Recent studies have shown that forced exercise can improve the symptoms of individuals with Parkinson’s disease, particularly tandem cycling at a high cadence. Tandem cycling unfortunately, is not very practical in a real world setting so a new bike was developed that will be able to replicate the dynamics of tandem cycling and be able to be used directly by the consumer in their own home or utilized in closest rehabilitation facility. However, the current model of this modified bike has many settings that vary from one another and effect the exertion of the bike. The purpose of this study is to measure entropy at varying cadences and resistances in a dynamic setting on the dynamic stationary bike in order to better understand its variabilities and optimize the control and settings for future studies in individuals with Parkinson’s disease.
