Find out in an exclusive interview with Dr. Ludwig Geiger how the Corratec Life Bike series can have a positive impact on your health.
The bike-specific riding position and its advantages
How does the bike-specific seating position of the Corratec Life neutralize body weight and why is this advantageous?
Dr. Ludwig Geiger: The special frame design we have developed with a low step-through enables particularly heavy people and/or people with restricted mobility to get on the bike without any effort or additional strain. This ensures that the body weight is optimally distributed and the spine and joints are relieved.
Improved mobility through Corratec Life-Training
How can Corratec Life-Training help to improve the mobility of this target group?
Dr. Ludwig Geiger: People whose mobility is restricted due to arthrosis, spinal conditions or after accidents for walking or running can use it to improve their mobility. It can also help with long Covid treatment. Training on the Corratec Life enables gentle but effective movement that strengthens the muscles and protects the joints.
Biomechanical optimization of the Corratec Life bikes
What role does the biomechanical optimization of the Corratec Life bikes play?
Dr. Ludwig Geiger: The special frame design we have developed with a low step-through enables particularly heavy people and/or people with restricted mobility to get on the bike without any effort or additional strain. This is a decisive factor in maximizing biomechanical efficiency and increasing comfort.
Comparison with other training devices for people with pre-existing orthopaedic conditions
What advantages does the Corratec Life offer compared to other training devices for people with pre-existing orthopaedic conditions?
Dr. Ludwig Geiger: In addition to the low entry, which defies all twisting effects, the special saddle design compensates for lateral misloads on the pelvis and spine. Optimum adjustment options for the stem and handlebars enable a physiological spinal posture and effective use of the controls. Furthermore, large, safe disc brakes offer additional protection.
Cooperation between Corratec and Dr. Ludwig Geiger
How has the collaboration between you and Corratec developed?
Dr. Ludwig Geiger: The partnership between Corratec and myself has made it possible to tailor the Corratec Life Bike series specifically to the needs of people with health restrictions. Through continuous exchange and joint studies, we have been able to further optimize the bikes and adapt them to the special requirements of our target group.
Look forward to part 2 soon
