It uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to make weak or paralyzed muscles contract so a person can perform therapeutic cycling exercise.
How it works:
- Sends small electrical pulses through skin-surface electrodes to activate muscles.
- Coordinates those contractions to produce smooth, controlled pedaling on a stationary cycle.
- Provides exercise for people with conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, MS, or cerebral palsy.
Why it matters:
- Helps maintain or improve muscle strength.
- Supports cardiovascular health.
- Promotes circulation and reduces muscle atrophy.
- Offers accessible therapy at home or in clinics.
