Petra RaceRunner

The Petra RaceRunner supports your body, frees up your legs, and enables you to feel the breeze!

Whether it's a forest trail or a stadium you can get out there and join in as the Petra RaceRunner is designed for multiple activities which include: Basic Mobility, Play, Family rides, Sport, and Physical fitness.

Frame Running has physical health benefits for children and adults as well as developing a greater sense of wellbeing, encouraging new friendships as well as motivating children to engage more fully in physiotherapy.

"The equipment helps the user to distribute their weight in a way that allows freedom of movement for their legs and feet. The Running Frame also has very little rolling resistance and so users can achieve self propulsion with a minimum of floor contact. This is a great motivation for trying harder, stretching further for the reward of speed".

The Petra RaceRunner can be used by children from 3-4 years through to adulthood. It is predominantly suitable for those with Cerebral Palsy, although it is also suitable for those with Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's Disease, and other disabilities that affect mobility and balance. The low centre of gravity and frame design offers good stability and poise whilst running or walking. The saddle unit counter-acts lateral sway and also can be used as a seat when resting.

Running Frames roll so freely that even children and adults who have been restricted to power wheelchairs have now found a way of propelling themselves by their own efforts.
