EBME Forums Forums Management Medical Equipment Management Pedal Exerciser

Hi

I've had a request from our Cardiac Rehab for a "Pedal Exerciser", basically a bike without handle bars or seat that can be used in clinic by a patient under going rehab. They would like some way to adjust the tension and maybe a counter or timer.

They found some on that well known supplier of quality Medical Equipment, Amazon! which I promptly sent back as the first line in the manual was "Not for Therapeutic Use".

So - anyone any idea where best to look - obviously I have tried Google to no avail - just basic home use stuff

Thanks in anticipation
Mick

There are other distributors, even more who provide servicing of devices. Speak with the Physioterrorists as they'll often now what is good and what is rubbish.

Like this one, you mean?

To be honest, in this case kit from both the Amazons of the world and the "well respected brands" (see above) appears - to my eyes at least - to be much of a muchness. In fact many appear to be identical, and almost certainly from the same OEM (in China, no doubt).

I wouldn't spend too much time on it; just follow whatever the Physios advise (and use themselves, even), as Dustcap suggests.

Thanks Dustcap and Geoff
