#40 How I Think about Wheelchair Alignment: Exercises for a Child with Cerebral Palsy

Sebastian is positioned in this video in a R82 x:panda seating system. Here is a link to the seating system. I have no affiliation with R82. http://www.r82.org/products/seating/x... Meet Sebastian. He is a young boy with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. His family wants to help me share treatment suggestions to help children like him across the world. My clinic, Child and Family Development, in Charlotte, NC, allowed me to use their facilities and their equipment to showcase Sebastian's skill and charming personality. We review techniques to reduce stiffness, encourage strength and control. I think you'll love spending time with him. Thank you to this family and my clinic for allowing this to happen. I also have available 3 children's educational books, "A is for Autism," "D is for Down Syndrome," "C is for Cerebral Palsy," and now 2 professional books "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Hips", and "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Knees" available on Amazon. I have forthcoming "A is for ADHD" as well. If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Please note: I am unable to provide treatment suggestions for a child I have not personally evaluated. I am so honored to have people from all over the world watch my videos. I have reviewed and corrected the closed captions for this video so that you might understand what I am saying even if you don't speak English. I hope the directions below are helpful to you. To turn on Captions, click CC in the bottom right corner of the video To choose a different caption language: At the bottom right, click Settings. It looks like a wheel. Click Subtitles/CC. Select a language. If the language isn't listed when you click Subtitles/CC: Click Auto-translate. Select a language. Of course, if the captions are in the way of viewing the details in the video, you can always turn them off in the bottom right-hand corner of your video screen.
