Enable early mobility and safer recovery bedside, in hospitals, rehab centers, and homecare with Armedica™ foldable, transportable parallel bars.
Every year, patient falls and clinician-related injuries cost the U.S. healthcare system over $34 billion. A major contributor to this crisis is the physical strain placed on healthcare professionals during manual therapy, transfers, and lifting. At the same time, more than 90 million physical therapy sessions are missed annually due to limited access, leading to prolonged hospital stays, increased complications, and rising costs. The need for safer, more accessible rehabilitation tools has never been greater.
Armedica™ Portable Parallel Bars offer a proven solution. This FDA Class 1-exempt device is designed for early mobility and Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (“SPHM”) protocol alignment. It folds in under one minute, features 3″ locking wheels for effortless mobility, and supports up to 600 lbs. Adjustable in height and width, it accommodates both pediatric and adult patients, empowering clinicians to provide safe, effective standing, balance, and gait training, right at the bedside, in-room, or at home.
Developed by Clinicians for Clinicians
When patients can't access the rehabilitation gym, Armedica™’s Portable Parallel Bars on wheels bring therapy directly to the bedside, in-room, or home setting. Developed in collaboration with VHA iNet Specialists, this innovative mobile rehab tool supports early mobilization protocols and helps reduce the physical strain on healthcare providers, all while enhancing patient safety and outcomes.
According to NIH studies, initiating physical therapy just 24 hours earlier can significantly shorten hospital stays and reduce the need for post-discharge therapy by up to 29%. Designed for use in hospitals, inpatient rehab centers, skilled nursing facilities, and homecare environments, the Portable Parallel Bars help providers improve productivity and meet clinical benchmarks, without sacrificing patient-centered care. This versatile solution conserves patient energy and prioritizes one-on-one therapy sessions, where it matters most.

Parallel bars are a cornerstone of physical rehabilitation, critical for promoting independent weight bearing, early ambulation, and improved patient outcomes. Traditional transfer techniques, such as stand-pivot transfers, often require multiple staff members and carry increased risk. Armedica™’s FDA-registered Portable Parallel Bars offer a safe, efficient alternative by providing stable, adjustable support directly at the patient’s bedside or in-room setting.
Built with hardworking therapists in mind, these mobile parallel bars reduce staff strain while promoting faster muscle recovery and increased patient satisfaction. Ideal for use in diverse clinical settings, they support treatment protocols for pediatric therapy, stroke rehabilitation, amputee mobility, neurological recovery, and spine and sports therapy. Designed to align with national patient safety goals, Armedica™’s Portable Parallel Bars help providers deliver high-quality therapy earlier in the recovery process, where it matters most.
Armedica™’s Portable Parallel Bars are trusted across a wide range of disciplines and treatment settings.
