Back Extension is one of the first muscle groups that develop strength. In sitting, you have to learn to balance the muscles all around the trunk. This can be really hard to learfor the kids who get stuck in the extension strategy. I work on this a lot wit Everett. Maybe his playlist will help kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjPqgM4rbEV8G1bMdC1Dyzaw&si=_BFjsDt1r9HZ1ygK

Certainly Torticollis is an imbalance in strength around the neck. You have to improve the range of movement and the strength in all directions

Generally, people are better with movements of all types in forward space than backward space. We have more experience with forward space than backward space. As well, when your foot is in the front you’re able to weight bear through your foot with the bottom of your foot. When your foot is up in the back, you are weight-bearing with the top of your foot, which is much less helpful.

It is considered clinically significant if a child is not walking by 18 to 23 months. I recommend you find a local therapist who can guide you. In the meantime, possibly my learning to walk playlist will give you some suggestions that you have not thought of before kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjMq8hiEu5wCUGDKAsar_F0A&si=xOACa_mldh2tzLqG Is

⁠@@pediatricPTexercisesthank you so much he had before PT but they said he doesn’t need now they give it to him walking frame but he doesn’t want to use l don’t know what to do

And how many times l need to practice during the day

Maybe this video will answer your question #20 How Long Should I Do These Exercises with my Child?: Ask A Pediatric PT a Question kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3uQcounotuojJY

In my experience, that is the age that it starts getting more difficult to motivate them. Try to use what interests them to your advantage. Wishing you luck

I see your point. Unfortunately, there is a character limit for the title.

I would start with the easiest ones such as the wall push ups. Wit my clients with hemiplegia we did these countertop push ups wit assist to the trunk and the weaker arm

I could not believe my ears. Thank you for taking the time to watch this.

Thank you so much for such a lovely compliment. I really appreciate that so much. I wish you a wonderful new year and thanks for watching. Life gets better for sure 👍🏾 thank you again and take care!

C, thank you for responding

Thank you for watching this video. I found it jaw dropping. I don’t know the details of that but I imagine we will discuss that in a future video

Hello Lee! Thank you very much for your comment. In terms of how does Massachusetts and the rest of the country let this happen, I would like to give you a short answer. I was made aware of some housing vouchers that were available to young people who experienced homelessness. There weren’t that many that would come up and I have no idea how the selection process would happen. I did have help applying to those but never got selected. Likewise to get a bed in a youth shelter for night times. It was a lottery withdrawal and I never got selected. What I noticed systemically is if you went for housing options you’d get stuck when it came to credit checks and references as well. I would still be homeless if it wasn’t for a single woman who decided to put her foot down and navigate the larger system for me. You’ll hear more about her soon. The other thing that caused my homelessness to persist was even when I had employment rent cost more than my monthly income. I remained homeless for quite some time because I didn’t know that my disabilities would aid in my application. I even worked with a social worker at Spaulding hospital but the issues came down to availability. There’s not enough vouchers and units for folks experiencing homelessness. One thing I will let people know when Massachusetts has temperatures below -10 and worse with wind chill is that one big homeless shelter called pine street , will open their doors and people sleep on the floors and without beds but that’s considered just for life saving measure. I never went inside though because I was worried about getting robbed

@@ALACGltd C, thank you for taking the time to answer that question so well!

@ happy to try to explain. Have a lovely day!

No worries! Everett and I have plenty to share!

You are so welcome!

I am sorry to let you know that Sebastian passed away about two years ago

@pediatricPTexercises i am sorry to hear that. 😔 but does this kind of CP has life expectancy?

Generally the less mobile you are the shorter the life expectancy. Everyone is different though. We all have an end date. Cherish every minute and spread love!

By six months, a baby should have good head control. I recommend you find a local pediatric therapist who can assist you. Here is my head control playlist.

I am hoping the next video will be released soon. Keep watching for it.

@ Looking forward to it! You are both great :)

@ thank you so much. It means a lot to me. Amy is wonderful and kind.

I recommend you find a local therapist who can customize a program to your son. If this is indeed mild cerebral palsy, no genetic test is needed. I recommend in general that you work on weight shift to that leg and strengthening with stretching to make sure that he does not develop range of motion limitations. All those details would be best figured out with the assistance of a local therapist

Yes Mam we saw a local therapist and he told there is stiffness in calf musclesand hip joint..How to cure it Mam..Already I am giving him physiotherapy they have suggested...

With Ilya, they held him in flexed positions to discourage the extended postures. Kids with reflux often extend due to the discomfort

You will be happy to hear that Ilya is doing fine now. He outgrew it. Here is his playlist Pediatric Physical Therapy with a Child with Torticolllis, Prematurity, Plagiocephaly kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjOe_0TzQ-5tHANgHjeBzjui

My first recommendation is always that you see a local therapist. But if that is not possible, maybe some of the videos in my playlist will assist your brother. General Recommendations are for babies sleep on their back. Torticollis Treatment kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjOS1oT3rtE8PzHf_KL-dAz9

I recommend you find a local therapist who can evaluate your child and provide a customize program specific to your child to develop your child’s hand strength.

My first recommendation is that you find a local pediatric therapist who can assist you. Maybe in the meantime, this playlist will provide you some suggestions for learning sitting. Sitting balance kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjMV5czJ3ZRd6JWW8Joh3qgH

Do you have an IG account I can message you to see if you can help me

There is no way that I can help you adjust a stander from a distance. I would ask the company that delivered it to send someone who did know how to adjust it. Or I would find a local therapist to help you. Or I would watch every video on this stander from the manufacturer or I would call the company that manufactured the stander to see what resources they have

What you need is a local therapist who can evaluate your son and determine the best treatment protocol based on the evaluation results. Without evaluating your son there is no way that I can provide that service for you. On my channel I have a lot of different playlists, that teach different types of skills, such as sitting. Maybe in the playlist there will be suggestions that will help you in the meantime. I also followed for several years a boy with significant involvement. Maybe his videos will be helpful for you. I hope you can find a local therapist. Pediatric Physical Therapy for a Child with Cerebral Palsy kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjOdH92UyJNlOHbB_bIvOsnk

My strongest recommendation is for you to find a local therapist who can help you. On my KZbin channel there are a variety of playlists that address specific skills, such as sitting. Maybe some of these videos will be of assistance for you. As well, I have a playlist in which I follow an older boy with very significant involvement, who also could not sit independently.

This may be clonus. You need to consult with a local therapist

@pediatricPTexercises is this serious

If it is clonus, it is significant and means you need closer management

@@pediatricPTexercises means i don't understand what you want to say sorry

You need to get your child evaluated

Oh, that makes me so happy. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. Here is the rest of their playlist. Twins, Eli and Ellia, born late preterm kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjMHzxJBJ5Fa0XYo-yiNGT3C

It is considered problematic if a child always looks to one side. I recommend you consult with the local therapist to determine ways. Your child will tolerate stretching then the tight muscle muscles and strengthening the opposing muscles. Here is my Torticollis playlist. Hopefully it will be helpful for you in the meantime. I show a wide variety of ways to do the stretching. Maybe one of them your child will tolerate Torticollis Treatment kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjOS1oT3rtE8PzHf_KL-dAz9

My first recommendation is that you contact a local therapist who can assist you in customizing. In the meantime, maybe my transitioning into standing playlist may be helpful for you Transition In and Out of Standing kzbin.info/aero/PLAkJbMrHyKjM1llP4H__xPvtRv2S2ZvFz

So glad, glad, glad that you like it

Thank you for your kind words. I take them into my heart. 4-6 months is considered ideal for banding. Face asymmetries improve best when babies are younger but still can as older with the aggressive positioning. I have a cranial banding video that I still need to produce. Thanks for the motivation

Hmmm. Well, I believe they are not recommended by the American Medical Association because of the risk of injury. If you decide to do it you would want to make sure that they could not push with their legs enough to cause damage to themselves on the door frame. They also need the head control to be safe. In general, physical therapists are not proponents of “containers” and think free play and exploration are best. You will need to make your own decision.

@ They do make them with frames now and adjustable height levels so they’re just not on their toes and using their whole feet to push off… I think I’ll try it. It could only help with the tone of their lower extremities not for long periods of time.

Well, the first thing you need to determine is why the baby is not doing that. Is it because they can’t see well? Is it because they don’t have the energy, do they have heart problems? Are they not interested in what is around them? Are they ill? Are they too weak? Do you need to have more easily activated toys and objects around them? Often I will try increasing sensory input for these children. Making sure parents are talking to them a lot. Playing different music, reading stories, singing songs, Doing infant massage. Trying providing different tactile input. Try different mediums such as seeing how they react in the water. These would all be things that would be best problem solved with a local therapist.

Thank you for your love!

True, true, true
