Default Pedaling for Parkinson's...and dystonia

Here is info on the Motomed Viva 2:

Found one of these in Oregon a few weeks ago at Portland Providence Medical Center's Acute Rehabilitation Center, where Jan just spent 10 days being tuned up. Alas, the PT wasn't familiar with the PD & Forced Motion Cycling reseach and wouldn't allow a 80 rpm trial. Today, Jan was evaluated by a physical therapist who say her hip flexors are A-OK for a trial of the forced rpm that's being studied.

Off to the races!
