DAY 94

Today at therapy N walked some with the sticks (with assistance) and then the focus turned to helping her get into better alignment. As you can see in these videos, she is wearing knee immobilizers to help with straight legs instead of crouching, snow shoes to keep her from putting her weight forward (and easier to slide on the carpet seeing that knee immobilizers complicate walking), and a swash to help her from clinching her knees and thighs together and give her better hip alignment (you can see on the video of her walking with the sticks down the hallway with me her left hip keeps leading out).

So in therapy with all these supports to help with proper movements she practices walking without using her hands for support by having the therapist behind her for balance support if needed and then with the giant ball, also for balance but would definitely not work to support her weight as it would cause the ball toroll away from her. She's a bit tired by the 2nd video but I wanted to share it because I expect to be able to show improvements in the near future.
