Why use strength-building exercise equipment?
It's Less Demanding!
The human body is like a weight stack o an exercise machine. Whether
you are lifting the weight of our body or the weights on a machine, you are lifting
weight. The benefit of exercise equipment is that the weight is fully adjustable;
the user can begin with virtually zero weight and gradually add more as needed.
Exercise equipment provides the opportunity to build from low level strength training and
progress at and individualized rate.
It's Safer!
Safety is always a concern during the rehabilitation process. Exercise
equipment is a safe treatment method because the individual maintain sound, predictable
and controllable patterns of movement, uses optimal resistance and receives needed
postural support. These safety features relieve the user of the related fear and
permit the therapy team to focus on the recovery process.
It's More Effective!
Strength training programs have been
found to be effective, resulting in highly significant improvement in strength even among
the oldest old.
