The name of this fitness machine might immediately appeal to the lazy and sloth-like, but the Stuck In Bed Fitness solution is actually designed for people who are immobilized in a wheelchair or unable to leave bed.
The bed-bound exercise equipment is the perfect product for patients who need long or short-term rehabilitation, therapy or recovery in their own environment, motivation or activity in general. This makes it ideal for wounded veterans, injured athletes, cancer patients, bariatric patients, the disabled and those with muscle atrophy. On the other hand, travelling nurses, caregivers, home health aides and physical therapists can suggest the fitness machine for their charges.
The device is placed over the patient's bed, chair, recliner or wheelchair so they can pull the variety of resistance bands.
