CUSTOM ADAPTATION PURPOSE: To provide a child with neurological disabilities the opportunity to ride a bicycle. A standard child's bicycle was outfitted with an eight-inch seat, large footcups, a fixed rear wheel, rear outrigger stabilizer wheels, a high riser bar, a pelvic belt, trunk stabilzer fins with mesh straps, and a tow bar mounted to the front handlebar. In addition, a brace was fixed beneath the pedal-mounted footcups. The brace wraps around the child's calf to hold his foot in the proper position for pedaling to prevent ankle injury. TITLE: Bicycle and Beyond. JOURNAL: TAD Journal. REF: Volume 26, Number 3, October 2006. PAGES: 8-10. Number of pages: 4 (including cover). 2006.
