Exerciser for wheelchair users with Incomplete Quadriplegia

Fitness with the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser for SCI bound to a wheelchair.

In the realm of spinal cord injuries, individuals with incomplete quadriplegia face unique challenges when it comes to maintaining an active lifestyle.

However, with the Danish designed and manufactured Combi Bike Plus Exerciser equipped with BEAT Technology, a new world of possibilities opens up.

This Danish-designed exerciser COMBI BIKE Plus  is designed to paraplegics among other disabilities, and tailored to empower quadriplegics with limited arm and leg mobility to engage in active exercise, promoting physical and mental well-being. Let’s delve into the remarkable benefits that this innovative equipment offers.

Benefits of Exercising with the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser:

  • Reduced Spasticity

Spasticity, a common issue among individuals with spinal cord injuries, can often be effectively managed through regular exercise. The Combi Bike Plus Exerciser, with its smooth and controlled movement facilitated by BEAT Technology, helps to reduce spasticity by gently stretching and relaxing the muscles. This promotes improved muscle tone and flexibility, leading to enhanced overall mobility.

  • Reduced Tonus

Tonus refers to the continuous contraction of muscles, often resulting in stiffness and discomfort. By engaging in regular exercise with the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser, many individuals can effectively reduce tonus. The combination of active movement and the assistance provided by all four limbs ensures a comprehensive workout, targeting various muscle groups and promoting relaxation.

  • Healthy Activity

Exercise is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle, and the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser enables individuals with incomplete quadriplegia to engage in regular physical activity. By incorporating this equipment into a daily routine, users can experience the numerous benefits associated with an active lifestyle, such as improved cardiovascular health, increased energy levels, and enhanced overall well-being.

  • Better Mood

    Regular exercise has been proven to have a positive impact on mental health. By using the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser, individuals can release endorphins, commonly known as “feel-good” hormones, which help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression. This uplifting effect can significantly improve mood and contribute to a more positive outlook on life.

  •  Increased Blood Circulation

The Combi Bike Plus Exerciser stimulates blood circulation throughout the body, including the legs. This increased blood flow helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to the muscles, promoting their health and aiding in the prevention of muscle atrophy. Furthermore, improved circulation can contribute to faster healing and reduced risk of complications.

    • Warmth in Legs

      The combination of active exercise and increased blood circulation generated by the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser can result in a pleasant warmth in the legs. This sensation not only provides physical comfort but also contributes to a sense of well-being and relaxation.

    • Reduced Risk of Blood Clot:

      Individuals with limited mobility, particularly people in wheelchairs, are at a higher risk of developing blood clots due to prolonged periods of inactivity. Regular exercise with the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser helps mitigate this risk by promoting blood flow and preventing the formation of blood clots in the legs.

 

  • Removal of Fluid from Legs

    Edema, or fluid retention, is a common issue for individuals with limited mobility. The Combi Bike Plus Exerciser aids in the removal of fluid from the legs through the combination of active exercise and increased blood circulation. This can alleviate discomfort, reduce swelling, and promote healthier legs.

Inspiring Benefits of the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser:

  • Exercise Daily instead of Weekly

    With the Combi Bike Plus Exerciser, individuals can break free from the constraints of limited exercise opportunities. This equipment empowers users to engage in daily

Surprisingly possible and easy –  for quadriplegic spinal cord injury wheelchair users. 

Until now, both therapists and individuals recovering from injuries believed that a motor was essential to facilitate leg movement in an exercise apparatus. Introducing BEAT Technology, a groundbreaking innovation that empowers even individuals with 100% paralyzed legs to engage in active exercise, including those with incomplete quadriplegia.

 

No motor required due to our high performance BEAT Technology

With BEAT Technology, users with limited strength can utilize their available force, and the technology seamlessly takes over where necessary, ensuring a remarkably smooth, satisfying, and health-promoting movement. BEAT Technology  allows for a 30-minute exercise routine, during which users can wear their regular clothing and adjust resistance levels as they build muscle.

Exercise for 30 minutes and get a whopping 3.600 stretches and bends of legs and arms. 

Engaging in a 30-minute session at 12 km/h (approximately one rotation per second) enables users to execute an impressive 3.600 bends and stretches of both their legs and arms. This constant movement prompts your brain to enhance communication with your muscles, surpassing the stimulation achievable by a therapist within the same time frame.
