Common Upper Extremity Injuries
The hand and upper extremity are vital for all kinds of everyday activities, both at work and at home. Accidents happen, whether on the job, on the playing field, or in the home. When they do, the complex bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of the hand, wrist, arm, and elbow can suffer trauma, such as severe bone fractures, soft tissue injuries, and tendon injuries.
During this time, it’s important to work with your doctor and physical therapist to understand how to use the latest techniques and tools to treat upper extremity injuries and restore function to each the hand, wrist, arm, or elbow. If you have an upper extremity injury, your physical therapist may have you use an upper body ergometer during your rehab. An upper body ergometer, commonly referred to as a UBE in physical therapy clinics, is a piece of exercise equipment which is like a bicycle that you pedal with your arms.
In addition, if you have had a heart attack, cardiac problems, or pulmonary illness, your doctor may refer you to physical therapy for cardiac rehabilitation or pulmonary rehabilitation. The UBE may be used to help improve your cardiac endurance or pulmonary function so you can quickly get back to normal activities.
The Challenge with Today’s Upper Extremity Equipment
For years, consumers have been forced to buy huge pieces of upper body ergometer exercise equipment with large footprints to get the highest quality and most efficient workout. While these devices are efficient, they are expensive and out of reach of the average consumer. In an effort to make some of the functions of big equipment more convenient, a hand-full of companies have created portable UBE equipment like mini exercise bikes for arms and legs. While these devices can be decent for leisure exercise for some, they were not designed to meet the expectations for moderate to vigorous exercise and strength training as suggested by the Center for Disease Control, especially for the whole body. They also frequently scoot away from people at higher intensity, often leaving the person frustrated.
