Frequently asked questions - Tailwind for Stroke Rehab

The Tailwind is a very low-risk device that can be used safely by stroke survivors. Over years of clinical study and research, no one has been injured using the device.

You can use Tailwind anywhere! Just be sure to make sure your posture is correct as depicted in the training manual. You can use it the kitchen table or another table, or even standing up with the device on the kitchen counter. Anywhere you can get proper posture, you can use Tailwind.  

Improvements in arm function and range of motion achieved using the Tailwind are considered permanent.

You can use Tailwind as often as you like. We recommend using it for about 20 minutes per day, but you can use it more if you wish. Detailed instructions are included in the training manual and DVD provided with the Tailwind.

The Tailwind device is made from parts manufactured in many locations around the world, and it is assembled, packaged and mailed from Maryland.

As with any exercise program, always consult with your health care professional before beginning the Tailwind exercise program.

You should not experience pain using Tailwind. If you do, please consult with your training manual and DVD to ensure that you are using the proper posture. If you are still experiencing pain, please consult with your healthcare professional. Sometimes simple stretches will help reduce or eliminate any pain you may be feeling.
