Adjustable resistance, hand grips, and height settings lets you customize your workout!
Neuro Rehab Benefits
Because GameCycle users match upper extremity movement to visual feedback from the videogame and because both arms must work in unison to control the game, there are a variety of neuromuscular reeducation and neuro rehab benefits including:
When exercise becomes as addictive as gaming, the benefits are comprehensive:
Better Endurance/Cardiovascular Fitness
Strength Training
Improved Range of Motion
Increased Core Stability
These benefits result in improved functioning in activities of daily living, increased self-esteem, and improved rehabilitation outcomes. And, your patients are having fun at the same time.
Improved Compliance
Having some fun during rehab and while you exercise means you will exercise more. The gaming challenge of the GameCycle encourages exercise and facilitates adherence to rehabilitation and exercise regimens in the clinic or at home.

Why the GameCycle?
The development of the GameCycle was funded by two grants from the National Institutes of Health. Why? Because there is a clear demand for an environment in which everyone -- people of all abilities -- are able and motivated to exercise. The GameCycle meets that demand by putting the fun back in fitness.
