Mobile therapy on wheels for early mobilization and muscle restoration

Parallel bars are an integral part of rehabilitation providing support and stability to the patients, as well as the therapists. Wareologie™ created foldable parallel bars on wheels to help facilitate early mobility and improve patient safe handling. This is an interdisciplinary tool designed in collaboration with VA clinicians to help people gain strength and stability in the safety and privacy of their room.

The world’s first Portable Parallel Bars enable more 1:1 time with patients while using fewer resources. Wareologie™ bars revolutionize rehabilitation therapy by bringing the device to the patient’s hospital bedside or home. Eliminate risky transfers and timely transports to a gym by enabling people to weight bear conveniently in one’s room. Standing with less assistance from staff can support team efficiencies too!

RESEARCH DRIVEN

Johns Hopkins NIH study reveals early activity and mobility can shorten length of stay. Clinicians can now have mobile parallel bars to encourage patients to confidently stand as soon as possible. This can reduce compounding conditions related to immobility such as respiratory, muscle atrophy, thrombosis, and bed sores. Getting to the rehabilitation gym is challenging if not impossible. That’s why we made lightweight, foldable parallel bars with 3″ swivel wheels for easy transporting. Built in Michigan, Wareologie™ Portable Bars are heavy duty and adjust to accommodate people of all sizes. They are ideal for acute care, amputee, and pediatric units, in-patient, out-patient, skilled nursing, and home healthcare.

“We can deliver therapy on wheels and be more mobile and give benefits to patients earlier on…For PT’s the device will reduce physical strain that we have while mobilizing patients.” Peter D., PT and VHA Innovation Network Specialist

USE CASES

The Portable Parallel Bars are designed to make people “feel” safe and confident to stand. They are ideal for numerous use cases including pediatrics, traumatic brain injury, amputee, spinal cord injury, acute care, stroke recovery, prosthetic, hip fracture, knee replacement, and oncology.

The compact design stores conveniently out of the way making it ideal for rural health clinics with limited space.

“We love the flexibility that the Portable Parallel Bars provide that allows us to care for patients in our satellite clinics while still maintaining a high level of safety for patients and therapists.” –Scott Stephens, DPT, Veterans Health Administration, Mountain Home, ID
