Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Hi , one of my neighbors has a trampoline for her kids it is a high one, she makes the kids wear helmets on it (to protect from falling off and banging the head) she also makes sure an adult is out there spotting when the kids are jumping.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Just a thought -- if you have room and are not in a flood plain or have a high water table, you might consider countersinking the trampoline several feet into the ground. You might need to put in a drain field so that rain doesn't collect & stagnate. Again, probably might be too expensive. nne ----- Original Message ----- From: <jacee17@...> <egroups> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2000 8:16 AM Subject: Re: [] Trampolines > In a message dated 4/14/00 4:53:58 AM Pacific Daylight Time, > nene@... writes: > > << There are " cages " that can be bought the circle the edges of the trampoline > and go way up.

It was something I could do even with my drop foot. I rarely hurt myself and I never jumped so high or wrong that I flew off the trampoline..... Most injuries on trampolines are when there is more than one person jumping att a time. It is so neat that he can use the trampoline..... I no longer have the correct muscle to jump on a trampoline.... It might be good to continue as long aas he can in order to keep those muscles active..... I know you will make the correct choose....

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 When my son was much more sensorily disordered and hyper, he did much better after jumping on the mini-trap or doing other sorts of physical activity. He hasn't had a trampoline to jump on for over a year now since the old one broke. However, now that you mention it, he might find getting a new one helps.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 No he sure isn't. I sometimes think briefly of that, but it quickly escapes my mind. But he does love deep proprioceptive input - squishing, deep pressure, etc. He doesn't particularly show that many signs, though, of sensory problems that stand out as classic to me .... but then, he did last year - tepid water was 'hot', any little bump 'hurt'... while he was deep in CFIDS. I was thinking that it is dysautonomia, though. That's one of the things trampolines can help regulate from what I read. He has this breathing dysregulation too (which I think can be part of the symptom but I haven't looked it up lately) - sighs and 'gasps' and stuff, and it comes and goes without obvious triggers. I know he's going to have a rough time when I hear him start doing this. It's not anxiety that I can tell, though I do think he's more anxious and irritable when it's happening. I wouldn't be surprised if dysautonomia and sensory dysregulation go together or are one and the same. Thanks for the suggestion... --- Ann Osterling <aosterling@...> wrote: > Is working with an OT for sensory > integration/self-regulation > issues?
