MotoLife EVO Active Passive Assistive Trainer

Active & Assisted Training

The Assisted Training setting automatically adjusts the resistance given by the pedals, creating a heavier or lighter exercise based on the level of force exerted.

In real time the MotoLIFE LCD screen will display the active work performed by each limb separately so you can easily monitor symmetry.  Automatically adjusting resistance can increase the work of the muscles and the benefits of cardiovascular exercise.

Active Training assists a person in relearning how to perform the cycling motion.

Pedalling without any assistance from the motor is commonly used when neural pathways to the brain have been damaged.

There are numerous safety features and accessories available.

Accessibility

The minimum requirement to use the MotoLife is that the user is capable of keeping an upright position while sitting.  It is possible to access to it while still sitting on the patient’s chair or any other suitable chair, which must be very stable without castors and which does not swivel.  It must have a high backrest.

The arrangement of the pedals and of the arm-ergometer as well as the elements for the base have been designed to allow access directly from the patient’s wheelchair without having to transfer to any other chair.  A power-assisted system helps the positioning of the feet on the safety foot shells.

Safety

Inbuilt safety controls detect muscular spasms.  If a spasm occurs, the system will interrupt the session and reverse the direction of the pedalling to ease the spasm.  The spasm will also be recorded by the onboard memory and detailed in the report.

MotoLife is ideal for people with limited or zero mobility of the feet.  The electric system helps position the feet whilst pedals hold them in place, two elastic straps secure the feet safely and comfortably.  Additional leg supports are also available.

If training legs only, the handlebars can be moved to avoid hindering movement.  Accessories that mitigate wheelchair movement/tipping and provide additional support for the arms are also available.

Adjustment

• Adjustable Height & Length Upper Body Trainer
• Adjustable Length Arm Cranks
• Adjustable Length Leg Cranks

Adjustment positions can be recorded against each user’s account in the software allowing ease of accurate comparisons from one therapy to another.

Software

The easy-to-use software has been designed to encourage training. The motivating prompts and interactive sliding screens can be turned on/off during each session.

MotoLife’s uses game-therapy to encourage training. Two games assist with symmetry and balance and a third focuses on pedaling speed.
