Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Being only 4'3 " with achondroplasia, pedal extensions are a daily part of my life. There are several different companies that we in the dwarf community use. Each of them have their own style and it is simply a matter of finding what is most comfortable and whether or not they need to be removeable. Here are a few companies: EASY RIDER PEDAL EXTENSIONS, updated 9/15/98 (I use these!) Chuck Secor e-mail: cmsecor@... PO Box 251677 Glendale CA 91225-1677 voice FAX http://www.pedalextenders.com/ KOMO EXTENSIONS, updated 2/8/04 Krywonos 1087 Klem Rd Webster NY 14580-8628 voice e-mail: okrywon1@... INTERACTIVE DRIVING SYSTEMS / SMART VIEW MIRRORS http://pages.prodigy.com/idsinc/sviewlp.htm Casey Hubelbank 36 Kaye Rd West Haven CT 06516-6535 voice e-mail: hubelbank@... Also, depending on the length of the arms they may need to have their air bag turned off.... For that go to the U.S. Department of Transportation and fill out the request. Their are many companies that then can do that for you. Sometimes you state rehabilitation program will pay for all or some of the adaptive products needed to help you or your child become independent. There are also motorcycle adaptations that can be made....here are a few more companies that may be of help for you.
