The MOVAO

09/20/2026

Created at the bedside,not in a boardroom.

The history of the MOVAO Bari began in 1999, when physical therapist Dr. Darin Trees built an early bedside prototype using PVC, plywood, and a simple idea: patients with profound weakness needed a way to begin strengthening before they could safely stand.

Nearly three decades of ICU and rehabilitation experience helped transform that early concept into today’s MOVAO Bari, a gravity-reduced, progressive leg-press system designed for patients unable to stand with their full body weight.

The technology has evolved, but the purpose remains the same: helping patients rebuild strength and bridge the gap between severe weakness and functional mobility.

Invented and built in the USA.

In 2013, Dr. Darin Trees and colleagues published a 4-Phase Graded Mobility Program describing a progressive approach to mobility for critically ill patients.

For patients with profound leg weakness, the first step toward walking isn’t always standing. Patients may need to rebuild lower-extremity strength before they can safely support their full body weight.

That clinical principle helped shape the MOVAO Bari.

Through gravity-reduced, progressive leg strengthening, MOVAO Bari provides a bridge from severe weakness to supported standing, gait training, and ultimately greater functional independence.

Strengthening → Standing → Walking

For those with severe weakness.

A long workday does not have to mean a completely inactive day. The MOVAO Under-Desk Bike makes it easier to add gentle movement while working, reading, or watching television. Start with a comfortable resistance, sit tall, and build a routine you can repeat. Consistency matters more than perfection.
