Just got my new myocycle in yesterday. Can’t wait to get going on it. Anyone else have one. It is a lot different than the rti but I love it

Thanks. I looked up the site and requested info. I used a RT300 for years at our local outpatient. This one looks less complicated with better leg support. Did you buy it or did insurance pay for it? I have good Workers Comp. but if it sells at a reasonable cost;I'd just self pay.Comment

It is about 9000 I believe. I got insurance to pay. Tell them you can’t get to the outpatient to use it because of pandemic. Your doc has to write a letter telling all the benefits of use.Good luckComment

I also want to put in a plug for the Myocycle. I've only been using mine for a short time and my quads have doubled in size. It's extremely easy to use. And things get more interesting every time you use it. I have enough muscle, now, that I can pedal hard enough to really increase my breathing. There's a Power readout on the touch screen that tells you how hard you're pedaling. Mine just keeps going up!

I have one, I love it, and the support is excellent. If anything goes wrong they are responsive and helpful and really fast.Comment

I have one, too. Nice and streamlined cycle, and much easier to use for untrained folks that help me. Cheaper price tag doesn’t hurt, either! It also has a nice look to it, and doesn’t appear to be nearly as clinical as the RTI.C5/6 complete (maybe) circa June 2018Comment

Do any of you get AD from the stim cycle? I am T3/4 and I'm getting AD using the RT300 in therapy. I also tried Myocyn last winter at a different clinic and I don't recall getting AD nearly as much using that system.Last edited by crispy1981; 17 Nov 2022, 8:22 PM.Comment

I don’t get AD from either one, but I can imagine that the Myocycle might be a little bit more forgiving. Fewer channels, after all.Originally posted by crispy1981 View Post
For what it’s worth, I also like the idea that the Myocycle seems much closer to some thing I might one day operate independently than the RTS. Probably a pipe dream, but a man can wish!C5/6 complete (maybe) circa June 2018Comment

I am a C6. I have only gotten AD from SP tube blockages before I started intermittent cathing, and once from driving directly into a sunset immediately after transferring to the drivers seat. Some thing about the combination of blinding light and suddenly sitting really upright did it for me. -
Thanks ej, so it would appear AD is VERY rare for you so that would makes sense that you don't get it on a stim cycle
