“Daily exercise with Combi Bike Plus improves my quality of life”

Claus Christian Gulmann, who has Parkinson's disease and spinal stenosis, exercises for at least 30 minutes every day with his Combi Bike Plus. As a result, his back pain is reduced, and he now has a better quality of life.

Professor of public law and former judge Claus Christian Gulmann, 80, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2017.

The Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurological diseases, according to the Parkinson’s Association. Important nerve cells in the brain are lost, and symptoms differ from person to person. People with Parkinson’s often have issues with their mobility, and your movements can become slow and sluggish.

Claus Christian Gulmann explains, that in his case his motor skills are gradually deteriorating.

– My body gets stiff. I don’t tremble like a lot of Parkinson’s patients do. I am in constant fear of falling, as my mobility worsens. Parkinson’s disease does not by itself result in pain, but I am in pain since I also have spinal stenosis, says Claus Christian Gulmann. The condition known as spinal stenosis causes the spinal canals to narrow, putting pressure on the nerves and potentially causing back pain and reduced mobility.

– I believe that using the Combi Bike Plus to exercise helps to reduce the pain and discomfort caused by both spinal stenosis and Parkinson’s disease, says Claus Christian Gulmann.

I like to be physically active - everyday

– I exercise once a day. Rarely less than half an hour, and quite often up to an hour. Staying physically active is good for you, according to knowledgeable people in the field, and I like to be physically active.

If you’ve had Parkinson’s for a while, like I have, you know that there is no cure, but daily exercise with Combi Bike Plus improves my quality of life, he says.

I exercise despite my Parkinsons

With Combi Bike Plus, the user may easily obtain 30 minutes of daily exercise, which would otherwise be impossible to get if you are in a wheelchair.

Hands and feet are used to make 360-degree simultaneous circular motions. The BEAT-Technology guarantees that the user has an even thread in the pedals, whereas ordinary exercise bikes have inconsistent motions.

The mobility exerciser is used by persons with severe paralysis, as well as a significant population of people with Parkinson's disease. The monitor shows kilometres, time, and speed, and you can adjust the resistance on a range of 0-9.

Exercising relieves pain caused by spinal stenosis

In order to create structure in his daily life, Claus Christian Gulmann exercises with Combi Bike Plus in the morning in the TV room.

– When I exercise with Combi Bike Plus, I sit in a comfortable chair and watch some “reasonable” television that can amuse me or maybe even teach me something. This way I can forget the pain I feel. I suffer back pain as a result of the spinal stenosis. I experience less pain when I use Combi Bike Plus for my exercises. My life is better because I exercise with Combi Bike Plus, says Claus Christian Gulmann.

– Using Combi Bike Plus is simple and comfortable. I bought the exerciser in 2020, and since then, we’ve had a great relationship, says Claus Christian Gulmann with a smile and continues:

– Combi Bike Plus has made me very happy, and Lemco Mobility has given me excellent service.
