Hello everyone.
I currently have a 2 year old girl who is a congential transradial. She does not wear an arm at the moment, however is trying to ride a tricycle. At the moment she just bends her elbow and wraps her arm around the handlebars. We are tring to get her something else to use. First thoughts are to use a ball and cup that would be used for stearing wheels, but we worry that it will be too big, or will be too difficult to come off if she has a fall.
Does anyone have any other ideas, or has used anything else for a child this young.
Thanks for your help!
