The fun and freedom of riding your own bike is something everyone should be able to enjoy. Now, thanks to the AmTryke adaptive tricycles, even individuals with special needs who are unable to operate a traditional bike can finally realize this wonderful experience.
AmTryke special needs tricycles includes foot cycles, hand cycles, and combination hand/foot driven cycles. To insure a proper fit AmTrykes can be adapted in many ways including frame size, seat selection, trunk and leg support. This makes the adaptive tricycle ideal for children with a variety of special needs. As a therapeutic tricycle, AmTrykes help children improve motor skills, provides strength training, is fun to ride and offers the opportunity for inclusive play. For adults, AmTrykes provide a new form of mobility, exercise, and freedom to explore the community.
All children deserve a chance to have a bike just like their siblings and friends. Given a safe, stable platform, many riders not previously considered can ride just like their peers. All AmTryke adaptive tricycles are designed to look like bikes, not medical equipment, and to be age appropriate. These special needs tricycles have been used successfully for indivdiuals with autism who have balance issues to children with spina bifida, cerbral palsy and Down Syndrome with low muscle tone, and minimal strength and motor skills.
Both physical and occupational therapists acknowledge the AmTryke special needs tricycles many therapeutic benefits, citing improved motor skills, strength development and self-esteem. |
