How to use Jettmobile Scooter by Tumble Forms

Head and Trunk Control

• Control the head and trunk by symmetrically positioning the prone child snugly on the Jettmobile scooter, realizing that head and trunk extension are prerequisite to upper extremity function.
• Head and trunk extension can be emphasized by pulling a child along who is grasping the pull rope while prone.
• Since the prone position is easily attained on the Jettmobile scooter, it is a welcome activity for spina bifida children.

Upper Extremities

Jettmobile scooter is designed to facilitate the development of upper extremities, encouraging bilateral motor coordination and improve strength and endurance of the arms and hands.

Sensorimator

A stimulating activity is to spin the Jettmobile scooter around in a circle asking the child to use hard-over-hand movements, changing direction from clockwise to counter-clockwise.

Hip Extension

While lying prone in a snug, symmetrical, abducted and externally rotated leg position, gradually tighten the Velcro belt to reduce hip flexion. The slight incline on both front and rear decks will encourage hip extension as you position the child hips in the middle of the Jettmobile scooter.
