Effect of Active-Passive Trainer Cycling on Multiple Sclerosis

APT for 30 minutes per day on 5 days per week for 4 weeks: 2 minute warm up consisting of passive cycling, where the legs of the participant are moved passively by the APT at 10 revolutions per min (rpm). Next, the participant will cycle for up to 26 minutes, at 60rpm. In this phase, the participant is required to actively cycle and to maintain a symmetrical pattern of movement using the feedback on the display. If the participant is unable to actively cycle at any point during the 26 minute exercise period, or if they have a spasm, the MOTOmed APT will revert to the passive mode. The final phase is a cool down where participants again will have 2 minutes of passive cycling at 10rpm.
