STABILIZER
™
Pressure Bio-Feedback
A simple device that provides feedback
to ensure quality and precision in
exercise performance and testing.
The STABILIZER is useful in an infinite number of
exercises for all parts of the body. This instruction
manual contains information on its use for exercises
aimed at enhancing the stability of the lumbo-pelvic
and cervical region. Considerable research has been
completed on the specific stabilization exercises
related to these areas.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• The three-chamber pressure cell of the STABILIZER
is placed between the part of the body requiring
monitoring and a firm surface (e.g., floor, back of
chair, plinth, bed, wall).
• Tighten the screw (gently) at the base of the
pressure gauge. Pump to inflate the three chambers of
pressure cell until it molds between the body part and
the supporting surface. A pressure of 40 mmHg
(orange band) is suitable for the resting pressure of the
inflated cell.
• The initial baseline pressure may decrease initially
as the air backflows into the tube. Reinflate before
commencing exercise.
• Changes in body weight on the cell on any of the
three compartments will register a pressure change on
the gauge.
• Pressure on the cell can be increased, decreased or
maintained depending on the exercise/movement
required.
• After exercise, air is released by loosening the screw.
