Conditions
Summary
This pilot A-B study aims to develop and validate personalized training programs for older adults with decreased mobility on a Semi-Reclining Intelligent Stationary Bike prototype. The study also aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the training programs and to document their preliminary effects on physical health, perceived well-being, and quality of life. Ten participants will take part in five personalized training sessions with the intelligent bike and five standard training sessions with a traditional stationary bike.

- Being able to walk without human assistance for short distances
- Being able to tolerate 90 minutes of activities with rest.
- Being able able to come to the research center for 13 visits, twice a week.

Interventions
A stationary motorized bike prototype that can evaluate lower limb functions such as strength, coordination, range of motion, and tonus. Based on the evaluation results, the iBike proposes a training program that is specific to each individual needs. Moreover, the intelligent bike offers diverse pedaling modes such as forward and backward pedaling, assisted pedaling, isotonic pedaling and pedaling with sensory stimulations.
A conventional stationary bike that can be found in gyms or rehab centers.
