Lifeward and MYOLYN Expand Partnership to Enhance Patient Access to MyoCycle FES Cycling Therapy System for Home Use

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and YOKNEAM ILLIT, Israel and GAINESVILLE, Fla., March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifeward Ltd., (Nasdaq: LFWD) (“Lifeward” or the “Company”), a global leader in innovative medical technology to transform the lives of people with physical limitations or disabilities, and MYOLYN, Inc. (“MYOLYN”) a leading medical technology company specializing in functional electrical stimulation (“FES”) therapy, jointly announced today that the companies are expanding their exclusive contract to increase patient access to the MyoCycle FES Cycling Therapy System (“MyoCycle”) for home use through the Lifeward organization.

MYOLYN is best known for its innovative, affordable, and easy-to-use MyoCycle, a stationary exercise bike with integrated electrical stimulation to the user’s muscles to provide therapeutic exercise for individuals experiencing muscle weakness or paralysis caused by disorders like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. Based on the new contract, Lifeward will add management of referrals and sales of the MyoCycle Home product for patients that are transitioning from clinical use to home use. This expanded contract builds upon the existing distribution agreement between the two companies, under which Lifeward has been managing all hospital and clinic-based sales of the MyoCycle Pro product nationwide, as well as home use sales for individuals with VA and Workers’ Compensation benefits. The new agreement will expand the partnership to include sales to individuals referred by their therapist for home use of the MyoCycle Home. MYOLYN will continue to directly service patients who are already discharged from therapy and want to maximize their health and recovery with a home FES cycling program.

“We are so pleased to grow and strengthen our partnership with MYOLYN,” said Larry Jasinski, CEO of Lifeward. “We see great opportunity to better serve the patients who have completed their therapy in the clinic and want to continue their rehabilitation at home. This agreement will significantly expand Lifeward’s ability to continue to serve these patients, and Lifeward has already built the significant case management infrastructure necessary to support the anticipated growth in the MyoCycle product line, due to the shared nature of these internal resources between the MyoCycle and the ReWalk Exoskeleton.”

“Our mission has always been to make our products accessible to those who need them,” said Alan Hamlet, Co-Founder and CEO of MYOLYN. “By expanding our partnership with Lifeward, we can help more patients receive the care they need and assist them in the transition from clinical to home use.”
