UK athletes and patients can now benefit from the RehabAngel, a device that can be used to exercise the ankle, foot and lower limbs as part of a rehabilitation programme for patients experiencing problems in their knee, ankle or foot following surgery, and as part of a rehabilitation programme for athletes recovering from injury.

RehabAngel consists of a platform on which the patient stands, can be set to different angles and altered for different foot types. Depending on the incline or decline angle used, different muscle groups are exercised. The device provides for greater ankle and foot stability while strengthening lower limb muscles. The device also allows for more-controlled rehabilitation of the lower limb.

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC leads the premiership league in knowing exactly how to get the best out of the NHS. Being one of the country’s leaders in Sport Physiotherapy and the management of physical health the Club immediately took the early advantage by investing at its State of Art Jack Hayward Training Centre the country’s first fully researched multi-functional exercise platform that was invented by the NHS.

The RehabAngel® is a multi-functional knee and calf rehabilitation platform for use within physiotherapy, podiatry and sports rehabilitation that provides variable angular rehabilitation. The device ensures a variable and measured range of graduated non-weight bearing, partial weight bearing and full weight bearing exercises to be undertaken targeting specific muscle groups in the lower limbs.
