With pleasure I would like to introduce to you our invention.
The BerkelBike, makes it possible for people with limitation, among others people with SCI, to ride a bike, using their arms and legs. The BerkelBike is a hybrid between a handbike and a recumbent bike and has been specially developed for people, who are dependent of a wheelchair. The BerkelBike is a unique bike because:
1) The movement of the legs and arms is combined
2) The muscles of the legs can be controlled by a software program that is installed in a small box on the bike. This enables people without any control over their leg muscles, as in spinal cord injuries, to train their legs and arms simultaneously and have a total body workout while biking in the open air
You can imagine that there are numerous of positive effects as a result of training with the BerkelBike:
· Increase of muscle mass in the legs
· Decrease of muscle spasms
· Increase of blood circulation in the legs improving tissue repair and lowering the risk of decubitus ulcers
· Prevention of diabetics and cardiovascular diseases
· Improved hormone levels resulting in an improved immune system and a higher energy level
· Growth of bone cells reducing the risk of fractures
· Improved mobility of the joints
· Improved digestion
· Improved quality of life, feeling fit
