MiniPress

Designed to serve people in the early stages of recovery from knee surgery, hip surgery and other lower extremity trauma, the Shuttle MiniPress was developed to provide simple, quality movement shortly after surgery as well as expand into a low-level exercise program.

The MiniPress has a wide range of ROM possibilities, can be used as a progressive form of “active CPM” in encouraging proprioception, and the elastic memory of the latex cords allows for both concentric and eccentric muscle loading.

The Minipress weighs less than 15 pounds, yet with its Elasticord Resistance System can provide resistance from 2 lbs to approximately 90 lbs at full extension.

Portable and very treatment versatile, the patient can use the Mini Press on the floor, sitting in a chair/wheelchair, on a treatment table or in a hospital bed.

MiniPRESS FEATURES

Adjustable Footplate Adjustable from horizontal to 75 degrees of angle, you can help your patient achieve various degrees of flexion. The nylon security strap can be used to secure the hand or foot – or as a heel cup in exercising patient hamstrings.

Accurate Tracking The Distance Indicator Strips located on both rails allow you or the user to measure and document the exercise distance traveled. Distance is measured from the leading edge of the carriage and the numbers indicate the distance the carriage has moved.

Self Retracting Securing Cords You can attach these cords to a treatment table, bed, chair legs, or wheelchair structure to provide further stabilization. When the patient is done with their exercise, simply unhook the cords and they retract conveniently into their receptacles.

Roller Wheels A convenient handle at one end and the polyurethane wheels at the other provide for smooth transportation. And weighing in under 15 pounds, the MiniPress is extremely mobile. Zip it around the clinic, the hospital or the home.

Resistance Elasticords Five black elasticords provide ~7 lbs. starting resistance, one red elasticord provides ~2 lbs. starting resistance. Thus, the MiniPress gives you as little as 2 lbs. of resistance for the deconditioned patient and up to 90 lbs. at full extension for the highly mobile patient.

Convenient Handle Wheel or carry the MiniPress wherever you want. You can stow it or stand it in a corner. The MiniPress is a big workhorse with a very small footprint.

What others are saying

"The lower loads and the capacity to exercise while supine or seated make the Shuttle MiniPress a valuable asset for the geriatric, home, and immediate post-operative setting."
