Another New Year? Boy, they seem to come around every year or so. Well, since we are going into yet another New Year we should view at least five of the many new unique products that Rehabmart is proud to offer to our customers.

For many of us in the United States at the time of the New Year, there is snow on the ground, gathering up outside our windows for the long-haul--so why not talk about an outdoor swing set and clubhouse? By the time spring prances forth with its sun and singing birds, melting the old snowdrifts and abating the blowing icy wind, a child’s ‘cooped-up-in-the-house’ body and mind is ready to explode into the idea of playing outdoors among green grass and warm breezes. What better way for a snow-bound child to enjoy the warming sunny outdoor days of spring than with some run-and-fun time on a Monterey Wooden Swing Set playground set?

This pre-stained, cut, and stamped wooden playground equipment swing set has a lot of room for children to play and climb around on the swing set/clubhouse/treehouse playground. With its natural looking design, this playground equipment features two belt swings, a 10 foot Speed Slide, a glider with a ship’s wheel design, a rock-solid 5-foot rock wall with easy-to-grab oversized rocks, a top-level tree house with peepholes for childhood imaginary viewing pleasures, AND a lower-level clubhouse that has a built-in table and bench for afternoon snacks and hours of board game playing fun. While the kids enjoy playing and scampering about on the Monterey Wooden Swing Set Playground, the purchaser will like the one-year warranty on the parts and the five-year warranty of the wood for rot and decay.

There are hazards out there in the world. Slipping on a winter ice patch, injuring one’s self during a pick-up basketball game at the Y, or falling out of a treehouse fort with peepholes; all of these situations can be a precursor to someone needing the comfort and security of a Mayo Clinic Elbow Brace. Offering protection and support after surgery or injury, the Mayo Clinic Elbow Brace utilizes a unique control knob and adjustable hinge that provides comfort and stability while at the same time allowing for immobilization, free motion, and static stretch. Replacing the need for the conventional two braces support when treating elbow contractures, it also eliminates the need for future serial casting for acute fracture dislocations and elbow reconstructions.

The way this elbow brace works is that the buckle-free brace will stretch the elbow from full extension to full flexion, thereby minimizing the risk of contractures. Its lightweight design can be easily adjusted for a variety of sizes, and the air-cell straps will fit the user comfortably and securely.

Unfortunately, arm and elbow traumas will not be the only new injuries that will occur in the fields of play, from the results of war, or within the bastion of working arenas during this New Year of 2016. The Shuttle Recovery Leg Press System will be the perfect exercise therapy device for therapists and clinicians to help the newly injured legs of the New Year, too.

Offering a variety of activities from plyometric jumping to post-surgical therapies, the Shuttle Recovery Leg Press System can also make resistance adjustments, patient transfers, and range-of-motion more comfortable and simple for both patients and care providers. This leg press system additionally accommodates a wide range of patients, from athletes to 600 pound bariatric rehabilitation clients, offering comfort and support with its wide backrest and foot supports, along with an incredibly comfortable foam back wedge and wobble board that are also available.

Another new and unique product offered by Rehabmart is the Fiber Optic Ceiling Tile and Kit. Basically, a ceiling of a kid’s bedroom, an adult’s bedroom, a work office ceiling, or even a bar or lounge can be made into a lightshow! Each tile contains about 100 fiber optic strands that has an LED light source which revolves though a variety of different colors AND a sparkle feature, perfect for mimicking a night sky filled with ever-changing colored stars. Children and adults will love these ceiling tiles shining above them during the days stuck inside at home or work.

One must ask themself, where is one of the best unique places to view a color-changing starry sky? Lying about in a Paradise Isle Sofa-Sized Beanbag, of course. This huge, overstuffed with foam chippings beanbag is just about the perfect furniture for kids or adults to sit and recline on while enjoying down-time relaxing, looking at a starry ceiling, reading a book, or watching TV. Easy to move to other room locations or to put in the back of a camper or van, this sofa-sized beanbag can be a great conversation piece while comfortably reclining on it during the conversation.
