Toe Walking in Children

Image
  Toe Walking Written by Wendy Kaplan-Lager, PT, C/NDT, a Pediatric Physical Therapist and Prana Practitioner. Most children learn to walk between 12-15 months of age with their feet flat on the ground. Some children who are first learning to walk may walk up on their toes or the balls of their feet. This typically disappears within 3-6 months of regular walking. Habitual toe-walking occurs with children who continue to toe walk beyond the toddler years (after age 2). By age 3, there should not be any residual toe walking. Some parents think it is “cute,” but it needs to be watched and addressed if it persists. Left untreated, children can end up with tight leg muscles, balance and coordination difficulties, and walking problems. Early treatment by a Pediatric Physical Therapist can reduce and prevent Toe walking. At  Physical Therapy 4 Kids , toe walking is one of the more frequent diagnoses treated here with tremendous success. Causes of Toe Walking: Idiopathic/Habitual Toe Walking

Balance and Coordination at PT4Kids

Balance and Coordination at PT4Kids Here we are working on jumping on level surfaces keeping two feet together. Then we are working on alternating feet walking up the stairs. Next, he jumps off with a two-footed takeoff and landing, and the goal is to land on two feet without using his hands to touch the floor. We recently examined his eyes and discovered that he needs glasses that make a massive difference in his balance and coordination. He has made so much progress in Physical Therapy, and we are so proud of him. If your child seems to have balance and coordination issues or difficulty keeping up with their peers, give us a call at Physical Therapy 4 Kids at 914-421-9392 and schedule an evaluation. We are here to help!!! http://physicaltherapy4kids.com/ #Balance #Coordination #physicaldevelopment #physicaltherapy4kids #pt4kids
