Assisted Sit to Stand: Exercises for a Baby with Low Tone #15

I am producing this video series with my co-instructor, Myla Sunshine, who is a beautiful girl who has low tone and Down syndrome. She lives 250 miles from my house. Her parents were nice enough to allow me, a perfect stranger, to come in and share their daughter with the world. Thank you, again. My name is Amy Sturkey. I am a pediatric physical therapist from the United States. I hope to follow Myla as she develops. I hope to teach ideas to help her learn to move, crawl, sit and walk. I started this video series after questions came in from all over the world from people seeking assistance in helping children with low tone. The ideas I teach in this video are not appropriate for a much weaker child than the one featured in this video. I hope you find this idea useful and simple.

Would you use this type of exercise to help encourage leg extension or learning to bear weight through the legs? My 14 month daughter born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, has low tone and seldom will extend her legs, especially when we hold her up to try and encourage bearing weight through legs. She has the ability to, but doesn't want to or hasn't learned the need to.

Alycia Atriano It is considered unethical for me to provide treatment recommendations for a child I have not personally evaluated. That being said, this is a simple exercises that is applicable to children with many different diagnoses with resultant low tone. I have several other videos in this playlist that might be useful to you. I wish you the best of luck.
