“ My observations of the ALENAX Systems bicycle were quite impressive. When I was the Executive Director of H.E.A.R.T., a cardiac rehabilitation and physical therapy center at New York Medical College, we used a ALENAX Systems “prototype model” to have patients who were unable to ride a normal bicycle with 360-degree excursion of the pedal, ride the TRB bicycle. I saw the impact and excitement of the individuals riding the bicycle. Something they could not do with a normal or stationary bike. These patients with limited range of motion in the hip, knee, and ankle were able to ride and exercise again.
The second impression was that post surgical knee patients were able to ride the bike (on a stand) immediately as they did not have to pedal in an arc that would put pressure on the knee.
Interestingly, when I used it myself found my fatigue was located in the belly of the thigh muscle and not in the insertions of the muscle (knee or hip). The ALENAX bicycle is a wonderful means of transportation and for leisure activity for someone with limited range of motion or arthritic hips, knees and ankles that enjoys bicycle riding.
