hi, ray! i checked into the etrainer specs and, unfortunately, it does not get up to the rpms required for maximum benefit. the max rpms on the etrainer are given as 75. that's quite a bit less than what was being tested in the cleveland study :( Dr. Alberts chose to use motor-driven bicycles for his follow on VA and NIH funded Parkinson’s disease study involving forced exercise. The Theracycle motorized exercise bicycle has been identified as one of the few exercise devices able to replicate the 80 – 90 RPM needed for the Cleveland Clinic bike study ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rayilyn Brown" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2017 3:11 AM Subject: eTrainer passive assist/Trauti/Angelica > Trauti and Angelica > this is so much better than a Theracycle.
