I was just wondering if anyone has an FES bike and if they could let me know if any function returned?
Thanks.

I have used the ERGYS fes bike for 19yrs since I was in the rehab center after becoming a C6-7 complete. I have used it 2-3 times a week to maintain muscle mass in the legs and butt and it reduces my leg spasms significantly. It also is a great cardio workout & i'm able to raise my heart-rate better than any other type of exercise. To answer your question- no it hasn't caused any return of function, but that's not it's purpose. Maintaining leg muscles and flexibility are absolutely important for that day when a cure is developed and nothing can do it like a fes bike.
Good luck

Thanks Brant.
I just have read soo many different things about the FES bike and I don't know what to believe anymore. I guess its really not about believing its about hoping.
