Rehabilitation Equipment
Parallel Bars
A rehabilitation trainer with two parallel wooden or metal handrails. Users hold the rails for partial body-weight support during standing, balance, and walking practice.
Core Function Highlights
- Walking and Standing TrainingHolding the rails can reduce load on the lower limbs and provide a supported setting for standing and walking practice and gait training.
- Balance and Coordination TrainingThe rails support controlled practice in finding the body's center of gravity and improving balance and coordination.
- Strength and Joint-Mobility TrainingExercises such as supported body lifts can train upper-limb extensors, while other activities can target lower-limb muscles such as the gluteus medius and assist joint-mobility training.
