Great design. Thanks for posting.

Does she have movement in her rear feet? I see that your design allows her feet to touch the floor. Do her feet drag on the floor when she moves. I've seen other designs that have stirrups that lift the feet off the floor if they are completely paralyzed/immobile.

We built a PVC wheelchair and used a pool noodle for padding in the saddle.

thank's it's a boy he had no movement when I built it so I put his feet up on the back lower bar but I MADE SURE THE FEET WOULD TOUCH THE GROWND in the grass only or in the house he now will push and go with his back leg's but only just for the last 2 weeks or so the rings for the legs move up and down so he can stand up. Just a old belt screwed to it for around the chest and he will jump off my porch and clear 2 steps running for ice cream but you may need to tie legs up sometimes THAT'S HIS BROTHER THE BLACK ONE AJ he help's
