Thanks PN. It looks interesting.

Here's a quote from their website:

Quote:
The Quadriciser® originated out of the theory that exercising the muscles, ligaments, and heart through continuous, passive exercise could have a significant impact on any population that does not have the option of active exercise. The Quadriciser® has the potential to make a profound impact on the healthcare industry by providing a mechanism for significant improvement in the health of a large population of quadriplegics, paraplegics, dementia, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord and brain injury, stroke patients, and other disorders that involve neurological pathology.

Looks like a pretty involved contraption.

Interesting piece of equipment. I am sure it is a lot less money than a fes bike and not as good for cardiovascular and muscle building, but at least it is good for range of motion and keeping things moving. I feel this is important so that the legs and arms do not start losing range. Not really sure on the price on this.

The Video at the top of the page is very informative.

mountains to climb, your
soul dies".~Liz Fordred

Seneca,

If a picture says 1000 words, then a video says a Google!
