WingMan Multi-Sport

The Wingman Multi-Sport® is ideally suited for Physical therapy applications like gait training, treadmill training, bike training, pool therapy, hippotherapyt, sitting support and transitions from one object to the next. It provides optimal truncal support without being in the way of the patient and allowing them the maximum use of their bodies but still having the secruity and support needed. It is also great in individual sports such as biking, skate boarding, roller skating, in-line skating, ice skating, to include hockey, and skiing. These sports require balance and control of torso and limbs together. The Wingman Multi-Sport® allows you, the parent or coach, to be in a supportive role by having control as needed of the torso, the major component of balance. This also allows you to be in a position to reduce falls and injuries since you are supporting the child or athlete as needed. By being in control of the torso alone, you allow your individual to work on control of the hips, legs and arms and allow total head control. With this approach, the individual, not the parent or coach, is in control of the sporting equipment. This enables the child to learn motor control faster and more efficiently than what typically happens when the parent or coach has a hand on the bike or skate board, or holding the child's hands to keep them upright; the child and parent are literally fighting for control. The old way is antagonistic but with the Wingman Multi-Sport® you are in synergy and the result is a faster development and more complete mastery of the sporting equipment. The Wingman Multi-Sport® provides the perfect balance to split the control between the parent or coach and the child or athlete. For high end athletes it works well as a trainer for resistance work. It is currently used in university and olympic level training centers. One of the best benefits you will notice is a greater sense of security while doing these physical activities. Our patients with disabilities state a sense pride being able to do many things with out the therapist in their way. The children we have trained with the Wingman Multi-Sport state they feel a greater sense of security when using the Wingman Multi-Sport®. They often remark "Daddy's got me" or "Mommy's got me" and you truly do. Parents tell us they felt more secure as well since they have positive control of the child's body and can really focus on their child instead of the equipment (bike, board, skates, etc.). The high end athletes comment on the comfort and correct positions of the attachement points to proivde maximum resistance without interference with their hips and legs. The Wingman Multi-Sport® is made of the highest quality materials and is designed to be very sturdy. The stitching is safety harness grade and the webbing is comfortable to wear. This product is designed to last for many years and the smaller size can be used by many kids in the same family. Its adjustability allows use with children 3-10 years of age and up to 88 lbs. The larger size is good for adolescents to adults.
