Hey Tim, thanks for the email. That’s a great question. I’ve put it out there to our product management team to see if they come up with anything, but so far they can’t find any stretching products specifically geared for tetraplegics/quadriplegics. You might take a look through the stretching category to see if anything in there might work. When I look though, everything requires a certain level of either balance or arm strength. Maybe we can get other customers to weigh if they have ideas. -v

Hi Mary, thanks for your note. We are currently adding the Spri brand Kettlebells to the Allegro Medical site and they should be up there within the next day or so. Just FYI, the Spri 4kg kettlebell is backordered until early October because of the coverage in the September 2010 issue of Prevention Magazine. In the meantime, check out the Cap Barbell brand Kettlebells.
