Arm Pulleys
The Ceiling Pulleys are one of the most basic pieces of equipment in the gym, yet
they are one of the most effective tools for the prevention of frozen shoulder
most common in post stroke patients.
Patients are able to use their unaffected arm to move their paralyzed arm and in so
doing increase the range of motion of the shoulder joint. This enables the patient
to keep the shoulder mobile improving circulation to the joint and helping to reduce
pain in that area.
With assistance, patients are able to be moved in a wider range helping to stretch
stiff muscles and increase circulation to the affected area. Keeping the shoulder
joint healthy is a very important step for continued and progressive rehabilitation.
