Power Pumper
Quest88 is excited to introduce the Power Pumper, an innovative,
award-winning, therapeutic mobility device for children from ages
five to eleven.
Its unique pumping action provides movement for both upper and
lower extremities, and helps build trunk muscles. The Power Pumper
is used in therapy and physical education; activities for building
endurance and muscle development. Therapists have found the Power
Pumper to be a major factor in helping children successfully
accomplish their therapeutic goals.
When therapy is painful or difficult, getting a child to
actively participate can be very frustrating for a parent. That is
why parents are thrilled when their child's therapist incorporates
a Power Pumper into their session. The pain and difficulty seem to
vanish.
From the child's perspective it all starts with the look of the
Power Pumper. They like the fact that it looks "cool", unlike the
other mobility devices in therapy that are developed for children
with additional needs. As they ride it, they find the Power Pumper
is easy to operate and fun to use! Many parents like it because it
is a safe activity. The low center of gravity provides a feeling of
security for their child. They also like the fact that it promotes
movement of both upper and lower extremities.
Parents who use a Power Pumper for their children are thrilled
with the results. Instead of dealing with the frustration of
getting children to do their therapy and exercises, parents and
therapists have said that it is difficult to get them to stop
because they enjoy their time on the Power Pumper so much.
Children overwhelmingly embrace this new mobility device because
they see it as engaging and fun, not therapy. Children are
instantly attracted to it because of its "cool" design. Riding the
Power Pumper is so enjoyable they do not want to stop. As a
mobility device that exercises both upper and lower extremities, it
has proven to be effective in increasing muscle strength,
endurance, extremity development and motor coordination. These are
just a few of the positive results seen in children when
implementing the Power Pumper into their therapy sessions. Because
it is influential in changing a child's attitude towards therapy,
along with the results it produces, therapists using the Power
Pumper consider it a "must have" mobility device.
