Ironman Rock'n'Roll

By David VanderVeer

We enjoyed participating in the San Diego Rock'n'Roll Expo.The expo is a three-day running health and wellness event. The event is free and open to the public, which made the participation all that much more fun to be a part of. This expo featured the latest in running technologies and health and nutrition information with interactive displays. 

 All those participating in the running portion of the events came through the expo to get their packets and visit some booths there. We were there promoting our amazing Physiopedal- the first cordless self-Pedaler that allows anyone.The Physiopedal is designed with the user in mind. We understand how complicated or busy people's lives can get. 

The Physiopedal is intended to be used with ease and comfort while sitting in your favorite chair, enjoying your favorite tv show. It is meant to help those who need exercise but Can’t due to physical limitations or a lack of time, space, or energy. 

The Physiopedal was received very well by professionals and the public alike. It was great to see many participants come back to our booth the try the Physiopedal- because they didn’t have the time before the race- and others come and try it again because they loved it that much! 

 

 

Chapman University's distinguished Stroke Boot Camp is heralding a new age of patient recovery and rehabilitation through an exciting partnership with Nobol, an innovator in health technology. The PhysioPedal, Nobol's groundbreaking cordless motorized exerciser, is set to become a vital part of the camp's rehabilitation program.


The Stroke Boot Camp is a unique, intensive initiative by Chapman University designed to accelerate recovery in stroke survivors. This year, participants will be introduced to the PhysioPedal, an advanced tool that blends cordless convenience and motorized assistance to provide a comprehensive and adaptable workout.

Designed to aid daily physical activity, the PhysioPedal presents a world-first in cordless motorized exercisers. Its dual-function motor offers gentle resistance in manual mode for active exercise, and powered assistance in auto mode for passive arm and leg movements.

Recent research has emphasized the importance of regular, motor-assisted physical activity in enhancing neuroplasticity - a vital factor in post-stroke recovery. By stimulating upper and lower body movements, PhysioPedal promotes neural repair and reorganization, improving motor function and mobility.

But the benefits of the PhysioPedal don't stop there. According to a comprehensive study on the effects of Assisted Cycling Therapy (ACT), the therapy is associated with notable improvements in motor and clinical function in chronic stroke patients. The study showed that ACT, which PhysioPedal provides, led to significant pre-to-posttest changes in all outcome measures. Faster cycling cadences seemed to correlate with more considerable acute effects.

The PhysioPedal's integration into Chapman University's Stroke Boot Camp marks a significant step in the role of technology in health and rehabilitation. This move underscores the shared dedication of Chapman University and Nobol to empower stroke survivors on their road to recovery. With PhysioPedal, participants of the Stroke Boot Camp now have an additional, effective tool to regain mobility and independence and lead a more active, healthy lifestyle.

Chapman University's Stroke Boot Camp and Nobol's commitment to health and independence through innovation are changing the face of stroke recovery. With tools like the PhysioPedal, stroke survivors have more power to reclaim their lives and rewrite their narratives - one pedal at a time.
