The MOTOmed muvi brings music to movement therapy

The MOTOmed muvi is unique in its flexibility as a movement therapy device. Whether pure arm/upper body training, leg training or simultaneous leg and arm training - all forms of movement are possible with the MOTOmed muvi.

As a special feature in the latest version, it is now also possible to play music simultaneously. This can on the one hand increase the motivation during training, and on the other hand improve the quality of the therapy, as has been proven in various studies.
