Bicycle: Propel Adaptive Cycling Pedal
Propel Adaptive Cycling Pedal I have multiple sclerosis. The disease inflicts neurological trauma and causes nerve-muscule fatigue. An MS attack will limit nerve conduction and in turn, limit muscle to-from engagement. Nerve fiber conduction has the same four conduction conditions, normal, resistive, open, and shorts as wired circuits. Open and shorted nerve fibers can exhibit a permanent disability. However, the brian's neuroplasticity can develop adaptive circuits. The Propel pedal began as an adaptive device as a workaround for my MS disability challenges to pedal the trike. However, the research and development to make the adaptive pedal discovered a new pedaling performance and methodology for all cyclists. I am a USMC veteran, 68-71. When an MS release prevented me from doing an upright bike mount, I petitioned the VA's Adaptive Sports Program for a recumbent trike. Before the VA would approve the trike purchase, I had to prove I could ride the trik...
