Back again with 12 mo (1 year old) red flags in Child Development!

This screener tool is to assist with early identification of developmental concerns impacting day to day functioning.

Hi everyone! It’s Andrea the kids physio again, and meet my sweet little friend in the picture😊

I qualified as a level 1 certified Theratogs Fitter *therapists should be certified to use* and look at our same session results 👀

Photo 1: we weren’t able to sit up without hands on support, highly reliant on arms to balance and certainly not able to divert our attention to playing with toys and fun things in this position.
With just our first layer of strapping we were sitting up to 10 seconds without hands and with the trunk stability to be able to focus on using hands to play!

Photo 2: we have never been able to hold the hands and knees position - the flying Superman position takes over and makes it difficult to push and to move. Basic strapping system and knee support allowed us to hold hands and knees for the first time all by ourself!

What a win 🏆

Looking forward to further customizing this set seeing what further wearable therapy ideas can help support him to achieve his goals also when I am not around ☺️🧡

Muscle tone! 💪🏽
I have had a few parents come in this week having been told their child has low/ high muscle tone but not much further.
The rabbit hole that is google is endless!😬
For those unaware, this is not how ‘toned’ someone’s muscles are like at the gym.
This is the resting tension of the muscles that is driven by the brain 🧠
This contributes to the control, speed and amount of movement we can achieve. It is a sliding scale and both ends can be problematic.
At both sides of this scale paediatric physiotherapy can assess tone and help develop movement skills.
Early intervention is vital and if you ever have concerns as a parent, best to have an assessment 🧡
