An upper body ergometer — UBE, arm bike or arm crank — delivers cardio and muscular endurance work through the arms and shoulders. It is a staple in physical therapy, cardiac rehab, wheelchair-accessible gyms and any facility that serves users who cannot load their legs.

Look for a crank height that adjusts to seated and standing users, wheelchair access (removable seat or roll-in platform), bi-directional cranking, low starting resistance for rehab, and an ergometer-grade console that reports watts. Many clinical models also offer adjustable crank arm length.

More About Upper Body Ergometers & Arm Bikes

SciFit PRO1 and PRO2 units are the most common UBEs in American clinics, with a removable seat for wheelchair use, iso-strength mode and a rehab-friendly resistance range that starts near zero. Monark ergometers add calibrated braking for testing. Standalone rope trainers from Marpo Kinetics take upper-body cardio in a different direction with an endless-rope pulling motion popular in athletic training.

When placing a UBE, plan for a clear approach on at least one side so a wheelchair can roll straight in, and set the crank axle at roughly shoulder height for the seated user. Commercial UBEs are compact (about 40 x 30 inches) and self-powered or battery-operated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who uses upper body ergometers?

Physical and occupational therapists, cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs, wheelchair users, athletes cross-training after a lower-body injury, and anyone wanting upper-body cardio.

What is the difference between a UBE and a total body ergometer?

A UBE has arm cranks only. A total body ergometer adds pedals so arms and legs can work together or independently.

Are UBEs wheelchair accessible?

Most clinical models are: the seat removes or swings away and the crank height adjusts to the chair. Check the product page for the specific access features.
