Bariatric Height and Width Adjustable Parallel Bars
It can be a real challenge for bariatric patients to exercise without specialist equipment. The Bariatric Height and Width Adjustable Parallel Bars are designed to make physiotherapy and rehabilitation viable for severely overweight patients. The bars can be adjusted to suit the needs of each individual user during physical therapy and the non-slip floor helps to improve patient safety.
What's Included?
- 2 x Height and Width Adjustable Parallel Bars
- 6 x Support struts for the parallel bars
- 1 x Slip-resistant non-sparkle floor surface
What Weight Can These Parallel Bars Support?
These bars are suitable for users with a weight of up to 250kg (39 stone). They include heavy gauge steel uprights for excellent support and feature a unique clamping failsafe locking mechanism that keeps the bars securely in place once adjusted.
How Adjustable Are the Bariatric Parallel Bars?
One of the main benefits of the Bariatric Parallel Bars is the ability to adjust the height and width of the bars which means you can cater to the individual needs of each patient. The height can be adjusted from 65cm to 100cm, with 5cm increments for maximum control; the width can extend from 70cm to 90cm to suit the individual patient's requirements.
How Strong Are the Bariatric Parallel Bars?
The heavy-gauge steel uprights offer a sturdy structure for the bars, and the clamping failsafe locking mechanism helps to ensure that the bars remain securely in place once adjusted. With a slip-resistant surface and ramps at either end to aid wheelchair transfers, the Parallel Bars are ideal for improving the mobility of bariatric patients.
What Are the Advantages of Non-Sparkle Floors?
A non-sparkle design essentially means that the floor is a solid colour, with no shine or flecks of other colours. Non-sparkle colour design has been shown to help reduce confusion among dementia patients, making this product a great choice for care homes.
Which Material Is Used For the Flooring?
The flooring used with these parallel bars is a wood-effect vinyl material in a 'Farmhouse Oak' shade. The flooring is slip-resistant, and has been tested to ensure that it complies with fire safety standards to ensure secure usage.
Are These Bariatric Bars Suitable for Wheelchair Access?
The base platform has been designed with inclines at both ends to make wheelchair access easier. This is also highly beneficial for patients who struggle to lift their feet high off the ground, making it easier for them to enter and exit the parallel bar area.
