Max - Diagnosed mild to moderate Cerebral
Palsy Hypotonic
At 14 and a half months Max was unable to sit. His
arms and legs were stiff and when held standing his knees turned inwards, his legs buckled and his feet
distorted. He had a rounded back and moderate head control.
Max is now 19 months and for the past 5
months Nina and Bert, Max’s parents, have been working with Peter Walker to
help Max become more flexible and to try to help him back into a more normal pattern
of development.
Max can now lay comfortably on his tummy, lifting his head with his arms begining to extend. He can sit independently in the first sitting position, and is learning to sit independently in the second. Max has good head control and is now learning to stand upright in a normal fashion.
Below you will find clips on Max’s
progress. You are welcome to follow his development by viewing these video
clips and also get involved with Peter in the Blog.
