---- CUSTOMIZED ADAPTATION --------- PURPOSE: To create a modified bike for a child with Hypomelanosis of Ito syndrome. A 6-year-old had a congenital dislocation of the left hip which caused stiffness in his hip and one leg to be slightly shorter than the other. While out shopping, the child and his mother saw a bike that was nearly the right size for the child but required modifications for him to keep his left foot on the pedal. TAD volunteers converted the bike from a free wheel to a fixed wheel with foot cups attached to the pedals so the child's feet would stay on the bike. TITLE: Samuel's First Ride. JOURNAL: TAD Journal. REF: Volume 33, Number 1, 2013: p. 9. PAGES: 2 with cover.
