Three Track - Instructional progressions are used for those individuals
who have the strength to independently support themselves, to balance, and
to coordinate movements while standing upright on one
(strong-non-impaired) leg. Generally these individuals ambulate
independently with or without the use of assistive aides (forearm
crutches). Three trackers - ski standing on one ski while using two handheld outriggers (forearm crutches with skis attached at the base of
the crutch). The handheld outriggers provide the second and third points
of contact on the snow, assist with static and dynamic balance as well as
helping to achieve desired dynamic skiing movements.
A partial list of
those who would use 3-Track methods includes: persons with lower extremity
amputations, or congenital limb deficiency, post-polio syndrome, etc.
