Guest guest Posted November 3, 1999 Report Share Posted November 3, 1999 Tara (EvC) also scooted rather than crawl. Her arms were too short for her to crawl. The therapist had no real concerns about this. And she went straight from scooting to walking. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 1999 Report Share Posted November 3, 1999 ---snip--- From: Vita Gagne <rgagne@...> Alyce has already told us that SEMD babies do the " scoot " , but do other types of LP babies do this regularly? ---snip--- Hi Vita!! As a young child, my independent source of locomotion was " the scoot " also. For the record, I am diagnosed with Ellis van Creveld Syndrome (EvC), alternative title is Chondroectodermal Dysplasia. Among an assortment of dazzling illusions, our kids, diagnosed with achondroplasia, naturally prefer the " commando crawl " . Don't get me started on unnecessary PT!! Yikes!! ------------------------------- Bill, & Kids Aucott@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta and I scooted for a long time before I walked. In fact I still do scoot after recovering from a broken leg, it keeps me mobile and gives me a little exercise. April --- K7838@... wrote: > Tara (EvC) also scooted rather than crawl.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 yeah I scooted before I crawled too. My grandfather always called me " Judy Scoots " and that has been on of my nicknames my whole life. I even had " Scoots " put on the side of my GPV sports wheelchair. Take care, Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be doing something to my metabolism. I was having a problem not sweating until now. The bad thing is that kids stare at me out of cars. At least they don't laugh. You can always jump off if the going gets rough. All scooters are not created equal. Some glide better, but I'm going to try oiling the wheels and see if it makes this one go better. I had a homemade skateboard forty years ago. It was roller skate wheels nailed to a board--times change! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 P.S. The B models of the Razor have longer t-tubes (my daughter's Razor knock-off variety has that standard height adjustable handlebar tube which seems a little low for me). The B's have larger bases also--I'm ok with the normal base size. The Racer X20 is what we have--I have tried a Tranzx which had better gliding. I haven't tried a Razor as yet. J.
