Some of our Kids!

Gait Trainer Placement

Djimon is an eight-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy.  He was recently adopted by his Aunt and Uncle.  He will soon be a Medicaid client, however, is waiting for approval.  Djimon had outgrown his previous gait trainer and was no longer able to enjoy the independence that such a device provides.

Kids Mobility Network provided a Bronco gait trainer for Djimon.  He now can safely play in the driveway with his siblings again.  His smile tells the story!

Gait Trainer Placement

Aidan is a two-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy.  His family is insured, but has a very high co-pay for durable medical equipment. Aidan's therapist felt that it was time for him to get up on his feet and suggested a gait trainer that had extensive support to provide a safe environment for weight bearing.

Kids Mobility Network provided Aidan with a Rifton Pacer gait trainer with all supports. Aidan is now gaining greater trunk strength and has gained independence.  He has gained greater mobility, which allows him to better interact with his brothers.

Wheelchair Placement

Nicole is an adorable seven year old girl with Cerebral Palsy.  Nicole had outgrown her previous wheelchair.  The family turned to Kids Mobility Network.

Kids Mobility Network provided Nicole not only with the wheelchair pictured here, but also a Cricket gait trainer and a bath chair.

Wheelchair Placement

Ronnie is an eight-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy.  The family had extensive delays in getting approval for a new wheelchair from their primary health insurance carrier.  While working hard to get an approval, Ronnie outgrew his wheelchair and required a larger wheelchair for safety.  He went months without a wheelchair.

Kids Mobility Network provided Ronnie with a manual Quickie wheelchair.  After four months he received his new wheelchair and the family donated ths chair back to Kids Mobility Network for another child's future benefit.

Ronnie's mother wrote, "This chair is much more stable and wouldn't have been possible if we hadn't found you."

Therapeutic Tricycle Placement

Alex is a four-year-old boy with limited use and control of his legs.  His family requested a therapeutic tricycle to build strength in his legs and hips, and allow him to ride bikes with his sister.

Kids Mobility Network provided a therapeutic tricycle that requires considerably less coordination than a traditional bicycle, which allows Alex to ride bikes with his sister, while increasing strength and coordination in his legs and hips.  It is important to note that Ronnie's family donated the tricycle that Alex received.

Wheelchair Placement

Jesus is a twelve-year-old boy that lost his right leg to cancer.  His family has very limited options for helping their son.  The family is an undocumented family without health insurance.

Kids Mobility Network provided a manual Quickie wheelchair for the family at no cost to them.  This young man's mother was in disbelief and asked several times, "Are you sure that this is ours to keep?"
