Research has shown that manual wheelchair users are at high risk for developing pain and repetitive strain injuries at the shoulder and wrist.  Studies have shown that up to 70% of long-term Wheelchair Users develop Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) or rotator cuff impingement problems as a result of repetitive strain injuries.

The patented Orbital 360™, by its rotational and friction design, will reduce propulsive forces and lower wheel stroke frequency by simultaneously strengthening the wrist flexors, elbows, rotator cuff, core and back, thus reducing the risk of median nerve injury and significantly improving ranges of motion.

Since no human movement is truly linear, and given the fact that humans move in a true rotational manner in every day life, medical professionals have recommended the Orbital 360™ for pure rotational training for strength, stretch and cardio.  Biomechanical studies have proven rotational training to be superior for rehabilitation, general conditioning and successful sports performance.

The Orbital technology, with its human-like skeletal ball and socket design, provides constant, consistent friction resistance through multiple plane movement patterns, as well as balanced muscular development.

Because of the design properties, this machine allows the user to exercise without incurring stress to the joints or muscles.

The Orbital 360™ increases range of motion, reduces inflammation and Over Use Injuries, while stimulating muscle activity (See EMG study- http://www.theorbital360.com/OrbitalStudy.pdf) thus increasing endurance and creating the safest and most effective workout on the market to date.

The use of independent resistance adjustment knobs allow the user to choose the intensity of their training, to compensate for Muscular Imbalance. This is particularly beneficial to people with a physical disability.  

The Orbital 360™ is so versatile that it can be used by people who use wheelchairs, from the professional to the amateur athlete for rehabilitation as well as every day use.

A person in a weelchair can wheel up to the platform, grab the handles from the outside and begin to exercise. It’s that simple!
