Guest guest Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Dave, I highly recommend the NuStep machines. These are recumbent stepping machines which are much more comfortable than a bike. These are much more versatile for a wider range of patients than a bike as well. Patients love them! Google Nustep and check them out. (i'm not a paid spokesperson!) Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 We use the SciFit recumbent bike with upper body handles. They also have a recumbent stepper with elliptical type handles. Both have removable seats to accommodate a wheelchair.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hiten: I've had one of these in my clinic since 2006. Pretty reliable. Easy to get replacement parts. Easy to replace those parts. Very easy for patients to mount - no step-over required. I bought mine at a local gym equipment store. http://www.fitdir.com/sportsarta-c530r-recumbent.html Good luck.
