A Rehabilitative Exercise Device that enables Controlled Active Movement by the user.
The device represents a ground-breaking development in the rehabilitation of patients following lower limb surgery or injury.
The REDCAMTM works by active rather than passive movements, which gently exercise the lower leg muscles. Movement is fully controlled by the user, allowing for
increased comfort and enabling the patient to exercise at their own pace.
Benefits
- Reduced recovery times after lower limb surgery or injury. Can be used to successfully treat a wide range of conditions.
- Improves a patient’s general stamina and fitness level whilst increasing joint mobility.
- Aids circulation and reduces limb swelling, by utilizing the muscle pump effect of
resisted exercise.
- Potentially prevents conditions that result from long periods of immobility, e.g. DVT, muscle wasting & poor tone.
- An effective exercise aid for the less mobile.
- Manually operated and simple to use, the device can be used in any location.
Rehabilitation
- To enable a faster, less painful recovery from lower limb surgery such as a knee replacement, or from lower leg injury such as a sports injury.
- To aid circulation after heart surgery or stroke or for patients suffering from vascular disease.
Improving or prolonging mobility
- To help patients in the early stages of degenerative muscular diseases such as MS and MND to remain mobile for longer.
General exercise
- For older people living at home or in care homes, to help prevent conditions associated with limited mobility, e.g. mechanical oedema.
- To potentially reduce the danger of developing deep vein thrombosis for anyone who is at risk.
'LESS PAIN - MORE GAIN'
- Quick recovery from injury or operatition
- Healthy joints
- Easy to use - anywhere
- Stay Mobile
- Boosts circulatition
- Helps prevent DVT
- Keep Fit
- Exercise at your own pace
How to use the REDCAM
Sit in a chair in an upright comfortable position, adjust position of device on the floor in front of you to suit
your height.
Commence alternate foot pressure on pedals to activate the REDCAM device.

Keith Toule
Keith Toule decided to invent the REDCAMTM after his first Total Knee Replacement operation in 1999. A Lincolnshire farmer, Keith has always been a very active
man and was frustrated by the slowness of his post-operative recovery. He set out to create a rehabilitation device that would enable a faster and less painful
recovery after lower limb surgery or injury. The result was the REDCAMTM. In 2004, Keith underwent two further Total Knee Replacements.
By using the REDCAMTM to aid his recovery, he felt it greatly facilitated his recovery.

Retired RAF Warrant Officer
"I had a complete left knee replacement on 16 December 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 REDCAMTM, I was achieving repetitions of 50, four times a day and rapidly increased this to 100, six times a day.
I was told that my progress was extraordinary and I can say with certainty that the REDCAMTM has been instrumental in my rapid recovery."
Ms Mary McNeish
SRN, DNT, 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 REDCAMTM my knee bent to the required 90 degrees. It is my opinion as a trained nurse that the REDCAMTM could have many other uses in healthcare."
Mr David Gale
FRCS Ed (Orth)
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon.
"The REDCAMTM 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 REDCAMTM is 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, portable and has no energy requirements other than patient power.
I thoroughly recommend the device."
