What kind of a walker is this and what is it called?

[@SolShinePhysicalTherapy]

Hi, it is a posterior walker and there a many brands in the market. This posterior walker or gait trainer helps to bring the pelvis more forward while she is pushing with her hands.

Hey I am a engineer and I was wondering if u can tell how the legs twist and what u think can help to keep stable I am developing a new support system to help patients with the same problems

[@SolShinePhysicalTherapy]

Hi, the legs can twist from the hips or the knees. This could be due to lack of muscle activation or high/low muscle tone (which is how prepared is the muscle for action). The girl in this video has a diagnosis of spina bifida, which is an injury in her spinal cord. This causes that certain muscles are affected because the nerves do not activate them, and this creates compensations. I love electrical stimulation because it activates those muscles, and with repetition the kid learns how to activate them by themselves. Also, there is something called de-rotators which is like a elastic strap to bring the legs in more alignment, and so keeps the joints healthier to prevent future osteoarthritis. I hope this helps! Good luck developing the new support system!

[@labracing3839]

Were would u recommend support brackets?

[@mohamadking8118]

I have had this disease for 18 years, my feet are twisting from the hip region I currently use a walking stick because the disease affects my feet negatively.

I have had this disease for 18 years. Unfortunately, I did not find a cure for it. Currently, I have difficulty walking. I use a walking stick to walk.

[@SolShinePhysicalTherapy]

Hi, thanks so much for sharing your experience! In this video, we are sharing this little girl's experience using electrical stimulation and doing infant physical therapy. She has gain motor control and now she is walking with a walker to assist with balance. It could be worth checking with your Doctor to get a referral to physical therapy.

[@lorireece1970]

I have spina bifida as well. It is not a disease. It is not transmitted.

[@mohamadazam2545]

She is cute 🥰

[@-MiaClapham-]

I have spina bifida but it's very minor and I didn't even know until I had a xray on my hip lol

[@kimberleetomlinsonpapadaki4314]

Whpo pays for that expensive life long treatment? Taking Folic Acid during pregancy would have prevented this problem.

[@lorireece1970]

Taking folic acid might’ve helped, but there’s no guarantee.

[@unknown09000]

I’m sorry but your comment is ignorant ! Sometimes even taking it before conceiving can be a fluke!
