A portable, simple and e ffective aid to rehabilitation after trauma or knee/hip surgery and helps to prevent DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
Overview
This is a lightweight portable lower leg exerciser that through clinical evidence has demonstrated its effectiveness to provide better joint extension and flexibility and improve muscle tone after undergoing hip or knee operations including fractures, sprains and injuries to the lower leg.
The self-adhesive insert pad is placed in the Ortho-glide yellow plastic base with the tongue of the pad aligned with the cut out area of the circular rim of the base. The pad should be placed centrally so that the insert pad covers the whole of the central rim evenly to ensure comfort during use. With the patient in a reclined position, the Ortho-glide exerciser is aligned so that the tongue of the insert pad is facing the patient and the heel is placed into the cushioned insert.
