Virtual FES Cycling with the MyoCycle

Request More Info

Exercise, therapy, and rehabilitation should be fun.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Zwift to bring fully immersive 3D virtual cycling to the MyoCycle V2! The MyoCycle is the first and only FES cycling system to bring this game-changing experience to neuro-rehab.

  • Explore immersive 3D worlds
  • On-demand workouts and structured plans
  • Ride with friends in real-time
  • Drive therapy results by completing challenges

Not only is virtual cycling with the MyoCycle and Zwift fun and a good way to connect with other MyoCycle users, but it can also help improve rehabilitation outcomes by keeping you engaged and motivated. Ride alongside other Zwifters through immersive worlds to complete challenges and earn badges, all while getting therapeutic exercise.

If you already have the MyoCycle V2, simply follow the instructions below to start using Zwift today. If you’re considering starting a home FES cycling program, contact our team today to see if FES cycling therapy with the MyoCycle and Zwift can help you achieve your goals!
