5. Utilization
1. Adjusting the weight
All RehabPro pulleys are “magnetic, pin select”and all weight stacks are measured in pounds. The weight
stack measures as follows:
Increment Weight Resistance Increment Weight Total Weight
# 1 1.25 lbs. 1.25 lbs. # 11 2.50 lbs. 25.00 lbs.
# 2 1.25 lbs. 2.50 lbs. # 12 2.50 lbs. 27.50 lbs.
# 3 2.50 lbs. 5.00 lbs. # 13 2.50 lbs. 30.00 lbs.
# 4 2.50 lbs. 7.50 lbs. # 14 2.50 lbs. 32.50 lbs.
# 5 2.50 lbs. 10.00 lbs. # 15 2.50 lbs. 35.00 lbs.
# 6 2.50 lbs. 12.50 lbs. # 16 2.50 lbs. 37.50 lbs.
# 7 2.50 lbs. 15.00 lbs. # 17 2.50 lbs. 40.00 lbs.
# 8 2.50 lbs. 17.50 lbs. # 18 2.50 lbs. 42.50 lbs.
# 9 2.50 lbs. 20.00 lbs. # 19 2.50 lbs. 45.00 lbs.
# 10 2.50 lbs. 22.50 lbs. # 20 2.50 lbs. 47.50 lbs.
# 21 2.50 lbs. 50.00 lbs.
RehabPro standard pulleys come with 3x 0.5 lb. add-on weight.
2. Adjusting the Angle of the Rope (based on the length –tension concept)
The upper rope adjustment bracket changes the angle of pull, allowing each exercise to be performed
correctly from an anatomical and physiological point of view. The rule of thumb is as follows:
A –Check available range of motion.
B –Chose which exercise to be performed.
C –Pulley rope should be at 90 degrees with the lever arm at mid-range (mid-range may change as motion
around the joint(s) improve).
Picture shows the upper rope adjustment bracket
correctly attached to the rope adjustment bar. “Pull
out”on the black spring-loaded adjustment pin in
order to move the rope adjustment bracket up or
down the bar.
Make sure the spring-loaded pin pops back into place
(all the way) before attempting to exercise using the
pulley.
