The development of the M7i began as a compact unit that would fit in hallways of retirement communities for residents in wheelchairs and scooters to roll up to and exercise. From there it grew into a full-blown rehab machine. Using Keiser’s magnetic resistance technology, the M7i provides a smooth, quiet, stair climbing motion from a comfortable recumbent position. The foot plate supports the angular position of the foot through the full pedaling stroke. It articulates to minimize the change in ankle flexion as you pedal providing a more comfortable exercise. It also features an upper body resistance system for a low impact full body workout. The included Foot and Leg Stabilizers and Wrist Straps make the M7i ideal for stroke and other brain and spinal cord injury survivors, as well as cardiac rehab patients.
