This technique considered as FES (functional electrical stimulation) tricycling has been developed by teams from University College London (UCL) andrepparttar University of Glasgow. FES involves stimulating paralyzed muscles by passing short pulses of current through electrodes onrepparttar 113920 skin. A stimulator synchronizesrepparttar 113921 stimulation withrepparttar 113922 pedal position whilerepparttar 113923 person has a 'throttle' to control how much stimulation is applied - rather like a motor bike withrepparttar 113924 legs asrepparttar 113925 engine.

Within a year, we should be expectingrepparttar 113926 availability of this device, dubbed asrepparttar 113927 ‘recumbent tricycle’. Professor Nick Donaldson, one ofrepparttar 113928 members ofrepparttar 113929 team said that this device will help getrepparttar 113930 impaired people back into exercising safely. This will do them a lot of good since these disabled persons may not be open torepparttar 113931 option of exercising, yet. The only current way being applied to wheelchair-bound persons’ in order to exerciserepparttar 113932 paralyzed muscles is by electrical stimulation. But it was not much fun to just stimulaterepparttar 113933 muscles during special sessions.

Thus in developingrepparttar 113934 bike,repparttar 113935 team was to create a system where wheelchair athletes can use from home and will be fun to use. The new tricycle can be used at home to trainrepparttar 113936 muscles while stationary, or for recreation outdoors.
