The Exer-Rider is a riding toy for children with lower extremity disabilities and poor trunk control. The Exer-Rider provides improved support for positioning and smoother riding mobility.
The Exer-Rider was adapted from the Heavy Duty Roller Racer by a pediatric physical therapist, and is appropriate for children of varying diagnoses and ages. The experience of riding an Exer-Rider provides vestibular stimulation, enhances motor planning, and promotes visual perception skills. It also facilitates upper extremity strengthening while promoting trunk rotation. It is extremely safe and has a weight limit of 150 lbs. It is designed for children ages 4-12.
- Upturned handlebars to encourage trunk extension, shoulder stability and upper extremity reciprocal movement
- A foot plate designed to retain the foot and heel
- Hook-and-loop straps allow for easy positioning on the foot plate, or can be used to secure the ankles.
- Adjustable seat belt for positioning and stability
- Padded back support to aid trunk stability
- Padded non-slip seat for comfort
The Exer-Rider is very durable and its special wheels will not mark floors. This well-designed, high quality ride-on toy will be an exciting addition to your therapeutic tools. Comes complete – no assembly required.
