Jway, thanks for the link!

Do you guys think this would work while sitting in a wc or would the footrest get in the way? (I have a fixed footrest)

Onward and Upward!

You can make a box to elevate it over your footrest. My son's chair has the swing around footrests so using the oxycycle is not too much trouble.

The following link is to a, imo, higher quality legerciser. It is the same as Albert uses in France. (except for the handle part, not shown).

Chris,
Forget the Oxycycle. I made footrests for my son out of aluminum, and it won't work thru his spasms. I have ordered the Thera model and I know this one will work thru spasms. You can increase the force that drives the pedals and also increase the number of reps. Live and learn.

regarding the Therafit leg exerciser: it does not appear (judging from the picture) to have any way to strap your feet into the pedals. Does anyone have any information about this? Thanks.

Bumping this up by request.

Onward and Upward!
