Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Shawn found immense relief through the MyoCycle. Before routine FES cycling, Shawn faced the many challenges that can come with MS, such as muscle atrophy and bladder issues. His previously active life was marked by limitations in mobility and fear of tripping. He recalled, "Prior to my diagnosis of MS and treatment I was only able to walk less than 1,000 feet."

Shawn's introduction to Myolyn during physical therapy was a turning point in his life. 

His therapist suggested incorporating home FES cycling into his daily routine. After six months of consistent use, the MyoCycle brought about a remarkable transformation. An avid enjoyer of walks and traveling, Shawn found that the MyoCycle made these active pursuits more manageable. In Shawn's words, "I had very significant improvement in power. I was also able to walk community distances without fear of tripping"

The MyoCycle significantly improved my independence and overall quality of life.

The set-up process was not a hurdle in Shawn’s strength-building journey. He described the MYOLYN staff as "professional, helpful, and kind” and opted for virtual training sessions, which simplified the process. These sessions taught him how to use the MyoCycle to stimulate his core muscles, even those affected by some paralysis. This had a positive impact on his pain management and overall functionality.

The MyoCycle played a pivotal role in Shawn's strength-building journey and empowerment. Routine use helped extend his walking distance, and, most importantly, granted him a better quality of life.
