As more rehabilitation shifts beyond hospitals and clinics into the home, patients and caregivers are asking an important question: Can professional rehab equipment actually be used safely and effectively at home? For individuals recovering from stroke, surgery, neurologic conditions, or prolonged inactivity, active-passive cycle trainers are increasingly being considered as part of home-based rehabilitation programs. […]
Rehabilitation clinics, long-term care homes, outpatient therapy centres, and hospital physio departments are increasingly recognizing the value of motor-assisted ergometers—often called active-passive cycle trainers—as core equipment for clients with limited mobility, neurologic conditions, post-operative needs, or deconditioning. But as with any major purchase, choosing the right device requires careful evaluation of clinical goals, client population, […]
Neurologic rehabilitation relies heavily on equipment that can safely support mobility, restore motor function, and stimulate circulation while accommodating significant physical limitations. Unlike orthopedic rehab—where clients may have a specific injury but intact motor control—neurologic conditions require tools that adapt to fluctuating strength, involuntary movement patterns, fatigue, and variable neural input. Active-passive cycle trainers, also […]
When someone experiences mobility loss—whether from stroke, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, or simply reduced physical activity—the road back can be daunting. Physiotherapists often emphasize the importance of repetitive movement, because movement is medicine for both the body and the brain. Active-Passive cycling delivers exactly that: rhythmic, low-impact exercise that engages muscles and stimulates neurological recovery, even […]
As Canada’s population ages, long-term care homes face increasing challenges in keeping residents active, engaged, and healthy. Traditional exercise programs often fall short for seniors with mobility limitations, neurological conditions, or low endurance. That’s where Active-Passive Cycle Therapy comes in—an adaptive form of exercise that meets residents where they are and provides benefits for both […]
