Improved Self Image and Muscle Mass

Meet Matthew Blosser! Matthew suffered a SCI at the T 12 L1 with multiple burst fractures on his vertebrae, resulting in incomplete paraplegia. Learn how the MyoCycle helped Matthew overcome some of the challenges that come with extreme muscle atrophy.
SCI at the T 12 L1 - incomplete paraplegia

Matthew's spinal cord injury caused spasms and extreme muscle atrophy—to the point where he was not able to move his left leg.

Matthew shared that his self image has improved, along with his muscle mass. "After just one use, I had muscle in my left leg quad that I was able to flex that was not there before, I had no flexion whatsoever in my leg, it was completely asleep." He noted that the bike has also helped with his metabolism, built up muscles in his bowel and bladder area, and improved sensations in his feet.

"I get the impression that the staff actually has a sincerity for my wellbeing."

Matthew described his experience with the MYOLYN staff as "positive and seamless." He shared that even on days when motivation is hard to come by due to his intense trauma, he will still get on his MyoCycle and that helps him get through the day.
