The Super-Cycle Machine operates by securing feet onto footplates
that are joined to levers, moving the legs back and forth. The upper
portion of the machine remains stationary. The patient lies supine
with his/her feet resting on the footplates. Velcro straps secure
the patients feet. Hips, knees, and ankles are initially positioned
at an approximate 90 degree angle.
As the footplates move back and forth on the levers, the patients'
legs are extended to an approximate 30-45 degree angle.
The Super Cycle aids in hip and knee flexion. A therapist may
be needed to assist the patient by helping to keep his/her knees
from adducting together. A variable speed control mechanism allows
the therapist a selection in the number of revolutions the patient
will experience per minute. The speed can be reduced to as low as
one RPM. |
