Madonna ICare
by Sports Art
The Madonna iCare is a motor assisted elliptical with body weight support that can help people with physical disabilities regain walking and fitness abilities. The iCare enables synchronous upper and lower limb movements similar to the natural walking pattern and clinically shown to improve muscle activation in the legs. Trainers can change the speed, resistance, body weight support, motor or non-motorized assistance, and stride length in order to accommodate nearly all individuals and ages with varying disabilities. A ramp is also included for easy setup access.
Published research on the Madonna iCare has demonstrated physiological improvements in individuals with stroke, SCI, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, Guillain-barré disease, and other neurological or physical impairments.
