Case Study One

Mr X of Durham is a 24-year-old male who writes 3 years after his accident, which left him with a complete spinal cord lesion.  He has been using a RehaMove for Arms and Legs with the Smart Card data logging option.  He initially started to use a RehaMove for legs and then upgraded to a combined system with Smart Card when this became available. He has 18 months experience with the system.

Mr X was very keen on exercise before his accident, playing rugby twice per week and working out in the gym for 4 to five sessions per week.  By adopting a RehaMove, Mr X's motives were - "To keep fit, increase muscle bulk without increasing fat and keeping strong in case of a cure"

As quite a busy individual, Mr X, like everyone else, has to find a way to fit training into his routine. In a typical week he works his legs for three, 40-minute sessions and his arms twice for 30mins.  When free from the pressures of work Mr X works his legs five days per week for 40min and his arms three to four times a week for 30 minutes a session.

Mr X says "By doing your legs first thing before you shower you can incorporate a workout into you morning routine so it seems less of a chore"

Interestingly, when we asked our clients to tell us how they exercise 75% of them reported that they have used the system more than they expected before purchase. We asked - "How did you find getting used to the system?"

Mr X replies "Difficult at first, it took about 3 weeks to "crack it" but I think the new instructions are much improved."
We asked  "What have you noticed since using the system?"

He replies, "Definitely increased muscle bulk! It's hard for me to gauge cardiovascular fitness but I feel like I'm fitter"
