Volumetric improvement (increase in size) sets the sail for development
15 months of ABR exercise gives a big volume and size boost to this child, who has been severely under size and has been having difficulty to grow in size and in weight. She puts on an impressive additional 3.2kg within 6 months ie between Dec 2017 and Jun 2018. That has opened a window of opportunity for the overall reduction of spasticity and dystonia.
There is significant reduction of rigid muscular layer at her back with the clear lateral expansion of her back and her pelvis.
With the improved pelvis, the sitting platform has expanded correspondingly. She therefore has a much more stable platform for her sitting position.
Three main factors contribute to her improved sitting performance:
1. Reduced head arching backwards
2. Stronger trunk and abdomen
3. Expanded sitting platform
15 months ago, her mom was completely unsure and concerned about putting her in sitting position. Her sitting then required 2 persons holding her head and her trunk simultaneously. It was generally a scary event to try to put her into sitting position.
It is quite a different story now. With the improved of the 3 big factors, she is a lot more comfortable when she is placed in sitting position. That at the same time translates into improved sitting performance for her.
Do not miss this opportunity of helping to reduce your child's spasticity and improve his / her mobility.
