LEGMAKER · LOWER-LIMB MOTION PLATFORM

Movement, engineered around you.

A patented, wheelchair-integrated lower-limb exercise platform under development to bring assisted motion, active exercise, adjustable resistance and connected session information into a compact system designed for everyday use.

BUILT AROUND THE WHEELCHAIR

Attach. Align. Move.

LegMaker is being developed as a patented, compact motor-assisted pedal unit designed to attach to 16-, 18- and 20-inch manual wheelchairs, with a focus on lower-limb movement, configurable sessions and connected software.

01

Wheelchair-first fit

Designed around common manual wheelchair sizes with a compact front-mounted architecture.

02

Lower-limb focus

Seated leg exercise with configurable cadence, resistance and session duration.

03

Connected sessions

Planned patient and provider software for RPM, duration, power, resistance and other session metrics.

DESIGN PREMISE

Start with the mobility system people already use.

01

The chair stays central.

LegMaker is designed around a seated wheelchair setup rather than a separate exercise station.

02

Movement becomes configurable.

The product direction brings passive, active and resistance-based exercise into one motion architecture.

03

Sessions become readable.

Connected software is planned to organize device settings and session information in a clear experience.

WHY LEGMAKER

Exercise technology should adapt to the person’s existing mobility setup — not ask the person to adapt to the machine.

THREE MODES

One platform. Different levels of support.

MOTOR-ASSISTED

Passive motion

The system drives the pedal cycle to provide continuous lower-limb movement.

Assist
01

Passive

Motor-assisted cycling where the system provides the movement.

02

Active

User-driven movement with session sensing and tracking.

03

Resistance

Adjustable resistance with up to 15 planned levels for progressive training.

A SMALLER FOOTPRINT

Designed to meet the chair — not replace it.

LegMaker’s product direction centers the wheelchair itself, with the motion unit positioned around the user’s existing seated setup.

PHYSICAL AI + CONTROL

Adaptive by design.

LegMaker’s architecture is being developed around closed-loop sensing, responsive resistance control and connected software for a more measurable exercise experience.

CONNECTED BY DESIGN

Turn motion into information.

The product roadmap connects physical movement with readable session data — designed to make configuration and review simpler for users and care teams.

WHO WE ARE BUILDING FOR

Home use, clinical evaluation and care delivery.

The current product strategy centers wheelchair users and older adults with mobility limitations, alongside rehabilitation clinics, home-care providers, assisted-living settings, VA hospitals and caregivers.

01

Wheelchair users

A wheelchair-integrated approach intended to make lower-limb exercise more accessible within the user’s existing mobility setup.

02

Rehabilitation teams

A developing platform for structured sessions, product evaluation and connected exercise information.

03

Home & caregiver workflows

A product direction designed around aging in place, repeatable sessions and a future caregiver-facing digital experience.

THE EXPERIENCE

From setup to session in a clear flow.

1

Position

Bring LegMaker into the wheelchair setup.

2

Configure

Select mode, cadence, resistance and duration.

3

Move

Run the lower-limb exercise session.

4

Review

Use connected metrics to review the session.

TRACTION

From patents to pilot preparation.

Rehabwheel’s current company materials report two granted patents in the U.S. and China, clinical-study discussions underway, and preparation for usability and safety validation work.

DEVELOPMENT PATH
  • Granted U.S. and China intellectual property
  • Clinical study discussions underway
  • Usability and safety validation preparation
  • Initial clinical-pilot manufacturing planning

“Build around the wheelchair. Measure the session. Keep the experience human.”
