CME Boxes, full set
$32500
Product Description
This special set of boxes serves to apply CME physical therapy as soon as the child becomes steady in standing position assisted by thighs. The boxes provide to the therapist and parents all the functional bio-mechanic possibilities to stimulate the spectrum of standing stability reactions and equilibrium responses.
The equipment is composed of:
Three boxes with the same measurements, one taller box, one square board, one cubic peg, and one long, narrow piece called a balance bar. Knowing how to take advantage of CME physical therapy set possibilities, children can be stimulated dynamically in order to increase standing posture stability, balance functions and gait control. The set allows the therapist to apply the exercises in a total ergonomic and safe manner, because the execution of exercises is always done inside the range of the therapist’s arms.
