Spider

Through the system of elastic bands and a wide belt worn around the waist, the UEU provides very dynamic vertical or horizontal suspension. The goals of the exercises performed in the "Spider" are to improve functional skills (sitting, crawling, standing, walking), balance, coordination, and sensory-motor integration. The biggest goal in mind would always be promoting independent movement.
Not only is it a lot of fun for the patient, but it also substitutes for the work of two additional people.

Parallel bars installed inside the UEU allow one to combine any of the previously mentioned concepts with gait training, functional skills and transfers. It can be done either with the use of the "Spider," tracking rail or independently. Very often we replace the parallel bars with two suspended ropes, creating a version of a "suspended bridge." There is no age limit to use the UEU. The weight limit is 350 pounds.
