Hello friends and family.
We are starting a gofundme to raise money for a MyoCycle FES bike for Randy to be able to use at home daily, he is getting stronger everyday and needs to kick up his therapy with home workouts as well as continuing REACT. This was the most suggested item he needs to use daily for so many health reasons (see below).
Here is some information below as to what it is and how it helps! We ask that you pray and help as God leads you to.
Thank you so much!

THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE AT HOME
MYOLYN uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to empower you to achieve therapeutic exercise and functional outcomes, despite muscle weakness or paralysis caused by disorders like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. FES works by using small amounts of electricity to help muscles contract and produce functional movements.
PROVEN
The MyoCycle Home is FDA cleared to prevent muscle atrophy, reduce spasms, increase blood flow, and increase range of motion. The MyoCycle Home’s advanced automatic calibration system delivers the level of resistance or assistance that is right for you so you get the best workout possible. MYOLYN also works closely with your medical team to ensure that you are progressing toward your therapy goals.
ENGAGING
With the MyoCycle, you can actually see your legs moving and muscles contracting! With continued use, you will see your muscles grow stronger. The MyoCycle saves your workout data to the cloud and gives you weekly progress reports, allowing you and your team to track your weekly performance and celebrate your progress! It’s an engaging physical activity that will make you look forward to exercising.
BENEFITS OF FES CYCLING
Decades of research have shown that FES cycling has many life-changing benefits. FES technology paired with isokinetic cycling can be used to help people with neurological disorders like spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and more. The FDA-cleared benefits of FES cycling include:
- Prevention of disuse atrophy
- Maintaining or increasing range of motion
- Increasing local blood circulation
- Relaxation of muscle spasms
Additionally, research shows that some patients can improve their function, increase their strength, increase bone density, improve cardiovascular health, and more. Beyond the physical benefits, FES cycling improves mental and emotional well-being by empowering users to move their legs again with their own leg muscles.
