Nudge: TheraTrike


TheraTrike™ specializes in designing and manufacturing therapeutic tricycles and accessories for children with disabilities. Its products provide benefits for riders with minimal to profound disabilities.

TheraTrike tricycles are uniquely different from other cycles on the market today because of the simple, patented back-and-forth walking motion used to pedal the tricycles. The product was conceptualized by a physiatrist at Primary Children's Medical Center and developed at the University of Utah to utilize the hip extensor muscles (the buttock muscles used in walking) to strengthen and develop gait in children with cerebral palsy and similar disorders. Formal testing and evaluation concluded that use of the tricycle enhanced gait and improved self-esteem. Children enjoy the freedom and ability to participate in everyday neighborhood activities, while parents enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the tricycle for their children. The force required to operate is minimal during either forward or backward travel.

TheraTrike tricycles come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Each is adjustable to ensure the perfect fit for all children from small toddlers all the way up to adult size. Customers can choose from the following colors: red, blue, yellow, white, pink, and purple.
