Looped Exercise Aids - Features and Benefits

For those who have had a stroke, suffered from a spinal injury or have a condition that reduces hand function such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy, the award winning Looped Exercise Aids can make a number of exercises possible. The aids are designed for solo use and easily slide on/off the machine or handbike handles (when not under tension) to allow complete independence and the ability to 'let go' during rest periods. Features adjustable padded wrist straps to prevent chafing. Constructed out of tough webbing to withstand regular use, even with strenuous activities. Machine washable.

Examples of use:

• Gym exercises (eg, rowing machine, pull down bar weights)

• Outdoor activities (eg, riding a hand bike)

About Active Hands:

Active Hands became an award winning product in 2011 after receiving the Stelios Disabled Entrepreneur Award (UK).  The gripping aids were created by wheelchair user Rob Smith who experienced a high-level spinal cord injury that caused partial paralysis in all four limbs. Rob was frustrated by the limitations caused by his poor hand function and the lack of suitable equipment available to help him, so he began designing a range of aids to help people lead more independent lives.
