Participants have ranged in age from seven to 21 since the program started in January.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many children with mild to moderate motor delays have the potential to ride a bike, but have been frustrated because it is more difficult for them,&#8221; said MMI physical therapist Regina Harbourne. &#8220;It&#8217;s really great when they get it. It&#8217;s an empowering skill that will help them keep fit. They&#8217;re so proud they can do it and join other children in an activity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"1\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/PEDALS2003.jpg\" border=\"2\" align=\"right\" alt=\"picture disc.\"><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<font face=\"arial\"><br \/>\nMichaela Schwartz with her mom, Rosanne.<br \/>\n<\/FONT><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<\/TABLE><b>Children learn at their own pace<\/b><\/p>\n<p>PEDALS participants, many of whom have Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, hypotonia or ADHD, attend weekly sessions until they&#8217;re pedaling across the Center for Healthy Living gymnasium floor.

He has had developmental problems ever since, said his mother, Pat. &#8220;We had put his bicycle in the attic,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>Today, the 12-year-old PEDALS student is able to stay on a bicycle without training wheels, his mother said. <\/p>\n<p><b>Bike riding is a complex skill<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bike riding is a complex skill requiring the integration of vision, limb sense, strength, coordination, balance, endurance, information processing, attention and handling of the bike in various situations, Harbourne said. &#8220;Children with motor challenges need someone to analyze where they are having difficulty, help them discover strategies that work for them, and tell them what support is needed for a time before they can expect changes,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>PEDALS participants must be able to walk without an assisted device and follow simple commands. During the program, participants master approximately 35 sub-skills ranging from using the kick stand to walking beside the bicycle through a door.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the program, MMI staff members are developing a specialized training wheel, which allows them to adjust how flexible it is. <\/p>\n<p><b>For more information<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Anyone interested in learning more about PEDALS, should call MMI physical therapy at 559-6415.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"  Nnws  s ROgYiGDmj\"><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although, bike riding is a breeze for Rosanne Schwartz and her husband, Mike, who have logged hundreds of miles on a single trip, mastering a two-wheeler has been a challenge for their 10-year-old daughter.
