About the solution

About a year ago I invented an exercise bike that allows wheelchair users to move their legs with the help of their arms. Also, seniors can use it to do simulated walking exercises.

About the author

I'm a Realtor. About a year ago I invented an exercise bike for a friend who became paraplegic after being shot in the back during a robbery. He had been in bed for twelve years without ever moving his legs. He suffered from depression, insomnia, poor circulation in his legs and only had physiological needs once a week and he had a lot of back pain. After starting exercise, all symptoms improved. There was a significant improvement in his quality of life. For the elderly, the same may occur. I try to make the solution known.
