  • Publication number: 20060035760
    Abstract: A passive child therapy tricycle with a specially adjustable chassis, seat and pedals provides a highly adjustable yet efficient motorized tricycle for exercising a child's legs in a rehabilitative setting. The tricycle includes an expandable frame chassis in the shape of a child's tricycle. At the front of the tricycle a direct drive electric motor operates the pedal shaft for turning pedals. The pedals may be adjusted inwardly or outwardly to adjust the pedals' width to that of the child's hips. Adjustable handlebars allow the caregiver to increase the height of the handlebars. A two-piece seat is adjustable in the vertical direction. A curved vertical portion of the back seat provides support of the back. A seat belt through this curved vertical portion helps keep the child in an upright position. A specially contoured lower horizontal seat has a central crown with a back and sides that are tapered downwardly and outwardly. The front of the seat is tapered downwardly.

  • Publication number: 20050064998
    Abstract: An exercise pediatric stationary tricycle is designed to look like a standard child's tricycle. It comes in bright, primary colors and has a large front wheel and two smaller rear wheels just like a normal tricycle. While the wheels are stationary, the pedals are designed to be driven by a programmable electric motor. The electric motor allows the adult to set the speed and length of time of the exercise. The seat and handlebars are adjustable in a horizontal direction. In addition, the handlebars are adjustable in a vertical direction. The attractive appearance and functional design of the exercise tricycle fulfills the need of some children with low or no muscle tone in their lower extremities to enjoy exercising their legs.
