Mini Pedal Exerciser for Rehabilitation
The best way to increase strength, circulation and coordination is with exercise machines - yet so often these can be heavy, massive, and difficult to operate. However, the Mini Pedal Exerciser for Rehabilitation uses a manual design to exercise both the upper and lower extremities - offering you the workout quality of electric alternatives at a fraction of the price. Easy to store under a chair or bed, this exerciser features a gear shift for customisable resistance levels, helping users get stronger from the comfort of their own home at a desk or in front of the TV.

Who Can Use the Pedal Exerciser?
For people who want to rehab injuries or get back to a minimum level of fitness before getting on a bicycle, this is an excellent solution. It’s also good for people with limited budgets who would like to cycle but just can’t afford it yet.
How Can the Pedal Exerciser Build Strength?
The pedal exerciser builds strength in both the lower and upper extremities, making this device great for rehabilitation at home or in medical spaces. Check out why with the bullet points below:
- Lower Extremities:
- Muscle Activation: This simple pedal design engages leg muscles, promoting quadriceps and hamstring contractions
- Joint Movement: The Mini Pedal allows for continuous cycling motion, enhancing knee and ankle joint flexibility
- Resistance Training: The gear allows for adjustable resistance levels enable progressive strength building in the lower limbs
- Upper Extremities:
- Arm Exercise: Placing the pedal exerciser on a tabletop facilitates arm cycling, activating shoulder and arm muscles
- Grip Strength: Holding onto the pedal cranks enhances grip strength and forearm muscles
- Range of Motion: Arm cycling promotes shoulder joint mobility and flexibility
How Does the Pedal Exerciser Improve Circulation?
The Mini Exerciser improves circulation by engaging the leg and arm muscles, promoting blood flow, and enhancing the efficiency of the cardiovascular system. The repetitive pedalling motion stimulates the muscles, which in turn increases blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products. This helps maintain vascular health and can be beneficial for individuals with sedentary lifestyles or mobility challenges.
How Can the Pedal Exerciser Increase Coordination?
This particular design improves coordination by engaging both lower and upper body muscles simultaneously, requiring synchronized movement and balance. This helps enhance neuromuscular coordination over time as the brain learns to coordinate muscle actions for smooth and efficient pedalling. This is helpful for rehabilitation after injury or for improving mobility more generally.
Where Can the Pedal Exerciser Be Used?
The lightweight, compact nature of the Pedal Exerciser means it can be used in a variety of spaces, often while doing everyday mundane activities. For examples of how this device can help, check out the below indications for use in both personal and professional spaces:
- Desk or Office: Under a desk while working
- Home: Near a couch or chair while watching TV
- Rehabilitation Centres: In physical therapy sessions
- Hospitals: Bedside for patients with limited mobility
- Nursing Homes: Common areas for residents
- Gym: As part of a seated workout routine
- Travel: Portable for use in hotels or on the go
