  • Frame Runners
  • Attachments for fishing such as the Fishing Palm Cuff and the Reel Deal
  • Attachments for golfing such as the Able Arm
  • Sound Soccer Balls
  • Playing cards with Braille and large print
  • Assistive gaming attachments

Frame Running

Who should use a frame runner?

 

Thanks to the generosity of the Reeve Foundation, the UATP was able to purchase 8 different Frame Runners, with sizes from mini to extra large, that are available for loan. 

Frame running is an adaptive sport that enables individuals with mobility challenges to run using a three-wheeled frame with a seat and handlebars for support. Designed for people with coordination and balance impairments, the device allows athletes to move their legs freely while maintaining balance and stability. The sport promotes cardiovascular fitness, coordination, and independence, offering participants a chance to compete, train, and enjoy physical activity in a way that traditional running does not always permit. 

Frame running is a Paralympic track and field event, but frame runners are also used for recreation, fitness training and other competitive events.

To borrow a Frame Runner (up to 4 weeks), visit AT4All. If the size you need is not listed, call our toll free number at 1-800-524-5152 to request a different size.
