Aquatic Physical Therapist and Rehabilitation AquaLogix takes rehabilitation to a new level. The AquaLogix Fitness System is not only an effective exercise product that shapes, tones and increases cardiovascular endurance; but is also an incredible rehabilitation and therapy tool that has far-reaching applications.
This study was presented at the 67th Annual Assembly of American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation on Kinematic Motion Anaylsis in the Evaluation of Therapeutic Exercises used in Aquatic Rehabilitation conducted by Dr. Jan Prins from the University of Hawaii. The study was conducted using Aqualogix equipment. (download this rehabilitation study. PDF file) "The Leg shapers are perfect for "Angular Pilates" and Aqua Pilates to increase core/powerhouse challenge. Progression goes from no equipment to the progressive resistance of the leg shapers. Single leg circles - both seated against the pool wall and standing with side to pool wall - increase the difficulty of maintaining the abdominal bracing. Double leg lifts with the back remaining tight to the pool wall are added challenge, but only when it is possible to secure the back without impinging the shoulders. Standing and facing the pool wall, single leg kicks (knee flexion) require core stability so as not to over extend the back. Leg shapers are also useful for all walking progressions and deep water running." Dr. Mary Wykle, Ph.D.
I have been using your AquaLogix equipment for the last month, experimenting with therapeutic exercise for people with a variety of conditions: spinal cord injury, stroke, pre-surgery total knee replacement strengthening, myoclonus, Parkinson's, arthritis and fibromyalgia. I'm impressed with the ease of use, especially of the hand devices. Their unique design makes it easy to teach and execute ROM exercises in appropriate patterns, maintaining consistent resistance throughout the range.” ... Douglas W Kinnaird, NCTMB, ATRIC. |
