Rehabilitation Services

  • What rehabilitation services does BIGTREE Medicare & Nursing Home offer?

  • Can you provide more information about the intelligent pneumatic resistance technology used in your rehabilitation equipment?

    Our rehabilitation equipment features intelligent pneumatic resistance technology, known as HUR resistance, which offers several advantages for our residents.

This close-to-zero minimum resistance and stepless resistance adjustment make our machines suitable for users of all levels, ensuring optimal progression in strength training without risking injury.

  • How does the intelligent pneumatic resistance technology benefit residents undergoing rehabilitation?

    The intelligent pneumatic resistance technology in our rehabilitation equipment employs a natural transmission of power, simulating the natural function and movement of muscles. This Natural Transmission™ advantage ensures that the workload is applied more specifically to the muscles, mimicking their natural function and providing more effective results.

  • What are the advantages of pneumatic technology in HUR equipment used at BIGTREE Medicare & Nursing Home?

    HUR equipment utilizes pneumatic technology, making our gym comfortable, virtually silent, and user-friendly. Users can easily operate the machines independently, thanks to simple controls and stepless resistance adjustment. Additionally, the machines are safe to use, with all power-transmission technology encased for added safety. With our Natural Transmission pneumatic technology, pressure on limbs can be reduced, and limbs can even be moved passively, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of rehabilitation exercises.
