THE WHEELCHAIR FOR THOSE
WHO STILL BELIEVE
What is a
COGY Wheelchair?
COGY is the world’s first wheelchair that moves by pedaling. The technology used in COGY wheelchairs helps increase mobility, serving as a rehabilitation method for those who suffer from spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, and other conditions.
COGY is built on the principle that even the slightest movement of one leg creates a reflex reaction where the opposing paralysed limb will move.
Why Choose Pedal-Powered COGY Wheelchairs?
COGY can help people recover from accidents or ailments which have left them difficulty walking. The design of the wheelchair is based on reflexivity, allowing users with limited mobility to use momentum to propel themselves forward. Unlike other wheelchairs, COGY is first and foremost about helping people with rehabilitation and mobility rather than providing a degree of comfort.
HOW IT WORKS?
What if, by using a wheelchair, people can have the opportunity to move their legs again?
For many patients, a life with a wheelchair means a life of giving up on the possibility of ever walking again. The COGY helps improve leg function, strength and fitness, all while allowing increased mobility.
It promotes a reaction from the spine rather than the brain, where even the slightest movement in one leg can create a reflex reaction where the opposing paralysed limb will move. Information from the sensory nerves modulates the neural networks of the brain and spinal cord. This is called neuromodulation. The result is stronger and more functional leg movements.
