Electra
Proprietary Design
- The Electra has a proprietary telescoping feature, not seen on any other shoulder device which allows patients to engage in “reaching motions”, considered essential to achieving full range of motion.
- Reaching motion is much different than a lifting motion. For example when you get a cup from the cupboard, you lift your arm to the appropriate height, then your arm reaches out to get the cup. When you are at your desk your arm “reaches” out to get something. Incorporating “reaching” exercises into a shoulder rehab program is very important, and Electra can deliver this feature.
- The Electra has another proprietary feature which allows for overhead external/internal rotation with reach.
- Only Electra allows patients to engage in 8 critical rehabilitation exercises.
Patients can also engage in Resistance Strength Training through various forms with the Electra
Isometric Strength Training
Muscular contraction against resistance in which the length of the muscle remains the same.
Isotonic Strength Training
Muscular contraction against resistance in which the length of the muscle changes.
Isometric Concentric
The muscle tension rises to meet the resistance then remains stable as the muscle shortens.
Isometric Eccentric
The muscle lengthens as the resistance becomes greater than the force the muscle is producing.
8 Critical Rehabilitation Exercises
The Electra Vs Other Shoulder CPM Devices
Shoulder CPM machines are designed to move the joint in a passive motion. Whereas, Electra allows for precise incremental static-progressive stretching and strengthening sessions.
The “stretch-hold” Electra provides is designed to simulate therapeutic stretching sessions and break down scar tissue (which is what restricts range of motion).
Its proprietary patent pending design also allows for patient to engage in eccentric and concentric strength training sessions as well as PNF exercises.
What You Need to Know About the ElectraROM
- Electra is simple to use and compact in size.
- Electra helps patients achieve 180 degrees of forward flexion with power exercises.
- All rehabilitation takes place with single-post technology.
- The Electra consists of a chair and a single-post that allows the patient to perform a variety of strengthening and range of motion (ROM) exercises, allowing the patient to seamlessly transition from one exercise to another electronically, therefore, no need to make manual adjustments to the unit.
- The Electra has powerful proprietary design features, not seen on any shoulder devices that optimize a patient’s rehabilitation and range of motion.
