D-Ring Exercise Aids - Features and Benefits

For those who have had a stroke, suffered from a spinal injury or have a condition that reduces hand function such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy, the durable and versatile D-Ring Aids can make a number of exercises possible. Construced out of tough webbing and comfortable but durable neoprene (wet suit material) they're designed to withstand regular use, even for strenuous activities. Machine washable.

Examples of use:

• Gym equipment (eg, cable machines, pulley machines)

About Active Hands:

Active Hands became an award winning product in 2011 after receiving the Stelios Disabled Entrepreneur Award (UK).  The gripping aids were created by wheelchair user Rob Smith who experienced a high-level spinal cord injury that caused partial paralysis in all four limbs. Rob was frustrated by the limitations caused by his poor hand function and the lack of suitable equipment available to help him, so he began designing a range of aids to help people lead more independent lives.
