Vertiband

Vertiband is a transformative solution for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI), particularly targeting those with compromised hand dexterity and grip strength due to ulnar nerve damage. This impairment severely limits grip strength, rendering traditional exercise equipment like dumbbells and barbells unusable. Annually, around 17,000 people face life-altering spinal cord injuries, often leading to muscle atrophy and dependence due to limited exercise options. Vertiband, our innovative wearable workout device, is designed to restore independence, strength and confidence in such individuals.

This wearable velcro strap is the fourth iteration of the product which attaches seamlessly to any size dumbbell, enabling users with limited grip strength to use dumbbells for the first time while engaging in strength training. Vertiband is more than a product; it's a gateway to empowerment, enabling individuals to perform daily tasks independently and cherish moments like holding a loved one, which able-bodied individuals often take for granted.
