How the Flexiciser Works - The Flexiciser is a motorized "Physical Movement Therapy Device" (PMTD) designed specifically for wheelchair users. If you have limited body movement, alternative methods of active fitness and body motion are a must in order to maintain good health. You can utilize the Flexiciser's unique PMTD functions directly from their own power or manual wheelchair.
To exercise, you simply wheel up to the Flexiciser, secure your feet to the pedals, and then hold on to the handlebars. A simple switch turns on the unit's PMTD motor, and then you experience the powered movement of your arms & legs simultaneously in a natural stride motion. It provides a thorough range-of-motion without any excessive weight-bearing on your joints. Your arms, legs and trunk can be moved in three different modes in a smooth, steady and coordinated motion. The Flexiciser exercise modes include:
- ACTIVE - You exercise along with the powered motor in coordinated arm & leg motion.
- PASSIVE - The power motor moves each limb in a natural stride range-of-motion.
- RESISTIVE - You exercise against the powered motor for isometric strength training.
