Shuttle Systems introduces the new MiniPress – designed to serve people in the early stages of recovery from knee surgery, hip surgery and other lower extremity trauma. Developed to provide simple, quality movement shortly after surgery as well as expand into a low-level exercise program.
The MiniPress has a wide range of ROM possibilities, can be used as a progressive form of “active CPM” in encouraging proprioception, and the elastic memory of the latex cords allows for both concentric and eccentric muscle loading.
The Minipress only weighs 18 pounds, yet with its Elasticord Resistance System can provide resistance from 2 lbs to approximately 100 lbs at full extension.
Portable and only weighing 18 pounds, the patient can use the Mini Press on the floor, sitting in a chair/wheelchair, on a treatment table or in a hospital bed.
"The lower loads and the capacity to exercise while supine or seated make the Shuttle MiniPress a valuable asset for the geriatric, home, and immediate post-operative setting."
