The ARMM is a physiotherapy tool that can help patients with their rehabilitation. It is an excellent way to increase mobility by allowing the patient to walk more independently and in a safer manner. By having the wheelchair attached, therapists can increase their frequency of patient visitations since they may not have to rely on a second therapist or assistant to follow them with the wheelchair when practicing ambulation training. In addition with the drop down legs patients can complete exercises such as squats, heel & toe raises, sit-to-stand, marching on the spot and many more, all while using the upper bars for support and safety.
Occupational therapists can use the ARMM device for patient transfers and as a support system for completing tasks of daily living.
