Therapy Motions - Model eVO -Motor-Assisted Reciprocating Arms and Legs Action Therapy Cycle

The eVO System is a new and energizing approach to physical therapy and exercise equipment. Unlike traditional exercise bikes that require you to generate the power to operate them, the eVO is designed to deliver the benefits of full-body exercise to individuals who may or may not be able to operate a piece of exercise equipment on their own. It moves you, and as a result you gain the benefits of exercise when you need them the most.

The eVO is much more than a stationary bike, it is motor-assisted cycle that accommodates the user’s level of physical function and provides the duration and type of therapy prescribed by physicians, rehabilitation and therapy specialists. It is also the only motorized cycle on the market today that provides a reciprocating full-body motion to the user, distinguishing it apart from anything else available. Why is that important? Your brain is wired for cross-patterning functions (think of a baby crawling; left leg/right arm, right leg/left arm), the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body and vice versa. After extended periods of time with an illness or physical inactivity your brain begins to conserve energy and some of this cross-functional capability may be compromised.

This is where the eVO’s difference matters. The eVO moves the user’s arms and legs in a coordinated “cross-patterning” alternating arm/leg movement using a smooth and effective motion, exercising both upper and lower extremities simultaneously resulting in improved coordination and alertness, and stimulating brain function.

The eVO is based upon innovative motorized technology to effectively provide physical and rehabilitative therapy to both the upper and lower extremities simultaneously. The motor-assisted eVO allows the user to progress to increased levels of function at his/her own pace building muscle, tone, flexibility, coordination and stamina.
     
People who benefit from using the eVO System fall into 4 categories:

1. Those who want to regain strength and use of their arms and legs People affected by: Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injuries, Cardiac Surgery, Hip and Knee Replacement
2. Those who want maintenance exercises to sustain musculature strength and stamina People affected by: Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Aging, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Lung Disease
3. Those who need prevention therapy to ward off spasticity and permanent constriction of their arms and legs People affected by: Cerebral Palsy
4. Those who simply need an effective low-impact full-body exercise People affected by: Aging or obesity      

The scientific-proven basis behind the eVO System is known as "Continuous Passive Motion", or "CPM". CPM is the movement of a joint or extremity (by an external device) through a range of motion without voluntary movement of the limb. This process reduces the inflammation of the affected joint and tissue site after a period of time. Clinical experiments have shown that the use of CPM equipment promotes healing, decreases pain and edema, and improves range of motion.
