UNC Health Lenoir therapist helps bring adaptive tricycle to local patient

A partnership between UNC Health Lenoir Outpatient Pediatric Physical Therapy and the Greater Fayetteville Chapter of National AMBUCS is helping bring adaptive tricycles to people with disabilities in the community.

The effort recently helped provide an adaptive tricycle to Tykalah, an 18-year-old with cerebral palsy. According to UNC Health Lenoir, Tykalah received a Paceline 16 Amtryke, giving her a new way to ride outdoors with her family.

Leslie Burton, a pediatric physical therapist at UNC Health Lenoir Physical Therapy, said she reached out to the Greater Fayetteville Chapter of National AMBUCS after learning more about the organization’s work providing adaptive tricycles for children and adults.
