Electric Exercise Pedals

Rehabilitation specialists work daily with seniors’ residences as part of a falls prevention program to prevent and reduce the risk of injuries that can occur among this higher-risk population.

The acquisition of three electric exercise pedals for the Outaouais’s CHSLD nursing homes will provide staff with an additional tool to strengthen the users’ leg muscles and improve their mobility. These devices are designed specifically for users with limited lower body mobility and the strength can be adjusted to adapt to the user’s evolution as part of their rehabilitation program.

Potential benefits for users

  • • Prevention and reduction of joint, tendon and muscle atrophy;
  • • Maintaining flexibility;
  • • Relief of pain and stiffness;
  • • Increased bowel/bladder function and control;
  • • Decrease in spasms and tremors;
  • • Decrease in edema;
  • • Improved blood flow.

Although several measures are already in place to promote exercise, the rehabilitation team needs specialized tools to develop the walking and exercise program and achieve better results in maintaining seniors’ independence and preventing falls.
