NOW-- do not be fooled-- even WITHOUT a whole bunch of required tools, installation of these is a bit of a bear. I think I spent about an hour under the bed putting the straps under the hyrdraulic lift tubes and then around the whole frame base."
"Strap slightly challenging to put on, only reason I didn't give product five stars BUT I would still purchase it again."
"He is able to move his right arm through the loop and up to grasp the top of the cane and provide himself balance as he pulls himself into a sitting position. A word of advice: it takes two people, one pulling and the other tightening the strap to really get a good tight fastening around the box or support mattress."
"Bought this for my mother and it has been such a help for her to get in and out of bed and to help her move and turn over during the night."
"The strap that anchors the device prohibits adjusting our adjustable bed."
"This was for my mom she has fallen twice in the last 6 months getting out of bed she is 84."

Find Best Price at Amazon"2 1/2 weeks after hip replacement surgery I have now used every tool and have nothing but praise. After hip surgery you have to be cautious during the healing process to not put too much pressure on the new joint and also avoid twisting. The slight curve to the jaw makes it easy to grip things. The tip has a magnet that will pick up small metal objects. With your leg out straight work the opening of the sock/tool to your toes and pull in part way on. I use the puller protrusion on the grabber to guide the leading edge of the sock over my arch. The little dark material at the bottom holds the sock and gets the top moving up your leg. I can reach the sock tops now with my hands without exceeding the bend limits and smooth everything out. The coated ends replace my fingers in pushing off the socks without overbending. However I have used this long shoe horn with the dressing stick to help take off those compression socks without assistance."
"This Hip and Knee Replacement accessory kit is vital if you are having joint replacement surgery."
"If you’re facing surgery and will need help dressing and restricted from bending, this is a must have kit!"
"Well worth the Amazon price in terms of reduced frustration and avoiding motion that could be hurtful to a new hip."
"I ordered the RMS Premium 5-Piece Hip Knee Replacement Kit for me as a Christmas present from my son."
"The grabber in the set works but is a little too long, and unwieldy to use."
"I was surprised how often I used the shoe horn, couldn't have lived without the grabber and the sock contraption was way more useful than I expected."
"I love the Nabber-grabber as my granddaughter calls it."

I saw this pedal exercisrr, and thought it might help me to both continue building quadriceps as well as loosening the joints. The foam that covers the pedal arms was a bit too long, and rubbed against both the pedals and the center gear. That was easily fixed...sharp case cutter used to trim about 1/3 inch off each end of both foam covers."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I've been suffering from a bout of tennis elbow for 3 months now and after only a week of performing the simple exercises 3 times a day my elbow feels better than it has since summer."
"It's only been 3 days...) What's also amazing, is I had a wrist pain for months on the other hand (early arthritis characterized by a bump which might develop soon my doctor said) and that's better too."
"I read about and watched online video clips about using the Flexbar as means of therapy for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)."
"The downside for me is that the green bar is larger in circumference than the red bar, and I have small hands, so it makes the exercises harder to do than it should be."
"Was recommended to me by an ER physician who is a rock climber to help treat my lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)."
"After practice my elbow still gets a little sore, but then I do 3 sets of 12 and almost instantly it feels almost pain free."
"Basically, there are two exercises that you can do with this resistance bar."
"Icing, stretching at home; Same at PT + weights, and other special treatments. Discharged to my doc, who then recommended a cortisone shot and potential surgery down the line. If I continue to improve or stall but still have pain, I will upgrade from the green (15lb) to the 25lb item. I started with the green as I am a 30 year old male who is in ok shape and also this was the color recommended to me by a friend."

"I received the exercise ball in record time!!"
"The pump it comes with is definitely better than most, but it still isn't great... but for the price, the ball itself is still a great deal."
"Great price and is priceless when it has given grandson hours of fun."
"Even though it's smaller than I expected it's still usable and I enjoy it since I use it in the mornings so I don't have to go to the gym in the morning and at night."
"Bought this upon the recommendation of my physical therapist."
"But in actual it is not that shiny and material looks little bit on the cheap side."
"Set up was easy and I love that it came with a hand pump! This makes inflation/deflation so easy."

Find Best Price at Amazon"As I lay on the toy strewn floor quivering in battery operated pain one brave child who is forever striving to be my favorite grabbed the evil devil box and in the brave attempt to turn it off, instead turned up the frequency of the attack. The injured and now fear filled mom is a quivering mass of pain and the children are now gleefully trying out the Devils toy on random body parts. I am giving this evil box a five star rating as the original pinched nerve pain is now completely gone."
"However, the instruction booklet is NOT helpful at all, so there are several functions he still doesn’t know how to utilize."
"It used to be that I couldn't bend well at all, could only stand for an hour at most even with taking Aleve and my prescribed muscle relaxer (and in retail that suuucks), and was always in real pain by the end of the day, no matter what, but since using the tens therapy about once every other day, and sometimes more when I'm actively very sore, I've notice significantly less steady pain, I'm more limber, spasms have become few and far between, and there have been days when I've been able to work short shifts (>5hrs) medication free! All in all I would recommend this to anybody curious, who struggles with ongoing muscle pain and weakness or spasms, and will be reordering pads soon (I find I get about a week or so of good uses out of each)."
"No problem - with this TENS unit, I can place the electrodes on the different spots and get relief all at once. I would definitely recommend this unit."
"I immediately bought one for myself and gave it to my Mom for a recent knee injury."
"I bought this for my husband's back pain."
"Good control over intensity level from very low to very high."
"You can see the muscles moving and contracting on all but the lowest settings, and it really feels like someone is kneading your muscles on the knead setting, I was so surprised!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"They're a great way to build up my hand strength, and kind of fun just to work them at the office, or while watching television. One small issue which cost a star in my rating was labeling."
"My surgeon did not order PT/OT right away, and having the putty to use (once my stitches were out) really helped build back my hand strength. I did eventually go to OT, more for stiffness and decreased range of motion, but grip strength measurements taken there 6 weeks after surgery were improved compared to before surgery - and I credit the theraputty for helping me do that."
"I was looking to get a complete set but at the same time not break the bank. Because this set has so many levels, I an can really work the child based on their mood and levels."
"I have used this on silicone, plastic, Formica, and marble surfaces without any problems."
"It is a little more firm than I had thought it would be but dont push it fast and it does a great job for those of us needing a very light workout for our hands."
"I have a trigger thumb that is helped a lot by using this putty."
"I was suspicious at that point whether someone had just put some nasty Silly Putty in a container and called it Theraputty."
"The theraputty that arrived today is 1) much stiffer than the comparable color in the therapist's office. And yes, the product theraputty sold me is a smaller portion than the 2 oz theraputty in the therapy office... yet it's the same brand and everything."
