The Power Pumper is inspired by the railroad and is now used in more than 400 hospitals and clinics across the country. 

 

The drive and steering mechanism of the Power Pumper helps to strengthen lower and upper muscle groups which has been shown to increase motor skills.The device is designed to provide motion to both extremities and is effective for children who have Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Spina Bifida and other childhood diagnosis. 

 

Since the Power Pumper doesn't look like a 'therapeutic device' children are said to 'love' using it.

 

The following video report takes a look at the device and it's history.
