Gymnic Physio Roll 40 centimetre Ball - Red

Product Information

It is advisable to seek independent advice before buying bed accessories or buying a special bed. Sometimes another solution may help instead, or the local council or health service may provide an appropriate service. Beware of salesmen who try to persuade you to buy equipment that does not meet your needs or is poor value for money. some models dismantle for transporting, which may make it possible to take the lifting pole on holiday; if the height of the bed has been raised (e.g. by adding an extra mattress for pressure relief) can the hoist still lift the person so that his/her bottom clears the mattress surface?

It is difficult to support someone on a turning disc. If support is needed ask for an occupational therapist or physiotherapist to assess the situation. One possible solution is a turning disc with a frame which the person can hold onto. The council assessor considers the type and level of your need. If you have many needs or if your needs are assessed as essential or complex the council may help directly; for example, if you have difficulty moving in bed and getting out of bed. The Physio Roll was born from joining two balls together and creating a tool which allows for a great use variety and a higher stability as against the ball. It has been used in the physiotherapy sector for many years and it is ideal for those who have coordination and balance difficulties, for disabled people, for elderly people, and also for nursery schools. Superb burst resistant quality inflatable 'peanut' for rehab and training exercises. The advantage of this product over a standard gym ballEstablished in 1963, Gymnic was among the pioneers to manufacture rehab equipment using the rotational molding method to work non-toxic vinyl. Former manufacturer of Disney puppets under Walt Disney Company License, this long-running company includes a reliable range of products ranging from children’s toys to fitness to physiotherapy and wellness. The company surpasses the quality standards of the international market for providing products to ensure the movement and well-being of rehab patients. Physio Roll by Gymnic is an effective tool for rehabilitation therapy. Also known as double balls, the Physio roll exercise tool has a peanut-like shape that makes it ideal for movement and stability related exercise. Some companies have a double bed option. Usually this comprises two single beds placed close together (one or both with the profiling option). If needed, ensure the beds will separate easily, e.g. for carers to assist from both sides, and/or there is sufficient clearance underneath, e.g. for the legs of a portable hoist. a moulded handgrip may be more comfortable to hold and an adjustable length strap provides greater flexibility; Always ensure the bed is raised symmetrically, i.e. all the legs are raised equally. Raising one end of a domestic bed or not raising all its legs puts strain on the bed and it can collapse. Double beds can have four, six or eight legs.

Bed leg raisers are placed under the legs to raise the height of the bed. This can make standing easier. However, once raised, the height of the bed is set and the problems mentioned before may sometimes still be encountered. For example, although the raised height helps a person to stand it is too high for them to sit safely on the edge of the bed and/or to lift their legs into bed.if raisers are recommended to raise the bed for hoist access, ensure (if the increased height would make existing transfers more difficult) that they are only fitted when the hoist is available for use; Two main sizes of roller are available: a small version (large cushion size) and a larger version (sleeping bag size). If the smaller, cushion sized roller is used, it is placed under the user’s shoulders and bottom. The larger, sleeping bag sized version is placed so that it extends from head to toe. When used for turning, the open ends of the rollers are always towards the head and foot end of the bed. Lifting poles (or pull handles) are designed to make moving around, moving into semi-lying positions or getting in and out of bed easier. The majority have a floor standing cantilever gantry, although some are wall- or bed-attached. If freestanding, care should be taken to ensure that the base is positioned properly under the bed, otherwise the gantry frame may tip over. A handle hangs from the gantry and, when adjusted to a suitable height, some people with enough strength can pull on it safely. The user does need to have fairly strong upper limbs and good abdominal control. manually operated beds are controlled by a foot-operated gas-assisted mechanism, a lever or winding mechanism or a ratchet system. The carer can find all of these quite hard work and the user cannot control the adjustment.
