Passive/Active Exercise for Disabled
The EX N'FLEX EF-250 Passive/Active Leg Exerciser has been designed for these who have a little or no control over lower body movement; it addresses basic principles of joint and muscle movement which help maintain flexibility and circulation. In the Passive mode the legs rotate in an orbital motion similar to cycling. This prevents atrophy of joints, muscles and tendons which occurs when these elements do not receive a minimum amount of regular movement. The Active mode can be used if some muscle power is available in the legs. In this case the individual can assist the orbital motion of the legs during all or part of a revolution, thus building strength in the muscles. A measurement of the amount of active assistance or resistance to the motion of the EX N'FLEX is visually available at all times on the Biofeedback Indicator.
Safe, Rhythmic, Defined Exercise for:
The EF-250 is small, light weight and can be used from a wheel chair or a lounge chair. After 30 minutes slow (16 rotations per minute) motor powered motion, we estimate an equivalent joint muscle and tendon movement as would be obtained by walking 500 meters.
