What It Helps
Introducing the MOVAO Mini, a portable leg press system, aims to increase strength, improve functional mobility and facilitate muscle reeducation for people with leg muscle weakness, pain, or fear of falling.
Invented by ICU Physical Therapist, Dr. Darin Trees, the 9 lb Mini allows a leg press exercise with 50 lbs of progressive resistance in bed or sitting in a chair for those individuals who have difficulty standing with full body weight..
The MOVAO Mini was created to benefit many.
