Kaye Pedalers, Models PD1, PD2, PD4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In keeping with the need to introduce fitness products
for children with special needs, KAYE Products is offering
the Pedalers in three challenging models.
The Pedalers utilize the principle of a split axle to
create forward or backward motion while encouraging the
child to coordinate weight shift, side-to-side and forward
to back. These products allow the users to control timing of
reciprocal inter-limb movements which are needed
for walking.
The Posture Pedaler, model PD4, with its horizontal or parallel bars, is particularly appropriate for a child who cannot walk without external support. The hand placement and postural alignment is similar those used by the KAYE Posture Control Walker and is an easy transition for many children. The Pole Pedaler,model PD2, with its parallel upright poles, requires better postural control. The child can use the poles for balance, but not weight bearing, and must be able to initiate weight shift through the lower extremities. Both of these products have foot guards that help keep the feet placed on the bases. The adjustable toe stop assists in positioning the child on the Pedaler. This feature is primarily important for children who tend to adduct or internally rotate their hips and therefore cannot keep their feet well aligned when stepping. A third model, The Balance Pedaler, model PD1, is designed for more able-bodied users. Distractible children find that they are challenged by the high level of balance and coordination required by this model. |
 The Pole Pedaler, Model PD2, (above) encourages the user to practice balance, postural control and timing reciporcal movements needed for walking.  The Pedalers PD2 and PD4 are long enough to hold two persons to assist weight shift and coordinate the rhythm of stepping. The Balance Pedaler, model PD1, challenges more able bodied persons. |
