The Stabilizer Bar's rehab applications include maintaining balance and equilibrium during walking/gaiting exercises, as used in some stroke recovery therapies. It's great for "just resting on" under the arms, or extended out in front for kicking drills. The Stabilizer Bar works well in workouts for individuals with low level arthritis. The amount of flotation can be adjusted by adding or removing rings.
** Can be used in combination with (DMP-8723) Sectional Raft or (DMP-8727) Dolphin Float System.
Our swimming and flotation equipment by Danmar is designed to accommodate different levels of ability in the water. Constructed from Ensolite® Marine Flotation Foam, they do not sink or absorb water, even if cut or punctured. Each piece is triple coated with our durable vinyl finish, in bright yellow, making them highly visible in the water. Rainbow polypropylene webbing and super tough nylon buckles (on certain products) resist chlorine and salt water corrosion. They are easily cleaned by hand, using mild detergent. Avoid any harsh chemical cleaners.
In order to help decide on the type of equipment and the appropriate size for the individual, here are a few basic considerations:
- Individuals medical condition, considering the type and severity of the disability.
- Amount of trunk and head control that the individual exhibits.
- Amount of spasticity/rigidity exhibited.
- Age, weight and amount of body fat that contributes to natural buoyancy.
- Teaching goals which are desired i.e. maximum or minimum flotation for full range of motion in the extremities.
- Versatility of equipment: our swim aids by Danmar are designed for all age groups and may be adapted to changing levels of proficiency.
