Akua - I also have one at home.? I am a T-7 with TM for 3.5 yrs and I have had my bike for about 1.5 years.? It's great because as Cody said it is simple to operate.? If you can't use the handle bar grips, someone can stand in front of you and do the pushing.? Your legs and hips still get a work out, just not your upper body.? Insurance paid for mine also, but the price was $11,000.?? Laurie in Baltimore

It helps with maintaining muscle and bone strength in my legs and my arms, blood flow and blood pressure, range of motion in my hips, and it helps me mentally to know I am doing something positive. It helps me with my arms and hips because?the standing ?frame allows my legs to move back and forth as I move the hand grips/glides?back and forth in the top of the frame. Basically the hand grips on top are connected to the foot shoes on the bottom of the frame?with a resistance cannister in between, The reisstance cannisters look like shock abssorbers?and you can dial in the the amount of resistance you want. I know all of this may sound complicated but it is a pretty simple operation. I transfer onto the seat from my wheelchair without using my sliding board.?I think they sell for around $5K. My insurance company paid for it and I have had it for eight years. I am glad you ask about it because I have been kinda lazy lately.?You can see a picture of mine at the following web site http://www.easystand.com/evolv-glider/index.cfm..
