SAN DIEGO – efi Sports Medicine, the leader in functional exercise equipment for the physical therapy and athletic training market, has introduced the Power TowerTM and the 26000 Total Gym®, both designed, engineered, and manufactured to meet the rigorous needs of the most demanding clinical environments.
efi Sports Medicine (booth #113) will showcase these new products at the American Physical Therapy Association’s (APTA) Combined Sections Meeting, February 5-7, at the Opryland Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee.
The Total Gym Power Tower
No longer requiring a patient to get on and off the unit between exercises, the new, fully electronic Power Tower delivers level changes at the touch of a button. This results in a more comfortable experience for the patient, fewer transitions, and a more cohesive exercise session.
The Power Tower encourages functional exercise by using an individual’s body weight as resistance. It features a ground-breaking dynamic pulley system that adjusts to a patient’s girth and height to allow for optimum force angles specific to each exercise. As in other Total Gym models, the free-motion glideboard allows for movement in all planes of motion. Other features include a wide base, telescoping squat stand with three adjustable heights, built in pull-up bars and a fold away foot holder for hamstring and abdominal work. This unit also accepts all of efi’s Total Gym Pilates accessories and comes with an exercise manual categorized by muscle group and Pilates repertoire.
Total Gym® 26000
Building on the popular Total Gym 24000, the 26000 features additional functionality and provides more than 200 functional exercises for the trunk and upper and lower extremities. The new model comes with a built in folding wide base squat stand that adjusts to three heights and a highly adaptable folding foot holder that can be raised or lowered as required for the performance of various lower body and trunk exercises. Standard accessories include a Press Bar for the performance of military press exercises, a Dip Bar for incline dips and a Deluxe Pull-up bar with three grip positions. The new Total Gym 26000 accepts the Closed Chain Platform and all Total Gym Pilates accessories. It also features the new Adjustable Pulley Bar accessory that allows clinicians to adjust the height and width of the cable pulley angle for each individual’s size and specific to each exercise.
