This kiddo has a rare chromosomal disorder called 8p inversion duplication deletion syndrome. We have been working on sit to stand during therapy and during this session we are working on a forward weight shift in order to attain standing. She is somewhat propped on the edge of a chair cushion, giving her the best chance to activate her gluts and also giving her a small range to work from perched sitting to standing. She is wearing a type of AFO of which you may not be familiar. It is called a Ground Reaction Ankle-Foot Orthosis (GRAFO). We are using this device to try to optimize her knee control and maximize her ability achieve greater hip and overall trunk extension in standing.
