(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Dedham, MA–AliMed® inc., a leading innovator of orthopedic, patient care, rehabilitation, operating room and ergonomic office and industrial products, now has a complete workout kit designed for wheelchair-bound patients.

Skil-Care’s Wheelchair Workout® kit allows wheelchair-bound patients to obtain a complete full-body workout with assistance from a therapist, nurse or caregiver. The user stays seated throughout the entire workout—therapist never has to lift, move or position the user. The exerciser secures in seconds to all wheelchairs up to 26 inches wide. Also, this product is completely portable—perfect for the traveling physical therapist.

Wheelchair Workout kit includes a wheelchair adapter, exercise bar, hand grips, foot sling and carrying bag. All accessories use an easy-release ball-and-socket device. Use just one 64-inch tube or band (not included) to perform over 20 exercises.
“AliMed is proud to be the exclusive supplier of the Wheelchair Workout,” said Marge Donovan, Product Manager. “It targets the neck, shoulders, arms, chest, back, abdominals, obliques, hamstrings and calves with over 20 exercises to build strength and flexibility.”
