Parkinson’s Disease

For people living with Parkinson’s disease, motorized range-of-motion therapy can provide regular, supported movement when bradykinesia, stiffness, tremor, reduced balance, or fatigue make voluntary exercise harder. The research shown suggests that cycling-based exercise may support motor function, posture and gait, cardiovascular fitness, balance, and tremor management, with dynamic assisted cycling potentially producing greater motor-function gains than passive movement alone. Ex N’ Flex allows users to begin with passive movement when needed and contribute as able through active-assist exercise, helping maintain mobility and consistency as part of an ongoing Parkinson’s management routine alongside clinician-guided care.

Studies and White Papers:

 

  • Dynamic high-cadence cycling improves motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. These findings show that dynamic cycling can improve PD motor function an d that activation of proprioceptors with a high cadence but variable pattern may be important for motor improvements in PD. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4557094
