Wheelchair - Elderly - Weight Loss Tools
Protecting your legs during physical activity isn’t just about comfort—it’s about safety, mobility, and long-term health. Whether you’re a seated para-athlete, a rehab patient, a senior, or someone starting your fitness journey at a larger body weight, safeguarding your lower body can make all the difference in your training and daily life.
At Equip Products, we design adaptive fitness and therapy tools—like the LapMat™, LapSecure Mat™, and HandyMat™—to help you train with confidence, without the fear of injury.
1. Seated Para-Athletes & Rehab Patients: Preventing Skin & Tissue Damage
For para-athletes and many rehab or physical therapy patients, the challenges go beyond mobility. One of the most serious risks is skin and tissue damage during exercise or even in daily routines.
Reduced blood flow from injury or certain medical conditions makes it harder to heal from cuts, scratches, or bruises—sometimes turning a small injury into weeks or months of recovery.
That’s why we developed the LapMat™ for fitness activities and the LapSecure Mat™ for everyday use. These protective mats provide a cushioned barrier for your legs, allowing you to lift, pull, push, and move without worrying about harming your skin. This means more consistent training, faster recovery, and better overall health.
2. The Elderly: Reducing Bruising & Impact Injuries
We’ve all seen it—an older loved one with a large bruise from bumping into furniture or equipment without even realizing it. As we age, skin becomes thinner and more susceptible to injury, making leg protection especially important during exercise or active hobbies.
Using products like the LapSecure Mat™ or LapMat™ during fitness sessions or mobility exercises can significantly reduce the risk of bruising and impact injuries, helping seniors stay active and independent for longer.
3. Individuals with Obesity: Comfort & Safety During Early Training
Starting your fitness journey is a huge achievement, and we applaud every step forward. But for many larger individuals, standing exercises may not be possible in the beginning—especially for extended periods.
That’s where our adaptive training tools come in.
-
The Multi Rope™ offers a jump rope-style workout while seated.
-
The LapMat™ and LapSecure Mat™ protect legs during lifting, pushing, or pulling movements.
-
The HandyMat™ provides knee cushioning for floor-based activities.
These products reduce discomfort, prevent injury, and help build consistency—two of the biggest factors in long-term success.
The Bottom Line: Protecting Legs Means Protecting Progress
No matter your age, size, or ability level, leg protection is essential for safe and sustainable movement. Whether you’re training for competition, rebuilding strength after injury, or starting a new fitness habit, the right adaptive equipment keeps you in the game longer.
