The Therapy & Rehabilitation Sector
Our range of power assisted exercise equipment has been specially designed for people living with limited mobility, older adults and for those managing long term conditions including multiple sclerosis, stroke, fibromyalgia, diabetes and arthritis.
Innerva equipment allows for AAROM (active assisted range of motion) for end users. Unlike conventional exercise equipment, the Innerva range of equipment does not rely exclusively on muscle power, but by an electronic power system enabling users to work passively or actively, depending on their ability. Innerva equipment provides safe exercise to all the major muscle groups and helps to re-train movement patterns, whilst at the same time stimulating metabolic and circulatory systems.
Where is it used?
Power assisted exercise equipment is used by individuals all over the world in a variety of outlets which include specialist rehabilitation & therapy centres, hospitals, care homes and leisure centres.
Key features:
- Plug and play installation
- Removable components for easy access and transfer of service users/ patients
- Dual function promotes the simultaneous movement of upper body and lower limbs
- User friendly console
- Soft supports for good positioning and alignment
Who uses it?
Power assisted exercise equipment can be used by almost anyone regardless of age or ability. There is also a large growing number of individuals using the equipment to manage long term conditions and symptoms such as:
Stroke
Arthritis
Balance & co-ordination problems
Dementia
Parkinson's Disease
Post-operative rehabilitation, e.g. hip and knee replacements
Orthopaedic conditions, e.g. Scoliosis
Obesity
Cardiac conditions
Respiratory conditions, e.g. asthma, COPD, post COVID
Spinal Cord injury
Brain injury
Cerebral Palsy
MS & other neurological conditions
Fibromyalgia
Fatigue
The machines have opened up muscles that have been asleep for 30 odd years. I wish I found them earlier. I've definitely noticed a difference with my mobility and my balance. The different equipment makes it easily accessible and gives users theor independence back again.

Rotary Torso - Access Range
The Rotary Torso assists in the rotation of the upper body (above the waist) and shoulders. Rotation of the trunk is one of the first movements to decline as part of the ageing process. This is further accelerated in people with neurological changes.
Tricep Dip - Access Range
The Tricep Dip machine strengthens the muscles of the upper arm. During the push down phase of the upper limb movement, the triceps muscle will be activated. This muscle is important for reaching activities and helping to reposition and move around within a wheelchair, as well as helping increase strength for wheelchair propulsion. During the pull up phase of the upper limb movement, the biceps muscle is used. This muscle group is very important for lifting and carrying activities. In addition, the torso flexion motion of the exercise can also help build strength in that area of the body.
