SquatFit™

 

 

 

 

The SquatFit™ is a training device that teaches a user to squat correctly, without applying weight to the shoulders and back. With the lower legs secured into place, with or without ankle mobility allowed, the squat is performed with lower leg pressure applied to the calf plates, while directing the hips and pelvis down and backward. Throughout the squat the shoulders remain over the knees. Resistance bands can be applied to the device and the body for a more intense therapy, strengthening the legs, thighs, hips and back.

PRODUCT DETAILS

The SquatFit™ provides users a stable lower extremity base to help assure good motor function of the squat exercise to improve efficient flexibility, coordination, strength, and endurance to lower back and extremities by establishing a correct squat technique.

The correct performance of a squat is important for general activities of daily living; occupational tasks such as lifting, pushing, pulling and stabilizing; tasks such as for retrieving items from the floor or ground, balancing, and preparation of movement activities such as jumping, leaping and running. A correct squat improves flexibility, coordination, strength and endurance of the lower leg, knee, upper leg, hip, pelvis and spine regions and general conditioning for the whole body, and reduces the risk of injuries while performing daily tasks, exercising, and participating in sports activities.

The SquatFit™ is a device that holds lower legs in position with adjustable straps, or other securing mechanism, has a non-slip platform for the user’s feet, and allows the user to perform squats with no compression on the shoulders or spine. Resistance straps, or other securing devices, may be attached to a belt worn by the user, and/or attached to the machine levers.

Strength training of lower extremities and back are beneficial for allowing easier movement when squatting, standing and walking. Balance is achieved, which improves flexibility, coordination, strength, and endurance.
