Salute’s product can cover the entire continuum of rehabilitative care, starting at the inpatient hospital unit, progressing to the outpatient clinic and continuing at the patient's home. Salute’s product can be fitted to all patient sizes and support the lower extremities. The device is clipped onto a wearable belt. It can be clipped either to the right or left leg, depending on the injury, or to both legs at the same time. The resistive force can be easily adjusted by the patient.
A thin cord extends out from the device and is attached to a strap harness wrapped around the patient's foot. When the leg stretches towards the next step, the cord extends from the device and exerts a gentle continuous linear resistance. This requires a greater muscle work from the leg. When the leg swings up, the cord folds back into the device, assisting the leg to flex.
