HemiGlide is an original exercise product from Saebo, specially developed for the treatment of a hemiplegic or paretic arm*. The whole consists of a rod, a sliding handle and a strap.
*Hemiplegia involves a half-sided injury/paralysis as a result of brain damage. This can cause spasticity of a leg, foot, arm or hand to occur over time. Brain damage can be caused by problems surrounding birth, infections such as meningitis, an accident or a stroke. In 30% of cases no clear cause is found.
Suitable for therapy situations, but also for simple home exercises. The device comes with an extensive manual.
