My Parkinson's Info is pleased to have Theracycle as a sponsor, because it is such an effective activity for people living with Parkinson's disease. We are also thrilled about the safety profile of the Theracycle. The engineers designed it to help people avoid the risk of falls, strains, sprains, and collisions.
Some of the Theracycle's safety features include:
- A large, accommodating seat and supportive backrest
- Sturdy handlebars with choice of many positions
- An open step-through area to make getting on and off the bicycle easy and safe
- A safety shut off
- An extra wide base for maximum stability
Because the Theracycle is easy to get onto, people who use walkers, wheelchairs, and other assistive devices can easily transfer to the Theracycle. The Theracycle provides a satisfying, whole-body workout.
First, the Theracycle helps riders get the cardiovascular workout they need to keep their heart and circulatory system healthy. Second, the arm and leg movement rejuvenate muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the extremities. Finally, coordinating the motions between the arms and legs works the abdomen, chest, and back, increasing strength and mobility.
However, we would do you a disservice if we overlooked the greatest benefit of exercise—you feel great! We encourage you to enhance your current workout, or start working out with the Theracycle. Related Articles
