Limbar | Amputee Exercise Equipment

The Limbar is a purpose built physical exercise machine specifically designed for amputees to reduce the dissipation of muscle in the residual stump and increase mobility. View the demonstration movie to see the functionality of the great new exercise and rehabilitation device. Suitable for use with or without a prosthesis. Also suitable for an able bodied person for hip or knee post surgery rehabilitation. Great for strength training or Cardio Exercise, the Limbar has adjustable height and load settings and has a variable resistance throughout the range of motion. Designed specifically for amputees and clinically trialed in New Zealand. Able to exercise a wide range of muscle groups. Suitable for both arms and legs and suitable with or without prosthetic limb.

Designed with assistance from Massey University engineers, professors and students, with input from Otago University, NZALB and MidCentral Health this really is a technological breakthrough.

LIMBAR OPERATION

The need for exercise is well publicised these days, but did you know that it is up to 10 times more important for amputees. It is essential to stimulate circulation.

An amputee must maintain an average body weight that they are comfortable with carrying. To avoid stump size change and poor fitting of the prosthetic limb. As well as maintain a certain amount of mobility and freedom.

The Limbar machines were found to assist with maintaining and stabilizing safe blood pressures, another crucial element that must be monitored and maintained. Throughout this site you will find a range of literature reviews that explain the need in depth.

Limbar has been designed with all these points in mind by an amputee to suit amputees. The inside knowledge that only an amputee can obtain has been applied to what works and what is comfortable to use about this machine.

Hydraujoint Ltd is currently spreading the word about both the need for exercise in amputees and the fact that there is actually equipment available.
