StreetStrider – Minimal Joint Impact
When you ride the StreetStrider, your foot remains in contact with the foot platform throughout the exercise.
Because your foot remains in contact with the foot platform, the knees, back, feet, and hips don’t take the pounding when you stride that you receive when you run, jog, or walk.
With each step, when you run, walk, or jog, the foot leaves the surface you are running on and then returns to the ground with the full weight of your body on top of it. This repetitive motion of the foot striking the ground with your body weight can lead to painful conditions in the body. Running, walking, and jogging can lead to conditions such as bursitis or tendonitis in the knees and ankles or arthritis in the hips.
Many people with tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, or other ailments, may find it painful to walk, run, or jog. The StreetStrider allows you to approximate a motion similar to walking, running, or jogging, but without the impact on your joints.
StreetStrider for Rehabilitation
Because the StreetStrider mobile elliptical tricycle offers exercise with minimal joint impact, it is an ideal way to rehab from repetitive stress or traumatic injuries.

If you’re suffering from tendonitis or other repetitive stress injury, the StreetStrider can help you return to your best form.
Unlike any other workout machine in the marketplace today, the StreetStrider allows you to get the total body, low impact exercise you need, but with the added excitement of being outdoors. With a StreetStrider, you can have outdoor fun while helping your body recover from injury.
