The Flexionater can generate loads from zero to several hundred foot-pounds of torque to accommodate the specific mechanical characteristics of...
Hanging up cloths. Swinging golf clubs. Playing tennis. All of these motions require full extension of the elbow.
Of all the joints, the elbow is perhaps the most difficult to rehabilitate. Following surgery, patients often develop arthrofibrosis (an abnormal growth of fibrous ‘scar tissue’ around the joint’ of the elbow – which leads to loss of motion. In fact, according to Jesse B. Jupiter, MD. Surgical scar removal procedures have a complication rate between 10 to 30 percent.
The ERMI Elbow Extensionater® is designed based on the principle of three point bending. Studies have shown that patients demonstrated an average of 15 degrees increased elbow extension in five weeks, with most demonstrating full elbow extension in that time frame.
The ERMI Elbow Extensionater® II is a very small, easy to use device that uses a patented pneumatic air bladder technology to improve extension.
