hey all, i just got my uppertone a few weeks ago...and i tell you, this is the best thing a c5, c6, c7 could buy, hell maybe even a c3 c4 and 5. i shoped around for a while and the cheapest one i could find was 2,500 on planet mobility. anyway, im already seeig results. my biceps triceps, an traps a getting stronger and more moblie....as well as my lats and deltas. so if you want a great cardio, lighit weights and a TON of reps, or grt a bike. but as far as building muscle, the uppertone is great!

I got an Uppertone back in 1997 and like you, could see the results happening quite quickly. I haven't used it for nearly 2 years now because of different reasons. However, I am getting it back shortly so will be using it once again. I totally agree with you, this piece of equipment was one of the best items any tetraplegic could own. Very expensive, but in my opinion, worth every penny

Have one too. Awesome machine! 16 different exercises. Best investment I've made. Recomended for any quad with or C5 or lower with or without tricep function. You can do all setup by yourself...chang weight resistance by slidding adjistments,,,change hights. Independence makes the workout worthwhile.

I have use them, Bloody briliant. Buy one tomorrow if i could afford it, in Australia they are worth 7-8 K last time i looked. if you can afford it. Get It no regrets, if you own 1 use it. NO EXCUSE, go light if you have to, USE IT.

I live with 4 meters of rain over 6 months of the year, exersize is hard to get without equipment like that.
