Meet Katie. She`s a MyoCycle Home user, and she rides 14 miles, four or five times a week.
"The MyoCycle is a great piece of equipment, and riding 14 miles 4-5 times a week makes me feel fabulous. This bike helps me stay healthy!"
That`s her routine, in her own words.

Help us celebrate Terry today ❤️
After his spinal cord injury, Terry faced painful spasms, muscle loss, and a lot of changes to everyday life. He`s kept showing up, staying active, and putting in the work. The MyoCycle has been one tool along the way.
Terry`s wife, Crystal, had this to say: "This bike has been life-changing for him. He has noticed that he is gaining inches in his thighs from stimulating his muscles. Terry has acquired muscular atrophy due to his injury over the years. This is quite exciting to him as his legs are looking more muscular!"
Terry, we`re proud of the progress you`ve made. Drop a ❤️ and help us cheer him on.

@madelinedelp spent years being told no on equipment she needed. Here she describes what changed in how she went after it.
"When I got older, I realized there`s always a creative solution. Sometimes you just have to look a little harder for it. … I`ve had so many issues in the past of not being able to have access to medical equipment that I really need because insurance would just not work with me."

Legs that go rigid without warning.
Spasticity is one of the secondary conditions people describe most often after a spinal cord injury: muscles that tighten on their own, jump, or lock, often at the worst possible moment, like during a transfer.
So what does FES cycling do about it? Relaxation of muscle spasms is one of the MyoCycle`s cleared indications, within a general rehabilitation program. During a session, the stimulation makes the leg muscles contract and relax in rhythm with the pedals. The labeling also advises stretching before use for severe spasticity.
What it doesn`t do is change the injury itself, or promise a result.

When people hear "spinal cord injury," accidents are often the first thing that comes to mind. But spinal cord injuries can also come from tumors, infections, blood flow problems, or other medical conditions. Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month is a chance to make space for every story, not just the ones people hear about most. 💙

@patricyoung4 played professional basketball before a car accident in 2021 left him paralyzed from the waist down. He runs a foundation that pays for the things insurance will not.
Here he compares an ankle sprain with an injury that never heals.
"You know, perspective is so key in every part of life."

Meet Rebecca. She`s a MyoCycle Home user, and this is how she describes the change:
"After I started using the MyoCycle, my muscle atrophy decreased and my ability to sit upright improved. When I use the MyoCycle, I do not have blood pressure problems."
An improved ability to sit upright isn`t a headline outcome, but in Rebecca`s story it`s what let her get back to painting and talking with friends. That is her experience, in her own words.

Yes! The MyoCycle can help move your legs for you. The motor assists with turning the pedals (or provides resistance), while electrical pulses tell your leg muscles when to contract. So even if you can`t move your legs on your own, the MyoCycle can still help you exercise them.
