Ally has been working with her physical therapist for months on trying to ride a tricycle along with other skills. It’s a lot of hard work since her legs just don’t have the strength they should. She’s made wonderful progress with the trike the past two therapy sessions and has gotten going on some pretty long stretches down the hallway. Steering is NOT her strong-point as it takes pretty intense concentration to move her feet. 🙂 The therapy trike has modified pedals so her feet are velcro’d to the pedals (which helps a LOT by the way) Sometimes her therapist puts the trike on the treadmill so it does the work for her and she can get the feeling of how her legs should be moving. The past few times we’ve taken her out on her trike at home, she’s tried to pedal by herself and gotten closer to being able to do it on her own. It’s tough without the help of the velcro straps though 🙂
