The same parameters are displayed on both the Exercise Track and Numeric displays. A brief
explanation of these parameters follows.
Time: Counts down in minutes and seconds the total time entered for the exercise on the Setup
Options screen.
Distance: Displays the distance in miles or kilometers that the patient is expected to complete in
the exercise session.
Calories: Toggle between:
• Calories: Total calories burned by the user during the exercise session.
• Calories/Hr: Calories that will be burned per hour at the current pace.
• METs: This value reflects the resting rate of Oxygen consumption with one MET equal to the
Oxygen consumption of a seated individual at rest. Thus, a seated individual in a resting state is
consuming one MET. A seated individual exercising at a rate of two METs is consuming twice the
Oxygen of a seated, resting individual. A person exercising at 10 METs is consuming ten times the
Oxygen of a seated, resting individual. To compute the METs of a person actively exercising on
the Gait Trainer 3, the system uses standard calculations based on American College of Sports
Medicine Guidelines for Testing and Exercise. The METs value is always displayed in real/time
for current speed.
Select Direction: Use the <Forward> and <Reverse> icons to select the desired treadbelt direction.
Pace: The amount of time it will take the user to move one mile or KM at the current treadbelt
speed.
