The KAYE Scoot-About, a swivel wheeled scooter, is
useful for both children and adults.
The adjustable seat height makes it possible for children and adults to sit on the seat and propel themselves with their feet. This makes it possible to work on reciprocal movement, heel-strike and coordinated knee flexion and extension. These patterns, which are necessary for ambulation, can be practiced in sitting before standing balance has developed. We have found scooting on the KAYE Scoot-About to be a wonderful way to activate the hamstrings and quadriceps in a reciprocal pattern following dorsal rhizotomy or hamstring lengthenings. Since the seat is adjustable in height, the child can be positioned with the appropriate amount of hip and knee flexion for maximal movement excursions.
