Hello All,
Has anyone done bracing specifically for W Sitting? I've had one of our
pediatric therapists approach me with this specific question for one of her
challenged pre-schoolers that sits in this position when on the floor,
either out of habit, for stability, or just plain stubbornness.
Most current suggestions are to use some type of seating pad while on the
floor, keep the feet and knees together, but I don't know, or haven't heard
of an orthosis just for this issue.
Appropriate responses appreciated and forwarded.
