With one arm in a sling, can I use the treadmill with one hand?

Yes for some. You would need good balance and also to begin carefully until you learned the characteristics of the treadmill. Because you are supplying the power, this treadmill does not react the same way as the powered ones at a gym.

I put my arm in a sling and if I held the bar infront of me instead of the side handles I had no problems. Just start out slow and a good pace walk was no problem.. I'm 65yrs.old. Good Luck hope you heal soon. :)

Probably not, you may fall and break something else. Wait until your arm heals and then go for it!

I would advise no. Balance is essential on this treadmill and I found having both hands securely in place necessary.

If you've never used a manual treadmill, it will take some getting used to because you need to hold on to the bars at first, at least I had to. Now I'm able to walk without holding on to the bars. Try it without the incline 1st and walk slowly

Yes, Hold the handles one in each hand, thread the right handle into the opening above left handle. In the process of threading the right handle the two handles will switch hands and repeat putting the now right handle into the opening above the now left handle. Your now left handle will become the single/one side allowing the unilateral exercises. TRX added the restriction loop as an afterthought and they taught me how to do the threading. For safety and convenience I understand TRX added the "restriction loop".

I can use it with either hand and it works so well, I have begun to use it all the time. Good luck!

Sorry for the delay in answering. The arm only rotates side to side. Not sure if that helps you or not.

Yes. You slide the arms onto the vertical bar, so you could put only one if you wanted to.

no, it will accommodate only one hand at a time which is not the ideal situation.

In theory, I guess you can use the stepper while seated, but I don't think you'd receive the same benefits. Certainly, you couldn't use the arm bands without some serious adjustments.

Yes, it can be used with one hand. I think if someone had extremely small hands it could be a bit difficult, but the average adult should be able to manage it.

I hold the wand with one hand and use the other to operate the lever, but it could be possible to do it all with one hand. You'd have to tuck the wand under your arm somehow.

No but you could probably get away with using it running or on the treadmill. I've never seen anyone do that.

Depends on the brand, shouldn't make any difference in exercising though. If you are using a flat palm grip on the bell where a raised notation affects your hand, you should always be able to rotate the bell and use the back side.

Only if you can stand to use it. It is very difficult to use if you have been using a regular treadmill. The tracks on this are manual and I have a difficult time using it.

It takes a bit of practice in order to apply one handed, but it can be done. You basically have to trap one side under your arm for example then pull and wrap around to tighten it down. As you wrap it around each time the rubbery material clings to itself.

A bit awkward, I can manage one arm at a time, it is Velcro fastener so easy to adapt. I hope this info helps.

no... one arm would not work. You need to use both arms at same time. But even with 2 arms, it was so uncomfortable I didn't even end up using it.

I have a treadmill desk and it works perfectly over this particular treadmill. The arms are not a hindrance while I am walking and working on the treadmill

There should not be any problems using one hand as long as you follow the directions of placing the cuff on currectly.
