Passing on a message for assistance with 5 year old CP patient.

Keith E. Vinnecour CPO

Please cc me with your answers. Thanks. Keith

Our son has cerebral palsy but his only problem is that he cannot walk alone.
He walks really well in a K-Walker although his knees tend to touch each
other and his toes are turned inwards facing each other. If we put our
hands in between his thighs he doesn't have the knees or toes touching. We
live in Malanda in Australia and were wondering if you knew of anyone in
Australia who might be able to make some of the orthotic products that you
do that might be able to help us. We have the David Hart Walker but the
problem with that is that Zac is locked in and if he wants to sit he can't
without someone taking him out of the frame first. He has great upper body
strength as he crawls everywhere. He is 5 years old and was born three
months early. He can ride a tricycle extremely well and is quite fast at
it. We really want him to be independent and want him to do some weight
bearing so that his ankles and lower leg muscles can develop further If you
know of anything that might be of any help to us could you please let us
know. Our email is <Email Address Redacted>
