The Merry Motivator is recommended for persons who are no longer ambulatory, but can use their legs and feet to scoot or propel. The scooting action helps strengthen lower leg muscles and reduces edema and atrophy to the legs. The Motivator is designed to replace heavier Geri chairs, recliners, and other wheelchairs where the user pedals. The front cross arm closes to keep the user secure in chair and help to build up arm muscles by resistant pressure.
