OrthoBike Hero Rentals: A unique therapeutic equipment rental offering that allows you to receive cash payments while it gives your patients a home exercise program that they will do.

OrthoBike Applications
- Cycling exercise immediately following TKA, THA, ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy.
- Prehab and cycling exercise to strengthen knees and improve balance and gait (seniors).
- Reduction of contracture and arthrofibrosis (“intermittent loading in end range of motion changes soft tissue over time”—Robin McKenzie, MDT principle)
- Cycling exercise at limited ROM for non-surgical treatment of torn meniscus, OA, and RA.
- As an adjunct mechanical modality in the clinic that gives your patients repetitive motion.
Cycling therapy earlier in rehab? Like the day after surgery? Yes!
Published science confirms what OrthoBike clinicians have learned...patients with limited knee ROM can get vital cycling therapy without pain early in rehab.
The science: a brief literature review of cycle ergometry utilizing short- and variable-length pedal cranks.
