EnableMe | enableme - stroke recovery and support

My wife, Joy does a lot of arm exercises on table tops and benches and friction is always a problem. We have tried sheets of silk material etc which help but don't eliminate the problem entirely.

To overcome this I rigged up a suspended handle (I used an old handle for a water ski rope but you could tie a length of broom handle on a rope each end so that it hangs horizontally). The resut was good - Joy can now move her arm in any direction and up and down in an arc really well.

This is fantastic David

Hi David How did you Suspend it? I would think it needs to be movable and overhead somehow. Ideally I guess you'd want to attach it to the back of a chair somehow.

Hi HeatherI attached the rope swing to a hook in the garage. We use it with the panel lift door up and I put a hook on one of the door frames that is horizontal when the door is up and not in the way when it is down. Used a snap hook so it is easy to put on and take off.

Brilliant, anything that helps recovery is worth its weight in gold
