Electric Height and Width Bariatric Parallel Bars by Hausmann

Parallel bars are a popular staple in rehabilitation exercises that aids patients in maintaining their balance during ambulation and coordination exercises. Having the bars on either side of the patient provides a surface for them to regain their balance when practicing walking, side-stepping, sit-to-stand activities, gait training exercises, or more. The bars can also be utilized in place of a can or walker to allow the patient to slightly remove weight bearing from a lower extremity by supporting their weight on the bar.

Parallel Bars with Battery Powered Adjustable Height and Width is an innovative approach to the widely popular rehabilitation equipment. The battery-powered controls eliminate power cords running through the room. This helps to eliminate trip hazards, as well as, gives therapists the freedom to place the parallel bars anywhere in the room regardless of where outlets are located. The exchangeable battery easily charges in the charging cradle and when low can be exchanged with the extra battery to allow the bars to remain in operation while a low battery is charging.

The user-friendly digital control panel has only two buttons to ensure that the bars are easily positioned to a level and width that is ideal for the patients size and exercise needs. The height control button allows the therapist to move the bars from 2ft (24-inches) off the platform to 3-1/3ft (40-inches) at its highest point. As the bars lower they extend out past the end of the platform to allow wheelchair users to utilize the bars while standing and walking onto the platform. The width control button allows the therapist to adjust the rails from 17-inches to 31-inches. This allows the therapist to set a close balance option or to move the bars away from the patient for unassisted exercises that still have a stand-by balancing option. While the bars widen to 31-inches, the width between the uprights at the base of the bars remains at 29.5-inches at all times.
