Rehabilitation with Controlled Active Movement Rehabilitative Exercise

Lincoln REDCAM™ Controlled Active Movement Device

Lincoln REDCAM™ Controlled Active Movement Device - a Rehabilitative Exercise Device for Knee Rehabilitation & Lower Limb Recovery

The Lincoln REDCAM™ Device - Controlled Active Movement Device - designed to aid post surgery recovery and after injury recovery of the knee and the lower limb.

The three traditional methods used for muscle recovery and restoration of the joint movement are physiotherapy exercises, controlled passive movement (CPM) and a sliding board. The REDCAM Device utilises a combination of these three traditional therapies in one portable & affordable device.

Lincoln REDCAM™ Controlled Active Movement Rehabilitative Exercise Device is easy to use and light to carry. It is suitable for use at home, during travel and in the clinic. You can use your REDCAM™ anytime and anywhere to speed up your recovery!

The principal action of the Lincoln REDCAM™ Device is similar to that of the CPM (controlled passive movement), but with its passive element replaced by the controlled active movement of the patient's other leg, resulting in a totally safe guided movement applied to the recovering leg. The active movements fully controlled by the user gently exercise the lower leg muscles, improving comfort and enabling the users to exercise at their own pace.

Lincoln REDCAM™ applications

Rehabilitation: REDCAM enables a faster, less painful recovery from lower limb surgery, such as knee replacement or from lower leg injury, such as a sports injury. Aids circulation after heart surgery or stroke and helps patients suffering from vascular disease.
Mobility improvement or prolonging: REDCAM helps patients in early stages of degenerative muscular diseases, such as MS and MND to remain mobile for longer.
General exercise: REDCAM helps older people living at home in a care home to exercise actively but gently and prevents conditions associated with limited mobility, such as mechanical edema. Potentially reduces the danger of developing deep vein thrombosis in people at risk.

About REDCAM™ inventor

The inventor of REDCAM device Keith Toule designed the device after his Total Knee Replacement in 1999. A Lincolnshire farmer, Keith has always been active. His slow post operation recovery was very frustrating for him, hence we set out to design a rehabilitation device that would enable a faster and less painful recovery after lower limb surgery or lower limb injury. REDCAM is the result of his efforts.

Lincoln REDCAM™ Controlled Active Movement Rehabilitative Exercise Device

The REDCAM Device is the exerciser of choice for optimum rehabilitation following knee surgery and for any other post traumatic situation, major surgery or illness, where gentle movement of the legs will help the user to regain mobility and fitness. REDCAM Device can also be used to help rehabilitation of stroke victims. Regular use of the REDCAM Device can even help people unable to walk to prevent the formation of DVT (deep vein thrombosis).

Following knee replacement surgery the strength of the non-operated limb is used to assist in the flexion and extension of the new joint, the movement being controlled by the patient. There will be an element of active movement in the operated limb, hence the descriptive name of the device - Controlled Active Movement Device. The range of movement of the REDCAM devices is designed to produce a knee flexion of over 90 degrees in each limb.

The REDCAM device differs fundamentally from CPM (Controlled Passive Movement) in that there is active muscle input required in the operated limb. Another additional advantage of the CAM device is the active ankle movement associated with the REDCAM design. Active ankle and foot movements have been shown to reduce the risk of DVT. Further on the active quadriceps movement associated with REDCAM device provide natural physiological stimulation. Improved femoral artery blood flow may result from the active muscle contracture and an increased muscle work rate.

The REDCAM Device is lightweight, easy to carry and perfect for home use by people recovering from surgery. Regular use of the Lincoln REDCAM Device reduces post operative recovery time and restores functionality and strength of the leg muscles and joints.

Lincoln REDCAM Device operates from any seated position and from any chair or armchair. It is simple, but effective. Its patented design is totally unique and proven in clinical trials.

Controlled Active Movement Device is simple to use. It does not require electric power and it is maintenance free. It is portable and you can use it anytime and anywhere.

How to use the Lincoln REDCAM™ Device

Place the CAM Device on the floor to the front of a chair. Sit comfortably in an upright position, Ensure the position of the device on the floor is suitable for your height - adjust as appropriate. Place your feet on the pedals, strapping them loosely with adjustable Velcro straps. Begin exercise by pushing one foot away from you. This action will bring your other foot towards you. The alternate foot pressure on the pedals activates the REDCAM device.

You can adjust the length of the pedal stroke to suit your range of movements. You can also vary the resistance by pressing down with one foot, whilst pushing your other foot away from you.

Use the REDCAM device within a comfortable range of movements. Begin with a small number of repetitions, gradually increasing accordingly to your improving condition and fitness.

Lincoln REDCAM Testimonials

Mr David Gale FRCS Ed (Orth)
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

The REDCAM offers a unique method of lower limb rehabilitation, using the patient's able limb to facilitate the recovery of the other limb, be it from injury or surgery. The usage encourages and empowers the patient in controlling the rate of rehabilitation.The device will not only improve the patient's general stamina, but will also specifically help improve the range of joint movement under controlled loading. The benefits will be enormous. The beauty of the REDCAM is it that it is an active motion device. There must be an associated reduction in the risk of deep venous thrombosis due to the action of the muscles in the legs. I also suspect there will be a reduction in lower limb swelling due to the muscle activity required during usage. The device is light and has not energy requirements other than patient power. I thoroughly recommend this device.

Ms Mary McNeish SRN, DTN, BRCP
State Registered Nurse

Five years ago I was involved in a road traffic accident, which led me to undergo a total knee replacement. Post operative progress was slow. But within 36 hours of using the REDCAM, my knee bent to the required 90 degrees. It is my opinion as a trained nurse that the REDCAM could have many other uses in healthcare.

Mr Derek Lee MBE, BEM
Retired RAF Warrant Officer

I had a complete left knee replacement in 2008.My recovery was hampered by severe sickness and I was left well behind my peers. But within 24 hours of starting to use the REDCAM, I was achieving repetitions of 50 four times a day and rapidly increased to 100 six times a day. I was told that my progress was extraordinary and I can say with certainty that the REDCAM has been instrumental in my rapid recovery.
