Benefits of the Over Door Pulley

The Over Door Exercise Pulley is particularly useful in improving range of motion and co-ordination of arms suffering injury following cerebrovascular accidents; the stronger arm uses a controlled stretching motion to pull the affected arm upwards. It is also used for slow, passive stretching, and a whole host of home-based range-of-motion programmes. 

Where Can I Use this Door Pulley?

The Over Door Exercise Physiotherapy Pulley is brilliant for use in home rehabilitation (for added comfort), physiotherapy clinics for targeted exercise practise involving the shoulder, arm and hands, or long-term care facilities where residents with limited mobility or post-CVA are part of a rehabilitation programme. This makes the design ideal for use in a variety of spaces, adding convenience to both professionals and their patients.

How Can Door Pulleys Improve Range of Motion and Coordination?

Door exercise pulleys can help increase range of motion and coordination in the shoulder, arm, and hand following injury by:

• Gradual Resistance: They provide adjustable resistance to gradually strengthen and improve muscle control
• Isolated Movements: Enable targeted exercises for specific muscle groups
• Controlled Range: Allow controlled, pain-free movement to expand range of motion
• Bilateral Coordination: Support coordinated movements in both affected and unaffected limbs
• Repeated Practice: Facilitate repetitive practice, aiding motor skill recovery
• Convenience: Offer an accessible and convenient home-based rehabilitation option
