What are Swedish ladders used for?

The Swedish Ladder (also known as Stall Bars or Wall Bars) is a classic and versatile piece of equipment used in rehabilitation, fitness, therapy, and children’s motor development.

Designed to offer progressive motion exercises for the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. It’s a vertical ladder-like structure with rungs that patients use to perform controlled movements, gradually increasing the range of motion and resistance. This helps in rehabilitation from injuries, surgeries, or conditions like frozen shoulder, and also aids in improving fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
