The Home Trainer for Active or Passive Rehabilitation

The Active Passive Trainer (APT) is a family of unique exercise rehabilitation trainers for upper or lower limbs. The APT offers benefits that rehabilitation professionals expect from a medical device that is quality engineered and FDA and CE registered. The APT is commonly used in physiotherapy clinics in the USA and around the world and over the years multiple clinical studies have confirmed the benefits of the trainer.

The wide range of exercise options makes the APT suitable for use by the healthy and independent senior citizen for the maintenance of fitness and physical well-being, and also for the physically impaired of all ages, as part of a planned rehabilitation program and as a supplement to physiotherapy.

The Active Passive Trainer has been in use in physiotherapy and rehabilitation centers for over 25 years and is now available for home use so that you can continue your rehabilitation, without having to leave your home.

For less than the price of a coffee a day, you can own a personal medical trainer to be used in the comfort and safety of your own home, away from the crowds, and continue your rehabilitation at your own pace. The trainers are available for purchase, or you can lease a unit and we will ship it directly to your home.

How can I benefit from using an APT?

These benefits highlight the importance of passive training as an essential component of rehabilitation for disabled and paralyzed individuals, supporting both physical health and overall well-being.

Improved Circulation

Passive training helps stimulate blood flow, crucial in preventing complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and improving overall cardiovascular health.

Muscle Tone Maintenance & Reduction of Atrophy

Regular passive movement helps maintain muscle tone and prevent muscle atrophy, reducing the risk of muscle wasting and maintaining muscle health.

Reduction of Spasticity
Passive training can decrease muscle spasticity by providing gentle, repetitive movements, leading to greater comfort, reduced muscle tightness, and improved flexibility.

Joint Mobility & Flexibility

Passive training helps maintain or improve joint mobility and flexibility, reducing stiffness, and preventing deformities or contractures.

Prevention of Pressure Sores
Regular passive movement can reduce the risk of pressure sores by shifting pressure points and promoting better skin health.

Pain Management
Gentle passive movement can help alleviate pain associated with prolonged immobility, spasticity, and pressure sores by promoting the release of endorphins and improving blood flow.

Improved Respiratory Function

Passive training enhances respiratory function by encouraging better diaphragm movement and lung capacity, which is especially beneficial for individuals with limited mobility.

Enhanced Lymphatic Drainage

Regular passive movements aid in lymphatic drainage, reducing the risk of edema (swelling) and supporting the immune system’s function.

Improved Digestive and Bowel Function

Passive training can stimulate digestive function and bowel movement, aiding in the prevention of constipation and supporting overall digestive health.

Psychological Benefits & Mental Well-being

Engaging in regular passive training can provide psychological benefits by promoting a sense of well-being, reducing feelings of helplessness, improving mood, and enhancing the overall quality of life.

Maintains Cardiovascular Health

Passive training can serve as a precursor or complement to active rehabilitation, preparing the muscles and joints for more active forms of therapy when possible.

Psychological Benefits & Mental Well-being

While less intense than active exercise, passive training can still contribute to cardiovascular health by stimulating heart rate and circulation.
