U-Step II Walker

 

We created the U-Step 2 to increase your independence. The secret is in our patented U-shaped base. Its ultra-stable foundation braces you in every direction. It is not like pushing a typical walker. Instead, the U-Step 2 surrounds you and moves with you. You will feel as stable as you would feel holding onto another person’s arm.

 

The innovative braking system is easy to use and puts you in complete control. The U-Step 2 will not roll unless you are ready to walk. When you lightly squeeze either brake release lever, the unit will roll with you. Once you release the lever, the unit will stop immediately. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the unit will not roll away from you.

Vibroacoustic Therapy

I have heard rave reviews from people with Parkinson’s symptoms who have adopted vibroacoustic therapy as a preferred therapy they use in combination with other useful therapies like exercise, diet and meditation.  This therapeutic approach combines  sound with vibration to produce the desired effect.

After considerable research and investigation, I have found that the Sound Oasis Vibroacoustic Therapy System offers the biggest result for the least cost for persons with Parkinson’s symptoms.  If offers clinically proven sounds that were developed through systematic research.

 

Vibroacoustic therapy helps you relax, renew your body and prepare you for sleep – naturally! Clinically proven low frequency vibration that stimulates body cells into therapeutic states of relaxation and healing. Sound therapy provides soothing music with clinically proven brainwave entrainment for effective stress reduction, relaxation and healing.  Brain entrainment or “brainwave synchronization” is any practice that aims to cause brainwave frequency to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (e.g., to induce sleep).

Product Description

The BrainBall-FX is a therapeutic exercise tool used by physical therapists, trainers and individuals to enhance strength, balance, and hand-eye coordination. When integrated into a strength training routine, the BrainBall-FX combines fine motor skill requirements together with large motor unit activation, which results in the stimulation and production of healthy brain cells as well as more meaningful gains in strength.(1) The BrainBall-FX is a product that is an integral component to the ReGeneration-Seniors and ReGenerations-PD exercise system and addresses specific issues that come to all of us due to either aging or neurological difficulties. I have employed this exercise tool with great success to all populations. From the young to the elderly, to the elite athlete, the BrainBall-FX is a unique and beneficial tool. It can also be used to mimic sport specific movements and improve hand-eye coordination and agility. In addition to sport specific movements, it can be used to mimic requirements of everyday living. Recent studies in brain function and brain degeneration have shown that hand-eye exercises as well as coordination exercises performed by both the dominant and non-dominant hand, stimulate blood flow to the brain which provides a restorative effect on both brain condition and function. (1) The BrainBall-FX has rehabilitative, therapeutic, and general exercise utility, and can be employed as a rehabilitative aid developed for the purpose of working with seniors and special needs individuals (i.e, those living with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s Disease, as well as those recovering from the effects of a stroke, etc.) It is also effective in improving balance, coordination and movement in healthy individuals. The BrainBall-FX is an exercise tool designed to be used with a coordinated and specifically structured exercise program that incorporates movement, balance and coordination.
