It is a device for performing shoulder and elbow maintenance exercises in the event of fracture outcomes, less serious impingement syndromes and arthritic stiffness. It consists of a wall-mounted metal frame featuring a height-adjustable wheel depending on patient's size or the exercise to perform.

The device is fitted with a handle and knob that allow a wider range of exercises compared to the “Lapidari’s wheel” from which it derives.
Patients can work both sitting and standing, start their active exercises in free mode and then, by means of a clutch, gradually apply a greater resistance. Using this instrument enables the therapist to avoid the most repetitive work while the cooperative patient performs the activity in total safety.
The “Rota” comes complete with a manual and videotape that show a series of exercises.

A set of accessories can be ordered (code AC0711 Set of Accessories) to increase the variety of exercises offered by this aid.
