Crazy to think the summer is coming to an end. Where has the time gone? For those of you who live in the Northeast (like your Zeen Team), and anywhere else that experiences the HOT summer days, we're sure the cooling temperatures of the fall will be a welcome change. Now is the time to get that Zeen outside and enjoy the beautiful weather before cold sets in!

Meet Kim & Joe C. Kim received her Zeen in April this year and has been getting back to adventuring. Kim has cerebellar ataxia which makes walking and balance difficult. Check out her story and how the Zeen is allowing her to regain her independence.
Ready for more stationary exercises, Zeener? Included in this month's tips & tricks you'll learn how to complete marches (for hip and abdominal strengthening), posture training (improving your upright positioning), and single leg stance (for improved balance, and abdominal and buttock strength).
No, it is not loose. There is nothing to tighten or fix. "Why?" you might ask...
The function of the swivel of the Zeen seat is to allow for full hip extension when walking. When you are standing with most of your weight on your feet, and just a little support from the Zeen seat, we want you to be able to take a full step. This means your leg needs to move behind you into extension. The slight swivel of the seat allows this to happen, otherwise the entire Zeen would be wagging behind you like a tail!
Be sure to share this with your PT and others involved in your mobility training.
Do you know others who would like to learn more about the Zeen?
