PNEU-MAP A posture gauge designed to graphically replicate the curve of the spine. The patient stands in front of the Pneu-MAP, a small wheel rolls down the back duplicating on a grid the spinal curve. Points on the grid entered into an Analysis Program translate the curve to a printout graph that compares the Mapped spinal curve to the normal curve. The printout includes exercise protocols for helping to correct deviations from the normal curve.

PNEU-BACK CHAIR-A pneumatic resistance exercise chair that restricts the use of stomach and leg muscles. The patient sits on the chair, at the direction of the clinician who is guided by the Pneu-MAP protocols, and pushes back in small controlled exercises. These little pushes train the muscles along the spine making them stronger and able to support the body the way it was designed. The result of this exercising can literally pull the spine into the correct posture.

PNEU-WEIGHT An offloading device with one, two or three stations that allow the patient to perform low-impact kinetic exercises in an upright functional position.
The space under each station is wide enough give you the option to incorporate different pieces of equipment such as the Pneu-Back Chair, a treadmill, stationary bike, stair-stepper etc... A feature only on the Pneu-Weight is the balance mode, if a patient were to lose their balance; their body would be supported and will only be let down about six inches, thus avoiding re-injury resulting from a fall. Activities such as walking, running, stair climbing, jumping and balance may all be performed safely in an unweighted condition with 360° range and a 300 lb lift.

PNEU-VEST comes in three versions each designed for a specific use, but all sharing the same capabilities for gait correction and worry free unweighted activities. This harness fits the patient like a snug vest with a strap positioned on the buttocks. It allows the patient to exercise in an upright, controlled and safe position. Effectively griping the body to support part of the patients weight. We find it is more comfortable, allows for a more normal rib and diaphragm interaction, stays in place better. Unisex design fits both male and female equally well, and elastic gait straps can be attached to the legs to assist in gait correction.

Pneu-Vest Scoliosis
The design of the Pneu-Scoliosis Vest allows us to be considerably more aggressive and effective in working with scoliosis patients. It gives us the ability to utilize specific vertebral level lateral forces (right or left) in conjunction with our scoliosis program.

Pneu-Vest Sport
The same design as the vectors without the adjustable back strapping feature. Persons doing fitness or sports training find this to be the vest of choice.

Manufacturing Process 

All Pneumex equipment presently in production and items in development were designed by Gerry Cook, Engineer and owner.   Specifications are generated on a computer generated mechanical design program.  These drawings are sent to the machine fabricators and the steel is fabricated according to the exact specifications in the drawings.  The fabricated steel is quality checked before leaving the machine facility.  The fabricated steel is sent to powder coating, where it is sandblasted, then electrolstaticly coated with Titanium Dioxide and Silica, amorphous, then cured at 400º for 20 to 30 minutes.

The machined and coated pieces are assembled at our facility in Sandpoint, Idaho into designated equipment.  Each piece of finished equipment is tested before it leaves the assembly area.  The finished equipment is cleaned and then transferred to the packing area where the equipment is re-tested,and checked for overall appearance and function; if for any reason the equipment does not perform as intended it is returned to assembly for adjustment. 

The tested equipment is broken down into components for shipping.  Each component is carefully wrapped and placed in shipping cartons. The carton content is checked against a packing list to assure that each carton contains the correct parts. The outside of the carton has a packing list (with a check off list of each item packed) and the serial number of the equipment inside.
