Tai Chi wheels | OF2 series♿
OF2-04+03 is a set of two outdoor gym devices – a large wheel and handlebars – combined on a single structure. It is one of the few devices in the OF2 series designed primarily for seniors, people undergoing rehabilitation and wheelchair users.
Both exercise variants are based on the rotational movement of the upper limbs, differing mainly in grip and the range of structures engaged.
Handlebars (small wheels)is operated with both hands – gripping both handles at once and making symmetrical or alternating rotations. The movement engages the wrist and elbow joints, and when changing speed and direction it activates the neuromuscular coordination of the upper limbs.
Large wheelrequires a one-handed grip and free rotations left or right. The larger wheel diameter lengthens the lever of movement, which more effectively mobilises the shoulder joint and engages the shoulder-girdle muscles. Regular work on the large wheel helps maintain or regain the range of motion in the shoulder – especially important after injuries, operations or long periods of immobilisation.
The wheels are made of HDPE – a material pleasant to the touch and weather-resistant, which matters for daily, long-term use. The low exercise difficulty and the option to use it from a seated position make this device one of the most inclusive in the whole series.
