The present invention relates to a rehabilitation device adapted for rehabilitating and/or exercising the shoulder region, as well as to the use of such a rehabilitation device. The rehabilitation device has support elements () enabling the upright position of the upper body during the exercise, two motion shafts () guiding the motion in a pre-defined direction of motion, and two handleless arm supports () attached to the end of each motion shaft and arranged to support the arms of the user, preventing activation of the muscles carrying the arm.

Rehabilitation device and its use for exercising the shoulder region

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation device adapted for rehabilitating and/or exercising the shoulder region of a user, as well as to the use of such a rehabilitation device. The device enables an upright position of the upper body during the exercise, and shoulder supports holding the shoulder position of the user stationary during the exercise, in order to direct the muscle activation precisely into the small muscles of the shoulder region.

A method of manufacturing a cellulose-based shaped article. The method comprises subjecting a solution of lignocellulosic material, dissolved in a distillable ionic liquid, to a spinning method, wherein the ionic liquid is a diazabicyclononene (DBN)-based ionic liquid. DBN-based ionic liquids have good dissolution power, high thermal and chemical stability, lack runaway reactions and exhibit low energy consumption, due to low spinning temperatures. The shaped cellulose articles can be used as textile fibers, high-end non-woven fibers, technical fibers, films for packaging, and barriers films in batteries, as membranes and as carbon-fiber precursors.
