I am 70 years of age and have MS which mainly affects my lower extremeties. I have been unable to walk for the last 10 years. I have been in and out of rehab facilities the past eight years to build up and maintain muscle tone and use of my legs so I can maintain an independent lifestyle.  Last summer when I was in rehab I was introduced to the MOTOmed.  It was great to position my power chair in front of it and pedal away, giving my legs a good workout and being able to select my own speed and resistance level.  This was certainly superior to sitting in my chair and doing limited leg exercises . The passive mode feature is good for range of motion. 
 
My MOTOmed is strategically located adjacent to a TV and CD player so I can pedal while I watch or listen.  I try to pedal at least a mile at a time at least 4 or 5 times a day. The time goes by quickly and the exercise surpasses what one can do  just seated in chair.  I have had my machine since 11/08 and have been able to maintain my strength to come from sit-to-stand and pivot which is necessary for toileting needs.
 
My legs feel renewed after workout and I can certainly notice a marked difference in my efforts to stand after a workout.  It is easier and smoother.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I could cite other accolades but, hey, I've got to go pedal.  It's time for one of my favorite TV programs.
