I am sure not an expert, but after getting TM I went to rehab for several
months.  The therapists always put me on several different peddle bikes at
each session.  At the time it seemed like I was on each one for quite  a
while.  As far as how long and how fast should be checked out with your doc
or P.T. person.

How about contacting a rehab center?    They may help you, or even your
neuro.

Subject: [TMIC] Peddle Machine

 

Has anyone used a peddle machine to work their legs?  I am using one now
with the idea of keeping my legs from atrophy.  My questions are how long
should I run my legs at one session and is it adviseable to do more than one
session a day.  I am currently doing 20 minutes and one session a day at
full speed--about 1350 revolutions in 20 minutes.  Any thoughts on this?
