I have a pulley that attaches to the door for exercising Frankies OT thought it might be something he could do if we taped his hand to it but it didn't work so I have this thing brand new in a box if anyone would like it just let me know and I will send it to you Free I hate to see anything thrown out that might help someone else.

Mare, did it not work to tape his hand to it or not work for therapy? I have one and at times can not hold on to it so use a splint. I can take a picture for you if that would help. I am supposed to be using my pulley daily but havent gotten into a good routine yet. Need to do that again. I burned myself out with recovery from my surgery. I kind of took a break from all my therapy but now I am ready to go again and will start using it.

No his good arm did all the work he doesn't have the rght muscles working to do the pull down motion his left arm just hung there. Mare

I used mine to 100% passively pull my right arm p and then try to hold it up. I also am not using the right muscles but with myotrac, I can see where I am going wrong. Mostly, I need to learn to stop kicking in upper traps.

Generally when I do my pully my left arm doe sabout 98% of the work.

Bummer that it isnt working for Frankie!

Hi Mare,

My husband suffered a severe l shoulder injury in September of this year. As a result, he has had nerve damage that has left his shoulder "paralyzed", although we hope temporarily. He has been using the pulley system in therapy & has found it to be quite helpful. If you still have it available, we're quite interested. Can you e-mail us at brandon.skewes@skewesjewelry.com?

Thank you!

I use it all the time,for stretching the ligaments/joints more than anything. I think it keeps the joints free from jamming up too much, it doesnt get any muscles working but I get a full stretching exercise from it.
