INTENDED USE

The MyWay Pedal, which attaches to the
MyWay, enables children to pedal in an
upright position, working lower limb muscles
in the range of movement the child would
use during stepping and other functional
activities.

The Leckey Connect app captures movement
data to help measure a child’s ability,
capture progress and compare performance
over time.

MyWay Pedal is intended for use by
children displaying an abnormal walking
pattern as a result of muscle weakness, or
who require a supportive walking device;
children with cerebral palsy GMFCS levels
II-IV (and possible level V depending on
range of movement); children displaying
crouch gait involving muscle imbalance/
anti-gravity weakness; children with general
low muscle tone, weakness and lack of joint
stability; children displaying asymmetry of
lower limb muscle tone or mild/moderate
hemiplegia; children pre or post-intervention
e.g. Botulinum Toxin treatment or long term
following lower limb surgery.

The MyWay Pedal is suitable for use with
the Size 2 and Size 3 MyWay. With the
Size 2, it is suitable for users up to 50kgs
and a shoulder height of 1090mm.

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.
