Hi Folks,
thought some of you might be interested in this article I found on instructables. It's not for me, but please don't flame me - I'm trying to help someone on the other side of the world.

Some folks may be keen to attempt a build or donate parts?

Here's a summary:
"I am seeking a very resourceful, intelligent builder. My 79 y.o. father suffered a traumatic brain injury 15 mos ago. He is minimally conscious and immobile. We get him into a wheelchair but he gets no movement. This machine will cycle his legs while he lies in bed. It is over $9,000 and Medicare does not pay for the device. I am in leaving a web site address that has information about the machine. I have alot of other information if anyone might be interested.

I realize that this is a long shot but I thought I might try. "

I think you'd need to respond via Instructables....
