Cycling after a stroke

Exercising after a stroke

For the best possible recovery after a stroke, it is important to keep exercising. You can think of walking, cycling, but also small household chores. Try to keep doing things yourself as much as possible. By regular exercise you also reduce the risk of a new stroke and you get less tired. (Source: Hersenstichting - Brain Foundation)

Riding an adapted bicycle after a stroke

The consequences after a stroke vary from person to person. Persons can suffer both physical and mental damage. Because of this, cycling on a regular bike may suddenly not be possible anymore. Van Raam's bicycles may offer a solution after a stroke.
 
Note: Whether it is possible for someone to cycle after a stroke varies from person to person! Consult with your doctor/physician about the possibilities.

Balance low step through bike

The Balance low step trough bike is a bike with two wheels. The unique frame gives you a low sitting position, allowing you to put both feet on the ground. This means that you do not have to get off the saddle and you can still cycle with your legs optimally stretched out. The center of gravity is lower on this bike, which makes cycling extra easy and comfortable. The Balance has a unique ergonomic seating position which relieves wrists, shoulders and the neck.

Walking aid after a stroke

The City walking aid can provide a solution for people who do not want a walker, but still need help with walking. The body weight is carried by the saddle, which relieves your back, hips, knees and ankles. Getting on is easy and safe because of the low step trough and the handbrake which fixes the walking aid when getting on.
