Lode Esseda Wheelchair ergometer
The Lode Esseda Wheelchair ergometer is a Stress testing wheelchair ergometer, capable of reproducing high workloads time after time. The Lode Esseda allows subjects to be measured in their own wheelchair.
Quick and Easy setup
The wheelchair is aligned to the Lode Esseda Wheelchair ergometer using the alignment handle and alignment blocks. The wheelchair is then secured with the 4 strap fixation system, allowing for an accurate and reproducible placement each time.
Realistic feeling with useful feedback
The Lode Esseda allows for a realistic simulation of hand-rim wheelchair propulsion, while training load can be carefully controlled and adjusted.
In addition to this, the ergometer contains sensors which allow for the assessment of propulsion technique and exercise capacity. With two separate simulation modules, both sides can be measured individually giving you left/right data sets.
Simulate surface change
The ergometer can simulate inertia independent of the mass of the user and wheelchair. Through individual calibration each subject experiences real life wheeling conditions. We can even alter surface resistance to simulate surfaces with different friction or to create different test and training protocols.
What makes a Lode Ergometer?
The eddy current electro-magnetic braking mechanism is synonymous to all Lode Ergometers. Eddy current braking systems offer quiet, smooth, precise and adjustable control. Through design, this allows control of the workload without the need for physical contact between brake pads and the flywheel, reducing wear and tear.
High standards
Lode is a socially and environmentally responsible company. All Lode products are RoHS/WEE compliant and Lode is ISO 9001:2003, ISO 13485:2008 and FDA 510K certified. All medical products comply to MDD 93/42/EEC, incl. IEC 60601-1.
Lode Esseda – Unique Wheelchair propulsion analysis
The Lode Esseda allows for a realistic simulation of handrim wheelchair propulsion, while training load can be carefully controlled and adjusted. The Lode Esseda has been developed for easy access for all kind of wheelchairs and allows for propulsion analysis of users in their own wheelchair.
In order to do this, the Lode Esseda contains sensors which allow for the assessment of propulsion technique and exercise capacity. The Lode Esseda contains two separate simulation modules both a with roller, so that both sides can be measured individually.
Versatile data and ergometer management with – LEM 10
Easily create and edit protocols
The software enables the operator to program protocols, control ergometers, visualise, save and analyse ergometry data and print customised reports in PDF. Commonly used bicycle protocols are pre programmed as standard.
The program also provides a patient database and the possibility to connect to a SQL server or the Hospital Information System (HIS) with HL7. LEM 10 is also backwards compatible with previous versions, allowing you import and use your existing database easily.

Export Module – Export to Excel
With the LEM expansion module Export it is possible to export data of the LEM database to other programs. The data can be exported to MS Excel. Data of one test subject or multiple test subjects can be exported to an Excel sheet for further analysis.
