The AB-140M makes use of the abdominal Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
method to directly measure the abdomen of a subject in the supine position. With this
method, the previously difficult task of managing the health of people who are unable to
stand or are otherwise disabled becomes possible.
The AB-140M also has the latest reactance technology functions, which allows analyses
to reflect cellular changes in the abdominal cavity and individual differences.
The AB-140M is recommended for use in the following fields.
•To manage the health and encourage the education of people for whom analysis has previously
been impossible, such as the disabled and the obese.
•To determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation and sports training.
•To determine the effectiveness of dietetic and exercise treatment.
Analyses can now be made of people for whom
it was previously impossible.
