Here are photos from Mary's PT session on Wednesday. She got great numbers on her knee and ankle extensions! The PT thinks she is doing really well and is back to where she was in June before she had her first infection causing the first set back. He even said we can start working her knee and ankle at the same time now.
 |
| "Tummy Time"- works knee extension |
 |
| Tummy Time with leg off the table- working ankle |
 |
| PT noticed how long her leg is now (when its straight :-) ) |
 |
| New exercise: Mary lifts leg up as high as she can and counts for 5 |
 |
| "Stand Talls" works on pushing heel to the ground and straightening knee |
 |
| Look how close the heel is to the ground!!! |
 |
| Measuring ankle at the end of PT: 4 degrees (A week ago she was at 15 and the goal is 0)! |
 |
| Measuring knee extension: 20 degrees (it had been 30 and the goal is 0)! |
Below is a video of Mary walking really well! We are struggling on how to get her to do this all of the time, not just during PT. Any suggestions...it's hard to break old habits!
