How to Teach Sitting Balance: Pediatric PT for Babies #22

Описание: This video instructs families with a baby with developmental delay how to work with their baby. My name is Amy Sturkey, PT. I am a pediatric physical therapist in the US. I made these videos originally to give ideas to families who want to help their baby with Microcephaly due to the Zika virus. This video teaches a simple technique in how to work on your baby's sitting balance. I taped this video specifically for families with a child with Microcephaly; however, this technique could be used with any child with a developmental delay who in not yet balancing in sitting. I hope you find this idea useful and simple to follow through. Note: This exercise suggestion is only appropriate for a child who has skills similar to Colton. If the child has skill much worse or much better than Colton, then this exercise is no longer appropriate.
