Stander with Tray
Altimate Medical's EasyStand Evolv Youth with a shadow tray allows a child to access the tray in positions from sitting to standing, while fully supported.

The stander has a modular base that allows options to be added at any time. The tray option adjusts in height and depth to fit each child and flips up and pivots out of the way, making transfers easier. A clamping mechanism locks the tray in position, and an adjustable-support arm helps keep the tray level.

Core-Training Tool
The new burst-resistant FitBALL® Peanut offered by Ball Dynamics International is a balance and core-training tool for beginners who may be anxious about training or rehabilitation on a standard FitBALL exercise ball. The elongated peanut shape rolls in one direction at a time and is more easily controlled by users than the company's standard ball, which rolls in multiple directions. The peanut's longer shape allows two people to sit on the ball at once, such as a therapist and a patient. The peanut is burst-resistant and latex-free, and does not have a strong chemical smell. A range of sizes from 30 cm to 70 cm is available. The ball is part of a newly expanded line of professional-quality fitness and therapeutic products.

Therapeutic Shoulder Exerciser
The Shoulder Rx™, from MGS Rehab Products, is a resistive device for therapeutically exercising the shoulder following surgery or traumatic injury, or to aid in the recovery from shoulder joint disease. The Shoulder Rx is ideal for the treatment of many conditions including rotator cuff tears, postsurgical fracture repairs, postmastectomy muscle rehabilitation, tendinitis, and adhesive capsulitis. The device provides the optimal geometry for isolating exercise to the rotator cuff and pectoralis muscle groups while minimizing deltoid muscle involvement. The hydraulic resistance mechanism delivers a safe, steady bidirectional load to the shoulder muscles for both internal and external rotation. The resistance control can be adjusted to suit individual patient requirements and is easily reset across therapy sessions.

Structural Correction Products
Get better results with products designed by structural specialists. It has long been known that if there were a way to keep a patient's body from slumping between visits they would feel better, heal better, and function better. This slumping comes from certain shoes, chairs, beds, and pillows that destabilize their posture, making them feel worse
and you, as the practitioner, get blamed for it. Our goal with the E-Z Posture Product Line is to assist you in getting your patients into an upright position and keeping them this way between treatments. You get the credit you deserve and can earn some extra income by carrying the products in your office.
