CanDo® Twist-n-Bend Exercisers: More Than Just Strengthening
Improving the strength of the upper extremities, including wrists and hands, is necessary to carry out daily activities. Cando® Twist-N-Bend exercise equipment is an excellent tool in helping to address specific impairments and functional restrictions and achieve your goals. While there are many products to choose from, CANDO® Twist N 'BEND® can provide more features.
CANDO® Twist-N-BEND - What are they?
The Cando® exerciser is a flexible, lightweight, portable hand bar exerciser designed to strengthen hand, wrist, and shoulder muscles. It also promotes coordination and expands range of motion. In addition, the bar is the perfect size for twisting and bending. It's designed for oscillation movements for neuromuscular and balance exercises and soft tissue and joint mobilization. This 12-inch bar uses the same recognizable progressive colour code as other Cando® products (Tan-XX-Light, Yellow-X-Light, Red-Light, Green-Medium, Blue-Firm, Black-X-Firm). Despite the graduated difficulty in resistance, the bar length and diameter remain the same, so it continues to challenge the same muscles.
What else can you do with these exercisers?
CanDo Twist-n-Bend exercisers are designed to add more to your rehabilitation than just wrist and hand strengthening. They can improve specific joint stability, such as the glenohumeral joint and shoulder girdle complex. For example, a person can keep the joint in one position and oscillate (shake) the bar.
Exercise plans can also be changed to be more dynamic by including a diagonal proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern. Use the Cando® Twist N 'BEND® for posture control and self-mobilization exercises to improve range of motion, flexibility, and postural re-education.
These products can also be used for lower extremity rehabilitation and exercise to challenge muscles and joints with different inputs. Activities such as these improve stability by utilizing rhythmic stabilization and enhance motor control. The versatility of the Cando® Twist N 'BEND® makes them ideal for helping your patients reach their goals.
Consult your healthcare professional before engaging in any exercise or activity.
