36 ISE Magazine | www.iise.org/ISEmagazine Fitness designed for every body Eder said. "We could really do something big." Eder's initial goal to provide easily accessible fitness to peo- ple in various demographics evolved to include optimizing the value of care from a provider and payer standpoint – in his words, getting people healthier as quickly as possible for as long as possible and in the most efficient way. The technology enables rehabilitation for almost any muscle because the machine is loaded with hundreds of upper and lower body exercises available to anybody – whether seated, standing or perched in a wheelchair. When it comes to IncludeFitness, Eder said, "Some people are very interested in the inclusivity, some people are interested for the data and [for] some it's a combination." Eder decided to take on his business full-time in 2014 and since then has pre-sold units to inpatient and outpatient care facilities, universities, community centers and the Department of Veterans Affairs, which plans to install the equipment early this year. The Access Strength has a patented pulley configuration, a weight selection dial, integrated seating and adjustable handles.
