ICU and critical care specialists are "Getting-A-Grip"
Having worked in hospitals for 20 years prior to inventing "The Get-A-Grip Hand Rehab Device(TM)", I have experienced the will to hold on to life, when patients are presented with attainable goals, even when in ICU and CICU. Hurray to the physicians who give their patients a chance to achieve and work with therapists, instead of lying in an ICU bed, often with waining hope. Therapy turns on that light at the end of the tunnel, that inspiration that can drive a patient.

The Get-A-Grip Hand Rehab Device attaches to meal tables, overhead orthopedic frames, bed rails, or any other creative rigging, to allow the patient to reduce edema, stimulate circulation, and build muscle. Patients in lower extremity and half body casts can use the machine to rehab hands, wrists and upper extremities from bed. The psychological and physical benefits of starting therapy early can not be adequately measured.

Hurray for the ICU's and hospitals that "Get-it". Mickey, www.rehabdevices.com
