Can Motorized Stationary Cycling Provide the Same Tested Benefits as Cleveland Clinic’s Forced Tandem Cycling Trials?
Dr. Jay Alberts of the Cleveland Clinic, made famous by his research linking the tandem cycling’s positive effects on those with Parkinson’s, is at it again – this time, testing motorized stationary bicycles.
Alberts original clinical trials discovered that stationary tandem riding with the patient in the back and a trainer in the front forces Parkinson patients to ride faster than they normally would, which challenges the body and the brain. Alberts says this releases dopamine and activates the part of the brain that controls body movement, which may explain the improvement in symptoms.
His new research, which he began in June 2011, will seek to discern whether motorized stationary cycling can produce the same reduction in PD symptoms as his original study.
