After an hour on the Quadriciser, Nathan & Renee overview the affects it had on Zachary. Then Nathan and Renee try out the Quadriciser to feel the exercise movements and understand what it might be doing for Zachary's spastic tone.

I'm so glad you guys did a follow-up w/the quadriciser. It was great to see how it helped Zach, and to get feedback about what it feels like. Is this something you think you'll continue doing w/Zach? How long did the effects (flat feet, open hands, etc) last, and were there any others that weren't mentioned? Thanks!
Hi Lacey! We would like to continue doing this with Zachary, but are unable to at this time. There are no therapy centers near us that have or utilize this equipment, and we are not in a position to purchase it for in-home equipment either. The results were great and they lasted through the day. Other results that weren't necessarily discussed in depth would have been the rush Zachary got from doing fast physical activity - the normal kind of "rush" the typical children get when they run around and expend a bunch of energy, or that we feel when we go and workout at the gym. It got his blood flowing, his heart rate up and was great for stretching his arms and legs. For someone whose mobility is limited to rolling and army crawling, it was an amazing movement and exercise experience for him. I could see how this would be beneficial to use for Zachary on a daily basis if it were possible.
