can someone please help me find free games for my son's eye gaze? We just got it and are learning how to use it. We found some games but they are too expensive for us. Are there any free eye gaze games we could download on it?
Love this! I have Cerebral palsy and I wear two hearing aids 😊
The best video yet in my search for toe walking examples. An in shoes demonstration is something I have been looking for
Wonderful! Thank you for the feedback
Hello, I have a 8 month old baby who still has her hands clenched except when feeding or asleep. She opens her right hand when reaching but not so much on the left side. She can suck on both of them too although it’s a bit difficult for her to actually play with her toys. We’re still looking for a neurologist/neuro-dev pediatrician but for the meantime, do you have any hand therapies for babies who often have their hands in fists? She rarely uses them together as well (like playing with her hands for example). Hopefully we could get some insight from you as we’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Thank you so much. Blessed be.
I hope you can find a local therapist who can assist you. In the meantime, maybe this playlist will help you. Reaching/Grasping Skills kzread.info/head/PLAkJbMrHyKjNh_TJdZBEnMra-UR_NfvlL
Thank you mam my doughter 10 years not head control please help me mam
I recommend you consult with a local pediatric therapist who can assist you and your daughter. In the meantime, here is my head control playlist. On this playlist, the videos with Sebastian might be the most helpful for you. Head Control kzread.info/head/PLAkJbMrHyKjNf7b1x0fPKdDimNNG2zfPj
Is this just holding them like that to see their natural reaction, or should you try to get their attention on something that would require them lifting up?
You are looking for their natural reaction
So helpful! Could you give us the average scores and ranges for higher month categories?
When you are older, normal lateral flexion range of motion is considered 45°.
You mentioned when they're 3 months old, you measure them differently. Is it that once they can hold up their head better that you have them sitting up, and hold the goniometer over their head?
Yes
This was very helpful, thank you!!
Wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to let me know
Hi Amy, you’re truly wonderful! Thank you for all that you do. How can I contact you directly? Been searching for an email address. Overseas mum here:)
My email is in the video description. Please remember that I am unable to provide treatment recommendations for a child. I have not personally evaluated.
Helmets have to be used 24*7 ? Will that cause any issues while sleeping ?? For my 4 n half month baby.
I have not heard complaints about difficulty sleeping for babies with helmets
Arm should be in full adduction or half abduction ?
Either is probably OK, but half Abduction seems like it would set the baby up for propping on elbows better
Will you pls tell me how many time we should repat this
I typically do each 3 times.
Hello mam can i do this excercise on my one year baby i just found out that my baby rib are so high than usual??
I would have no way of knowing if this exercises appropriate for your baby. You will need to consult with a local therapist to determine if specifically your child would benefit from this exercise.
Your videos are great 😃
Thank you for the encouragement
I don’t understand how she can be gmfcs 3/4 while this Asian female (Whitney ?) is also 4 ? This female is almost „normal „
This is on the gross motor function classification scale. So yes, Jessica can speak and make conversation well. However, she only walks therapeutically with a walker and otherwise uses a power wheelchair for mobility.
hi, My 10month old nephew diagnosed with microcephaly and waisting. Right now, he still can't crawl. He can only roll using his head once on his on belly and can't control. He have arm streanght to and leg strenght as I observe but he still can't coordinate his leg and arms to crawl. We just relay on a public hospital for children for checkups and here in the Philippines . I hope you can suggest some PT program for him because we can't afford a PT

What would you like to know?
In case it’s mild, do we need the helmet?
Not everyone needs a helmet. Head shape can improve in very young infants. Assessment is typically free. I would recommend that
Reminds me so much of my son. If you are like me trying to learn all you can about CP. Check out the app TurnTo. Its free and has been a great resource for me!
Thank you for that resource

He’s doing so well and what amazing progress.
This mother has worked really hard!
I was told my child didn't have torticollis by my pediatrician, however, he preferred his head to the right. He could move his head both ways, but was always to the right when sleeping. He now has plagiocephaly that has gotten noticeable. We've worked on neck and head rotation, he's doing better, but he's now 4.5 months and still isn't rolling. I've noticed he's very stiff in his trunk, and has a hard time reaching, especially reaching in front when on tummy. He's barely moving his left arm. I've been trying to do the trunk rotation and it's so hard since he does not sit still, and throws his weight around a lot.
I recommend you find a local pediatric therapist who can assist you
I'm 37 and I think I'm an undiagnosed toe walker mild to moderate. It's much more noticeable in bare feet. My pediatrist says my feet and calves are overly ridgid. All he can suggest is "shockwave therapy" for thousands more dollars. I have terrible hip pain since childhood with dozens of different nonsense diagnosis... Every doctor has something else to sell me yet none of it helps and I'm completely out of money to keep giving to them. They all want to cut me somewhere different . I was born strangled and blue with my umbilical cord around my neck which can't be great.
I recommend a physical therapist. They usually don’t want to cut you.
He is not tall enough to sit on exercise ball fully inflated too big
I use this size balls with this size child frequently. You should only use a ball that you feel comfortable with though
I have no ball so what i substitue

I really wish my pediatrician stressed how important this is to be treated and explained it thoroughly.. she said I could go to therapy but I could do it home too. Now my son’s torticollis is worse.
He’s 5 months now and his right side mass is the size of maybe two peas? I did notice he was positioned head down as soon as 5 months pregnant and never moved from that position
You can still effectively start therapy
@@pediatricPTexercises thank you, I made him an appointment yesterday after your video. Is it okay for me to change his doctor at the same facility? Or is it looked down upon??
@@nancypalacios9840 I think as a parent that you have to consider what is best for your child. It’s important to advocate for what your child needs. If this means switching doctors, so be it in my humble opinion.
She would take the ball home if you don't need it anymore
Oh, I still need it
🥰
He is so sweet isn’t he?
Hi.what about flat head?is there a treatment
Cranial banding addresses head shape. Physical therapy addresses the movement problem causing the head shape
I know it’s dependent upon the severity but how soon after starting exercises/stretches should you see improvements?
Often, I can see improvements by the next session, which is usually a week away
Good job John!!
Yes!!! He did great!
What type of buckets do you use?
Looks like they are school smart, stepping buckets Balance builders

This is SO important! I am 60 years old with mild CP, that went largely ignored from about age 14 on. I thought I had experienced all the limitations I was going to have. Then in my 50s I developed an unexplained early bladder failure. It did not occur to me to even consider premature aging as a result of my cerebral palsy. My urologist just said following extensive testing that he could not explain why someone at my young age has the bladder of an 80-year old. Likewise I had previously gone to a physical therapist around age 50 due to hip and back pain because my hips were out of alignment. When I struggled to perform basic pelvic exercises the male therapist seemed dumfounded and actually said, "I thought you said you had kids? It is similar to that motion. How can you not understand that function?" Said in a guy to guy funny kind of way. I was so humiliated, I never went back to him. Then another physical therapist referred me to a Neuro-physical therapist who was amazing! She was the first person to explain that all of these issues were linked to my cerebral palsy that was presenting advanced symptoms as I got older. So here I was in my 50's suddenly re-engaging in research and information on cerebral palsy as a middle-aged man. I am not sure if I was previously in denial, but I finally had an explanation for my chronic joint pain and bladder failure. I never considered myself disabled because I was not in a wheelchair. I had always had a pronounced limp and loss of muscle control on my left side, with slow motor skills, but my speech and quick wit were always intact. Hearing this news at 57 from a neuro-therapist was a Godsend. I finally had an answer and I cried tears of joy from relief because it wasn't anything stupid I had done to cause that. Rather, it was just who I was. I was born that way, and that brought so much peace of mind. Now I embrace and own my disability and am so glad there is a community of people, like me discussing this. Thank you for sharing this story.
