SECTION 07:
CONTRA-INDICATIONS & CAUTIONS
Please review the contra-indications and
cautions highlighted in the MyWay user
manual. The following apply, in addition
to those for the MyWay, when using the
MyWay Pedal.
Contra-indications:
• Children with significant leg length
discrepancy or asymmetry which precludes
from reciprocal contact with the sandals
when pedalling.
• Children with cardio-respiratory conditions
which may be exacerbated by aerobic
exercise such as pedalling.
Cautions:
• Closely supervise child at all times
during use.
• Never force pedal movements when
child's feet are placed in sandals.
• For use on flat surfaces only –
not for uneven ground or gradient.
• Ensure children displaying hyperextension
of knees out of the device flex knees as
pedals rise.
• Ensure no harness slippage for children
with device fed through the abdominal
wall, such as PEG, gastrostomy,
or abdominal device in situ such as
Baclofen pump.
• Ensure children with compromised
respiratory function, who may experience
increased effort of breathing due to fit
of harness are breathing freely
(for physiotherapist to monitor effort of
breathing, colour and respiratory rate).
• Ensure child does not initially over-use the
MyWay Pedal without build-up of tolerance
as this presents a risk of muscle strain.
• Review use of MyWay Pedal for children
with significant learning disability or
behavioural issues with risk of possible
injury to the child and/or carer.
• The data presented by the app is for
reference only. Therapists should use
their own professional judgement when
determining appropriate therapy and
activity for a child.
