Wheel Chair Tricep Dips

This piece of equipment was also manufactured by the work centre's workshop, and consists of a U-shaped frame mounted horizontally to a metal frame that supports it.

The U-shaped frame is allowed to move up and down on bearings, allowing the patient to push the frame down and resist the upward motion and in so doing exercise their triceps muscles.

The frame is wide enough for a wheelchair to fit into and weights are stacked manually onto the front to offer resistance.
