1.(TRIDYNAMIC)SPECIAL NEEDS ADAPTIVE TRICYCLE UNITED STATES PATENT 7819414 ABSTRACT An apparatus adapted for use as a therapeutic tricycle; said apparatus including in part, a specialized lever system permitting optimal rider center of mass positioning;a steering lock out(dampening) system; an embodiment prescribing optimized apparatus dimensions based upon rider weight to enhance apparatus stability; an improved wheelie bar system; a shock absorbing system; the combinations permitting enhanced apparatus stability and
(tri-dynamic) abilities to perform a varied array of maneuvers providing exercise, therapeutic, and recreational advantages which particularly benefit disabled children.
Including a method of exercising(Spastic) tendons and/or heel cords using a specialized adaptive tricycle.
2. Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to human powered vehicles generally and therapeutic multi-wheeled vehicles more specifically.
BACKGROUND Multi-wheel vehicles, including tricycles, are well known in the prior art. Tricycles are known to have a specific application and use for disabled individuals. For many, a properly functioning therapeutic tricycle serves as a primary means of locomotion and makes possible goals and objectives otherwise beyond reach.
3.PRIOR ART TRICYCLES, when utilized in a Therapeutic capacity, are well known to have deficiencies. The most concerning deficiency is the tendency for the apparatus to tip(roll over) when the rider independently turns. Such tricycles are always problematic, however, they are particularly devastating when sustained by individuals (children)with specific preexisting motor impairments; children that must be strapped onto the tricycle at the feet. These factors limit or prevent self protective actions during a fall often times resulting in serious TBI Traumatic Brain Injuries.(Concussion)

Mobility and fun.( U.S. Patent 7,819,414 ) Focused on children-and with mild, moderate to some more severe debilitating circumstances that require the very best long term rehabilitation technologies Today.
1.U.S.Patented Tridynamic Special Needs Adapted Cycle.(Fully customized)A Rearward(side)mounted, parent or therapist or trainer assist control bar(Lever)must be a standard item on Any (Tridynamic) Therapeutic Medical Device.
High back(hospital setting) in addition to a standard seat back are available. However,an early prototype (low)seat back is shown in the some of the videos below -used for less restrictive abilities and where our son Jaysen's trunk control is not an issue as well as one of Jay's strengths. Nevertheless Jaysen now employes a Standard seat back . ! Reconfiguration is never recommended regarding absolute safety.
Tridynamic(s): Spasticity Reduction,Omni Stimulus,Long Term Rehabilitation devices are Intelligently Designed to provide for as well as greatly improve state of being via a long term (physically fit) lifestyle starting with the youngest children which exhibit extraordinary and specialized rehabilitation needs today. And....................................far beyond

Taking responsibility.....Tridynamic tridynamics introduces an independent/ highly measurable, as well as what is known as limited assisted(FDA)"non measuring" (push bar) therapeutic benefits.
However,Tridynamic caters to the long term.... (fall risk, rehabilitation, dormant abilities and omi stimulus ) .... needs of children and human beings which will generally desire to vigorously cycle (independently) in a supervised setting,without the risks of receiving further brain injuries(concussions) associated with tip overs that are conveniently misunderstood as falls from adapted Tricycles.
As any child unnecessarily experiences(consecutive) tip overs on a therapeutic adapted Tricycle; Please Contact FDA immediately and report(see FDA to right of this page). We will be glad to help, please call us 916-961-6325. Ask your Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Dr. about Tridynamics.
Please call on us with any questions or concerns:
Adapted("non measuring therapeutic")Tricycle tip overs/TBI injuries currently go untreated,unmonitored as well as unreported. The Situation remains extremely complex for many to include FDA, Dr's,Therapists,and generally parents.As well as the children who are adversely affected by the pipeline. (Please help us try and begin to help the children in California WIC 4354 TBI 4731 class children.)
Thank you

PLEASE HELP US HELP THE FDA UPDATE OUTDATED REGULATION OF DANGEROUS THERAPEUTIC MEDICINE DEVICES (Tricycles) FOR CHILDREN.
Please sign the FDA petition to help (families) disabled children currently subjected to avoidable TBI brain injuries due to FDA ( therapeutic medicine )Tricycles tipping over on top of them. Please understand that most all parents etc. do not normally put a helmet on the children and in this way feel responsible. However, Properly understood, a (CPSC toy ?) regulated helmet does not prevent severe shaking or (concussion) TBI brain injuries from happening at any rate finally, parents are not responsible for a (quasi adapted medicine) Tricycle tipping over on top of any child.
FDA REMAINS UNWILLING TO COOPERATE OUTSIDE OF A FORMAL/RIGID(CITIZEN PETITION) PROCESS RE: ADOPTABLE SAFETY STANDARDS AND PROPER REGULATION FOR OUTDATED THERAPEUTIC MEDICINE TRICYCLES. We do appreciate your valuable time. Thank you.
ADAPTED TRICYCLE WARNING!( TRIDYAMIC AND independent operation must never become confused or substituted in any way with FDA's outdated regulation for an intended "non measuring" therapeutic benefit means: A Limited Assist-Operated PRIOR ART TRICYCLE should NEVER become used without parent rear steering handle and or front tow bar along with properly working steering limiter(steering lock) in use. ALWAYS operate Therapeutic TRICYCLES on a Semi flat level surface such as black top or concrete in a recreational setting. ALWAYS Operate AWAY from traffic, shoulders and curbs.
