Want and need more exercise but facing the challenges of being wheelchair-bound or limited mobility due to Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, obesity, or other movement disorders? The Theracycle 100 Leg Exerciser Fitness Bicycle can help you obtain a healthy workout while sitting in a chair or wheelchair. Unlike traditional stationary bikes and other leg exercise equipment, Theracycle 100 takes the strain off your joints and muscles with a motorized technology that assists you through the cycling motion so you can continue to move your legs.
“We have been using the Theracycle 100 in this rehab facility since March of 2007 with numerous success stories. We have been able to incorporate its use into a variety of diagnosis from total knee replacements to Alzheimer’s dementia patients. The uses are limitless. Just a few of the treatment diagnosis that have benefited are TKR, hip fractures, COPD, MS, contractures, cancer, pneumonia, CVA/TIA, and s/p surgeries. We have found a strong use in this facility for patients who have difficulty normal self pedaling machines. Patients enjoy the ability to 'bike' on the Theracycle 100, whether benefiting from the passive or resistive element. The variety of options, positions, and attachments offered with the Theracycle 100 allows you to adapt its fit to most patients and not have to worry about constantly checking to see if they are still properly positioned. During this time frame, we have had many patients request specifically to 'go on' the Theracycle 100 during their treatment session, ask to come use it at times outside of their regular treatment schedule and even enquire about purchasing a unit for their own home use. We have had no mechanical issues with the Theracycle 100 during the months that we have used it and it is very easy to operate. The Theracycle 100 has been a welcome addition in the Rehab Department for the therapists in complimenting their treatment, but most importantly to the patients who have progressed with its use to reach their goals.”
