Description: |
- Position wheelchair/chair at a distance a little farther away than client’s full elbow extension while holding cable handles/v bar.
- Secure the wheelchair by locking brakes. Have the client sit upright at the front of the wheel chair. Remove arm rests +/- foot pedals if preferred. Do not remove arm rests or foot pedals without a spotter if poor trunk or lower limb control.
- While engaging the core and maintaining upright spine and head posture/alignment have the client pull the load towards their abdomen. Shoulder should be back. Chest up.
- Return under control. This should be done in a slow and controlled fashion. Their inner core should remain engaged throughout the exercise while still remembering to breath.
