Xiaomi has got several partners especially under its
ecological products category and one of such is Yunmai. The company is best
known for the Smart Weighing scale which has been one of the rapid selling
products released under Xiaomi’s crowdfunding platform. Yunmai has just
launched an exercise Powerball which comes with a 69 Yuan (US$ 10) price tag.
Powerball is perfect for the rehabilitation of
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs), Sprains, Breaks & Fractures and general
wrist strengthening. The device is also useful for the treatment of wrist pain
and other conditions that affect the wrist. The device is purely mechanical and
does not need any power, neither will any electromagnetic radiation be
produced. The use also extends to merely relieving stress and strengthening of
the muscle around the hands.
The Powerball has a rotor, also called green wheel,
which spins on its axis creating resistance against the user. This resistance
is created by the rotor as you turn your wrists which is known as gyroscopic
precision.
he faster the rotor spins the more resistance there is to the
user’s hand. This resistance is purely isometric which makes it ideal for
rehabilitation, exercise and wrist pain relief. The shell of the Yunmai wrist
exercise Powerball is made of polycarbonate material with a built-in aluminium
alloy plating core. It is highly stable and will not crack since the part of
the structure of the boot has been optimized to promote smoother and lower
noise. In addition, it has a built-in automatic elastic device as well as an
array of light which comes on as the device spins.
