Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Tina, My daughter andria (Lexi) has initially "w" sat since she started sitting. Everytime she sits I tell her to move her legs but most times I have to do it. When she wears her leg braces it is almost impossible for her to do. When she is out of them at home we always correct her. Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 always w sits. Always has, always will. I try to correct her if I remember, but she just does again. It helps her sit up because of lack of trunk support. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Oh we have had the same problem for years!!! My solution was I forbad her to sit on the floor at all. She had to sit on a chair or stool and her teachers were all informed of this. W sitting does indeed turn in the feet and hips, and while part of Ash's tortion and clubbing (intoeing underturning) of her feet is congenital, the W sitting certainly exacerbated that. I always noticed she had more difficulty walking after she'd been sitting on the floor and improved after she stopped. Ash has had one surgery to fix her in-turned feet already and is scheduled to have another this summer. It would be worse if I hadn't been such a #$%^ about not letting her sit on the floor. And yes that made her stand out as "different" but she is now 16 and still ambulatory so she'll have the rest of her life to "be like everyone else" instead of in a wheelchair. Gods help me I have promised she can get her driver's license after her foot is healed this summer!! kj De-Arbra 's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Side sitting isn't any good either, it increases scoliosis. kj De-Arbra 's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
