Answer: YES the January Special is Free Comfort Pedals with the purchase of any PhysioPedal.
2. Is the Battery Fully Charged when I get my PhysioPedal?
Answer: NO but your PhysioPedal has been Tested and should have the bottom Red Light ON and at least ONE of the Green Lights - Each GREEN LIGHT is about 1 Hour of PhysioPedal Motor Time.
3. How far in do I have to Push the Battery?
Answer: The Battery needs to be pushed in from the middle firmly until it CLICKS IN - this requires a slight heavy push. Don't worry you can't break the battery or the Unit by pushing it in.

The Nobol's PhysioPedal is a medical-grade ACT (Assisted Cycling Therapy) device designed for the elderly, sedentary, and those recovering from a recent health event. It is built to be used daily at home.
Depending on your insurance policy, you can use your HSA / FSA account to purchase it. Please check with your insurance to see if they cover it.
While we do not offer medical advice, there are many benefits to using ACT - Studies show stationary biking is a safer exercise mode than treadmill walking in controlling foot edema. We encourage you to review our website at www.Nobol.com and go to the Health Benefits page to learn more about Assisted Cycling Therapy (ACT), they are numerous.
ACT at low cadences (30-50 rpm), often called passive cycling, is sometimes used in the acute phase after a stroke for patients with impaired motor function and insufficient active muscular contractions. ACT may also benefit motor recovery during the chronic post-stroke period in the lower extremities for aerobic exercise. Based on case reports, ACT was feasible and safe for all participants, and the heart rates stayed around 90 bpm. Thus, ACT may not be overly fatiguing and allow for occupational and physical therapy sessions afterward.
No, right now, the PhysioPedal does not have resistance settings. The PhysioPedal is designed to help individuals that need to exert themselves longer and at higher intensities than they would be able to do on their own. It is meant to allow them to exercise at an elevated pace beyond his or her preferred rate while the subject achieves a specified aerobic intensity range pre or post-rehabilitation.
Assisted Cycle Therapy (ACT) is a method of intervention that has positively affected motor and cognitive functioning in clinical populations with compromised CNS, poor motor function, low exercise motivation, and reduced cognition. Studies have shown that this project has the potential to change clinical practice, which may improve motor and cognitive functioning, as well as attitudes towards exercise for populations with neurologic disorders that inhibit movement rate. Future research will continue to examine the mechanisms responsible for improving global motor functioning following ACT interventions.
The PhysioPedal is designed to stay stable through the multiple-speed gears, adapted to people's needs and abilities at different stages. Moreover, it has a built-in Mechanism that warns the user if it becomes unstable and stops the device.
The PhysioPedal is the world's first battery-powered motor-assisted cycle designed to improve the upper and lower body's range of motion and condition. It has multiple functions, such as forward and reverses, which are supported simultaneously to allow for a complete rehabilitation plan.
