Hydraulic Shoulder Machine ZEPU-KS101

Key features

• Lift and pull-down on the same arm. Pushing up trains the deltoid and triceps, pulling down trains the latissimus dorsi and biceps.
• Seated with backrest. The trunk rests on the backrest, so the load stays on the shoulder joint.
• Bidirectional hydraulic resistance. The hydraulic cylinder brakes the movement in both directions. The patient works actively on the way out and on the way back, with no eccentric phase and no jolts.
• 10 adjustment steps. The resistance level is chosen from a 10-position selector without getting off the machine.
• Maximum load 150 kg. Frame and upholstery rated for patients up to 150 kg.
• No weights. No weight stack or plates. The machine is safe for elderly patients and for post-operative rehabilitation.

Clinical indications

The equipment is indicated for:

• Rehabilitation after shoulder surgery and immobilisation
• Impingement syndrome and shoulder instability, in the strengthening phase
• Shoulder girdle weakness in the elderly
• Return to training in athletes after shoulder injuries

Frequently asked questions

What does bidirectional hydraulic resistance mean?

Resistance comes from a hydraulic cylinder that brakes the movement in both directions. The patient works concentrically on the way out and on the way back, with no eccentric phase and no free-falling weights.

How does it differ from a weight-stack machine?

There is no weight stack or plates. Resistance increases with the speed of execution, so the patient cannot be overpowered by the load, and the level is changed from a 10-step selector without getting off the machine.

Which patients is it suitable for?

Orthopaedic and post-operative rehabilitation, elderly patients and athletes returning to training, in clinics, rehabilitation centres and physiotherapy gyms.
