Here Matt Wesley is riding his functional electrical stimulation bike or FES bike. Electrodes are hooked up to Wesleys quads (thighs), hamstrings (under leg) and glutes (butt). The electrodes send a shock to the muscles making them contract. The FES bikes computer coordinates these shocks into a bike rhythm. Using an FES bike helps prevent atrophy and the RTI 300 also has settings which allow you to add resistance and thus strengthen your legs. The RTI 300 continually takes readings and adjusts the amount of stimulation and resistance for optimum progress. These recordings are also sent wirelessly to restorative therapies website, so that you and your physician can monitor your progress and make adjustments if need be.
Restorative therapies manufactures this bike.
