Hip Extension Tricycle (HET) - Medium
 | | 
Gullworks Manufacturing has temporarily suspended production. As soon as these tricycles are available again we will be accepting orders!
We all know that riding a tricycle is lots of fun! But who knew that it could have so many therapeutic benefits as well! The Hip Extension Tricycle (HET) was developed specifically to focus on strengthening the hamstring muscle group. This is the muscle group that is used while walking to extend the leg backwards. For children that have a difficult time strengthening this muscle group, the HET is a great way to make therapy fun!!!
The HET is designed to utilize a back and forth motion with the legs, similar to walking, Traditional tricycles require a circular motion that can be difficult for some children with disabilities to master. This tricycle is also designed to allow the user to propel in forward or backward – direct drive.
Other benefits of using the HET are:
- Increased coordination
- Improved muscle strength
- Increased endurance
- Improved balance and postural control
- Increased self-esteem
- Increased social interaction

- Wide wheel base
- Foot sandals with straps
- Chrome-Moly frame
- Available in 3 sizes
