The Orbital Group Inc, is proud to announce that they are currently seeking FDA approval for medical breakthrough exercise technology, the Orbital 360™ exercise machine. The Orbital 360™ can be classified as a non-measuring medical exercise device, effectively configured to address wheelchair bound individuals as well as those with physical and functional challenges. Among other attributes, this breakthrough exercise machine has produced positive results in reversing bone density loss in osteoporosis patients. In an EMG study, performed by a well known California University, the Orbital 360™ has proven to be far superior to current linear exercise apparatus in the strength of all tested muscle groups. (results are provided on the website at www.orbital360.com)
The Orbital 360™ rotational exercise apparatus far exceeds current linear exercise equipment, used today, to strengthen the upper body of individuals due to its ability to perform effectively on linear pushes, pulls, presses and other upper body movements.
The Orbital 360™ exercise apparatus was created by inventor and fitness expert Michael W. Knight. Michael is credited with pioneering the use of rubber bands for resistance. His technology has been seen in almost every fitness location throughout the world for more than 30 years, providing the foundation for all elastic band machines including the Therabands, used in rehabilitation and fitness training today. Michael also invented the first portable Space Gym, on which he trained many celebrities, as well as people suffering from anorexia and bulimia. Michael is also credited with innovative exercise equipment such as the Slingshot, and Stepski.
The Orbital 360™ is effectively configured to address wheelchair bound individuals as well as those with physical and functional challenges. The unique Orbital technology, designed after the body's own ball & socket joint mechanism, allows for variable movement patterns throughout all plains of motion. With its adjustable friction based resistance components, telescopic poles and rotational handles, the user is able replicate accurately the way the body moves naturally. It is the only fully rotational exercise device, with constant, consistent resistance available on the market. Experts agree that rotational training is vital for optimal functioning to improve strength and stabilization through different segments of the body.
The Orbital 360™ has a wheelchair receiving area to comfortably accommodate a handicapped individual to strengthen, stretch and tone their entire upper body without having to leave their wheelchair.
A number of syndromes that have been effectively treated to date include lower back pain, shoulder pain, rotator cuffs, tennis elbows, arthritic wrists and muscular skeletal pain of the hip joints, to name a few.
By seeking FDA approval the Orbital 360™ would be available to patients as Durable Medical Equipment (DME) through major health plans and allow for the rehabilitation of those conditions mentioned above
The Orbital 360™ stands to re-write the current accepted standards of both functional fitness and rehabilitation.
