Bed-Bound Exercise Equipment

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Stuck In Bed Fitness Machine is Designed for Immobilized Patients

— March 3, 2016 — Lifestyle
The name of this fitness machine might immediately appeal to the lazy and sloth-like, but the Stuck In Bed Fitness solution is actually designed for people who are immobilized in a wheelchair or unable to leave bed.

The bed-bound exercise equipment is the perfect product for patients who need long or short-term rehabilitation, therapy or recovery in their own environment, motivation or activity in general. This makes it ideal for wounded veterans, injured athletes, cancer patients, bariatric patients, the disabled and those with muscle atrophy. On the other hand, travelling nurses, caregivers, home health aides and physical therapists can suggest the fitness machine for their charges.

The device is placed over the patient's bed, chair, recliner or wheelchair so they can pull the variety of resistance bands.
Trend Themes
1. Bed-bound Fitness Solutions - The development of fitness equipment adapted for offering resistance training to patients immobilized in a wheelchair or unable to leave bed.
2. Rehabilitation for Bedridden Patients - The use of bed-bound exercise equipment in the rehabilitation of diverse patients such as wounded veterans, disabled individuals and those with muscle atrophy.
3. In-home Therapy Solutions - The creation of exercise machines designed for patients requiring therapy in their own environment, by nurses or physical therapists.
Industry Implications
1. Medical Equipment Manufacturing - Companies specializing in making innovative and accessible products for patients undergoing rehabilitation, therapy or recovery, and healthcare facilities.
2. Home Health Care Services - Providing opportunities for fitness and rehabilitation to bed-bound patients, and hiring professionals to suggest and utilize such equipment in patients' homes.
3. Sports Medicine - Developing specialized bed-bound equipment for the rehabilitation of athletes or physically active individuals who suffer injuries or conditions that limit mobility.
