I have an adult patient with spastic hemiplegia who would like to ride a three wheeler for exercise and entertainment. Before her CV riding was her biggest hobby. She would like a system that will allow her to don/doff independently. She uses an art afo with a pf stop at minus 5 degrees In therapy, she was able to ride the exercise bike, but required help in strapping her leg to the pedal. Her left hand is very involved, but I assume she would be able to grasp the handle safely.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
