The challenge

This unusual request came from a local physiotherapy department, where the control panel on their seated leg press machine tended to be used by patients to pull themselves up off the apparatus, which wasn’t doing the panel any good and with an accompanying risk the patient might lose grip and fall.

The solution

We made a frame out of 22mm copper tube and fittings to go around it for the patients to use instead, spray painted it white, and secured it in place using strong cross-over U bolts.

The benefit

Equipment use is safer.
