Drive Medical Overdoor Exercise Pulley
I had rotator cuff surgery 6 weeks ago and have had 3 physical therapy appointments to date. These exact pulleys are used at the rehabilitation facility except theirs is mounted to a wall. I like the overdoor capability because it is put in use and taken down in seconds. If your intention to use these are to support body weight, they are not strong enough for that purpose. Rehabilitation of an arm/elbow/shoulder is perfect for this device and has helped my shoulder gain improved range of motion in my at home exercises. I highly recommend using this to aide in your progress!!!!
This was recommended to my by my physical therapist after rotator cuff surgery. It does the job and it is not made for exercise, rather it is used as a stretching tool as part of a physical therapy routine.
It is not made for a strenuous exercise routine or built to be utilized as a home gym.
My wife suffers from a tear in her Rotator Cuff in her shoulder. Her therapist told her to get one of these to exercise. She refused surgery. I know this will help strengthen her muscles slowly over a long period of time. Very easy to put together..Read the directions before starting.My wife is feeling much better since exercising with this handy machine.
Perfect for PT exercises for my shoulder. The therapists kept putting me on this type of device and I decided to save myself time/money and just get one for home and not have to drive or pay for PT sessions. I asked my neighbor to help put it up (my injured shoulder doesn't allow me to raise my arms enough to put it over the door) and it is perfect!
I would give this 5 stars but the cords have no place to go to be put out of the way and with kids in the house I feel this is a bit of a problem. I worry about them pulling on it or wrapping themselves up in it. Great idea, needs a place to put the handles when not in use. I am going to buy a large suction cup with a hook to put them on. In addition, this doesn't have a way to fold out of the way so when the door is opened it hits the wall.

Description
The over door exercise pulley by Drive Medical was designed to safely and easily increase range of motion whenever you please, be it while sitting or standing. It easily fits over a standard door and arrives complete with a door bracket, pulleys, cord and handles.
I have been using a device similar to this at the therapy place I had to go to. Now I can add this to my home therapy which is helping me get back to normal movement of my arm. Had it up and using it within 10 minutes. Great item for what I need it for. Surgery on my shoulder is getting farther and farther behind me.
Its been very helpful for my dad. Lightweight, easily slips over the door and has held up well. He had a broken shoulder so has used for PT.
My 90-year old father’s occupational therapist recommended these pulleys and in several weeks, he’s made great improvement in his mobility and strength -- and he willingly does the pulley exercises because the decrease in pain is considerable.
product will probably be ok. the handles are missing so will have to come up with some kind of invention to be able to exercise. 4 stars missing handles
This little gadget is not rocket science, but it moves easily and does exactly what it's designed to do--keep the shoulder joint moving. I use it only 2--3 minutes at a time daily, but for one with shoulder issues/past surgeries, it does the trick.
