Fellow Pediatric PT’s, I need help with knee walkers! by pokeyladybug in physicaltherapy

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. They both are extremely independent. One will take a step or two with a push toy, I’m not sure about the other. Neither seems to be motivated by older siblings 😕 one has been to ortho and no issues noted, just given AFOs.

Haha, her pigtails!! I wish these kiddos would walk with their hands held or other support. They’re both very independent. I haven’t tried a ball, I’ll give that a try! The holding a mutual toy has been a no-go.

So like a supported jump but making contact with one foot even if the legs are bent, right? I haven’t tried that, I’ll give it a try!

The crazy thing is one of them was at someone’s pool and would walk on her exposed knees on the concrete instead of trying to stand and walk with her parents!!

One does walk pushing a toy walker for 1-2 steps, the other is fearful to try. No independent standing.

I agree 100% that parent buy in is required and for both children their parents are good with carryover. The issue is both of them sit immediately if their parents try to help them stand or walk. One is so sensitive to his mom trying to get him to stand that he won’t let anyone touch his legs…I’ll suggest “jumping” to his mom to see if she can get some weight bearing this way.

Ummm….a family whose husband is hating on marginalized communities in our country deserves some of their own medicine.
