Cage Therapy
The cage is also known as an Ability Exercise Unit, Guthrie Smith Frame, Archimedes Pully Therapy Systems, Universal Exercise Unit, or Therapy Frame Cage. Cage Therapy uses suits, belts, and bungee cords to provide dynamic assistance in maintaining an upright position. The Cage can allow a child to stand without a therapist's assistance while allowing freedom of movement and facilitating balance. It is useful for learning to transition between positions, acquire the weight shifts needed for functional movement, and improve proprioception and arousal with jumping.
The Cage can also be used with the pulleys and weights to perform strengthening exercises in more challenging positions. The goals of the exercises performed in the Cage are to improve functional skills such as sitting, crawling, and walking. It also helps to improve balance, coordination, and sensory-motor integration. The ultimate goal of Cage Therapy is to promote independent movement.
Available is the optional rail with roller for suspension suits for walking.
