Recumbent Cycle
Generously donated by the Lions Club Durban (Host). The Recumbent Cycle is
an example of new age gym equipment being put to good use in a rehabilitative
environment.
The Recumbent Cycle offers a secure seating position by means of a wide seat
and supportive handle bars on each side. Patients who would not normally be able
access a convention upright cycle are able to access the recumbent cycle
more easily due to it being lower to the ground.
The extended seating position offers a more balanced and stable ride allowing
patients with varying abilities to peddle more easily without the far of falling.
The heads up display monitors the patient’s progress and can even read a patients
heart rate where applicable.
