 Freedom Pulley (Patented)
|
A unique pulley system that allows the therapist the Freedom to use pulley resistance with very acute orthopedic problems. By passing the cord through multiple pulleys the ratio of the
stack weight force to resistance cord force is reduced.
This resu3 in the freedom pulley having a minimum resistance of 1/2lb.
making it within the therapeutic range for such treatments as a tendon
in the late proliferation to early remodeling phase of collagen
healing. Using this resistance is both comfortable, safe and
encouraging to patients with these types of problems. This system can
also be used for patients with very weak muscles such as those
recovering from peripheral nerve injury. A superior product when the
therapist is working with a patient who has a very acute problem such
as rehabilitating an injured or surgically repaired tendon.
Freedom from the "ballistic" effects of the single axis pulley during muscle power training
A remarkable feature of the
Freedom Pulley
is its dampening effects on the ballastic found in the regular pulley
systems making it very useful for muscle power training. The system
eliminates the normal slackening of the rope with pulleys during high
velocity sweeping movements such as those found in kicking or throwing.
The
Freedom Pulley is a multiple axis system with the ratio of
movement off the cord to movement of weight stack with a reduced ratio.
Therefore, it is able to incorporate a large number of sports movements.
Freedom Pulley and Training Muscle Endurance
One of the main applications of the
Freedom Pulley is to help patients gain
muscle endurance with light weights. One of the most common muscle groups trained for endurance is the
scapular retractors. The Freedom pulley has two pulley ropes that can be arranged so that one is just above the other.
This arrangement allows the apparatus to pull toward the center.
The regular pulleys for this type of exercise would require two pulley
weight stacks. Yet the Freedom pulley allows the therapist to resist
scapular retractors with only one pulley stack.
When therapists are helping patients recover muscle power they are often concerned about injury to the
intermediate joint.
For example, if the resistance is applied to the foot so that the
patient can train the movement necessary for kicking, the knee is the
intermediate joint. The Freedom pulley with its dual support ropes can
be adjusted so that two ropes can resist the movement. One strap could
be positioned at the ankle and the other located at the knee for
protection. (see illustrations).
Unit is supplied with two leather handles and three leather straps for ankle, wrist and thigh. Height 102".
