Cerebral palsied children have abnormal muscle tone which prevents their use of conventional recreational and body building devices.
It has been found that spasticity in a child can be reduced through reflex-inhibiting posture which can be provided by positioning the body in a particular manner which enables the child to exert body muscles without the influence of abnormal spastic patterns. Abnormal spastic patterns prohibit the normal use and development of muscle tone.
There are no known riding devices that are suitable for this purpose.
