Electra – Shoulder ROM Optimization & Rehabilitation
- Electra helps patient achieve 180 degrees of forward flexion.
- Electra has a proprietary feature, not seen on any shoulder device in the world. It allows patient to engage in a “reaching motion”. Reaching motion is much different than a “lifting motion”. For example when you get a cup from the cupboard, you lift your arm to the appropriate height, then your arm reaches out to get the cup.
- The unique “reaching motion” of the Electra allows patients in performing the “wall crawl”, one of the most important exercises a patient performs following shoulder surgery and only Electra has this feature.
- Additionally, the Electra has another proprietary feature which allows for overhead external/internal rotation with reach.
- Electra is simple to use and compact in size. All rehabilitation takes place with single-post technology.
- It is comprised of a chair and a single-post that allows patient to perform a variety of strengthening and range of motion (ROM) exercises.
- Electra allows patient to seamlessly transition from one exercise to another electronically, therefore, no need to make manual adjustments to the unit.
- In addition to all of the Range Of Motion therapies, Electra also allows patient to engage in Resistance Strength Training.
-
- Isometric strength training – muscular contraction against resistance in which the length of the muscle remains the same.
- Isotonic strength training – muscular contraction against resistance in which the length of the muscle changes.
-
- Isometric Concentric – the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance then remains stable as the muscle shortens.
- Isometric Eccentric – the muscle lengthens as the resistance becomes greater than the force the muscle is producing.
