ICARE – Intelligently Controlled Assistive Rehabilitation Elliptical
This piece of equipment differs from a typical gym elliptical machine by allowing individuals
with varying disabilities the opportunity to stand and take strides safely. A harness is used to
support the individual while increasing or decreasing the amount of weight that goes into the
feet. The ICARE offers the option to exercise with different degrees of motor assistance. The
ICARE can be used as a typical elliptical or set to move an individuals legs when the motor
senses muscle fatigue. It can also be set in automatic mode for those with complete paralysis.
