EQUIPMENT

I started doing these exercises using a piece of equipment called the "Rehab Station" (image below). The equipment can be transported to the patient's room for bedside treatment. This is my preferred setup.  The video on the right has a patient who is NWB on the LLE due to an infected heel wound.

The "Rehab Sation" is unavailable in my new work location. I decided to build my equipment using furniture-grade PVC pipes and fittings, but it is less effective than the "Rehab Station." One advantage is that it can be folded flat when pipes at both ends are removed.

USE HOME-MADE EQUIPMENT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
