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.
