How can I benefit from using an APT?

Increases range of motion

The APT trainer facilitates the performance of repetitive movements of the upper and lower extremities. Using the Passive and Passive Assist modes enables users to moderately increase the passive range of motion of the major joints. Once obtained, a novel range of motion should be followed by Active Mode training for muscle conditioning

Reduces spasms

Passive and Passive Assist modes facilitate slow and controlled rhythmic movements of the extremities. Users with increased muscle tone due to neurological conditions may benefit from using these modes. Training with the Passive Assist and Active mods may increase muscle strength and reduce the demanded effort for performing movements.

Improves walking capabilities

Training with the APT helps to improve walking distance and speed. This improvement is achieved mainly by improving the aerobic capacity of the circulatory and respiratory systems, along with increasing the major muscles’ resistance to fatigue.

Increases muscle strength

The APT trainer enables muscle strength training by concentrically flexing and extending the main joints of the extremities, using five distinct levels of resistance. Additionally, trunk muscle strength and postural control can improve while sitting unsupported.

FDA Registered Rehabilitation Trainer

The road may seem insurmountable, but know that you are not the first to be in this position. Thousands of users have found that movement therapy can help achieve goals at home with the aid of medical rehabilitation training devices. The APT Trainer was developed specifically to help with movement therapy.
