and ERGYS
The ERGYS Rehabilitation System uses computerized functional electrical stimulation (CFES) to allow persons with little or no voluntary leg movement (e.g., SCI) to actively pedal a stationary leg-cycle ergometer. Computer generated, low-level electrical pulses transmitted through surface electrodes cause coordinated contractions of the large muscles of the legs. Sensors located in the ERGYS provide continuous feedback to a computer which controls the sequence of muscle contractions as well as the resistance to pedaling. The result is smooth and natural pedaling, with the rider’s leg muscles supplying the power. The benefits to this therapy include the prevention of muscle disuse atrophy, relaxation of muscle spasms, improved circulation, and increased range of motion. Clinical studies have also documented improvements to the cardiovascular system as well as other systemic benefits.: http://www.musclepower.com/
