Stay active – with our walking and mobility aids for children and young people.

Finja and Anouk love exploring their surroundings on the rifton tricycle and momo tricycle. Cycling is not only fun – it also strengthens muscles, balance, stamina and overall well-being.

Children with physical disabilities often need targeted support when learning and practising how to walk. Our anterior and posterior gait trainers encourage active, physiologically appropriate movement. Anterior gait trainers are positioned in front of the body and place greater demands on the trunk muscles, while posterior gait trainers provide additional stability and partially support the child’s body weight.

Therapy bikes, tricycles and recumbent trikes give children and young people with disabilities greater mobility and independence. They support motor development, train muscles and coordination, and can help counteract poor posture and muscle tension.

Our walking and cycling aids promote movement, social participation and the enjoyment of exploring the world as independently as possible.

Yes. Suitable walking aids such as the dynamic pacer, malte or marcy from Schuchmann actively support the process of learning or regaining an upright gait. They provide stability without having to carry the child entirely.

Many children benefit from a walking aid from the time they typically start walking (around 12–18 months) if motor difficulties make it hard for them to walk unaided. The exact timing depends on their stage of development and diagnosis.

Personalised colour schemes, integration into play and daily routines, and early use to help the child get used to the device all increase acceptance. Schuchmann walking aids offer various customisation options.

The key difference lies in the riding concept: the momo tricycle has three fixed wheels, thereby offering a high degree of stability at all times. It is suitable for people who require constant additional stability whilst cycling.

The momo therapy bicycle, on the other hand, is a two-wheeled bicycle with specially developed therapy training wheels. These can be individually adjusted from a fixed support function right through to dynamic assistance. This allows balance to be trained gradually, whilst the riding experience is as close as possible to that of a conventional bicycle.

On our YouTube channel, you’ll find helpful instructional videos showing how to assemble the momo range. Among other things, we demonstrate how to fit and remove the push bar, how to fit the crank reducer, how to fit the rear wheel, and much more.
