Accessory Spotlight
Pedal Radius Quick Adjustment
Item #507
 
RECK has improved on the pedal radius quick adjustment!  They now come with knob screws so you no longer need an Allen key to make adjustments.
 
Features:
  • Use if frequent changes of the pedal radius are necessary.
  • For quicker adjustment of the pedal radius without tools to adjust the extent of motion to the individual's joint mobility and to the varying heights of patients.
  • Adjustable in 4 levels which guarantees precise matching on both sides.
  • Recommended for patients with joint stiffening and spasms.

Message from Germany
Many hypertensive patients are limited in finding ways to fight hypertension.  A recent study shows that MOTOmed arm cycling reduces blood pressure and offers a great training alternative "despite having coxarthrosis, gonarthrosis, or intermittent claudication."

To find out more or to receive the full text version of the study, The Cardiovascular Effects of Upper-limb Aerobic Exercise in Hypertensive Patients, please contact Irma Handzic (irma@motomed.com).
Community Involvement
At Ri, LLC we take pride in the communities we live in.  We look for ways to serve our communities to help them grow and flourish.  This past winter, Laura Raigoza volunteered as a soccer coach for the Wesley Chapel Athletic Association.  She coached her son's U8 soccer team.  They had a very successful season!  Laura stated, "This opportunity was a great way to work with kids and foster family and community growth.  I think learned more from the kids then they did from me!  It was a great season!"

Stretch Stick - Exercise of the Month  
Stretch Stick provides many uses and benefits through exercises
that stimulate the core muscles and stretch tight muscles.  This
increases the blood flow to the muscle and its connective tissues.
 
Exercise of the Month: Basic Core Strength Exercise

Stretch Stick
 
Draw your belly button in, continue to breathe.  Gently push your arms forward creating tension, pushing your lower back against Stretch Stick.  Keep that tension as you move toward your left shifting your bodyweight to the left leg.  Count to twenty return to beginning stance and repeat on the other side.  Repeat as desired.
