His arms and legs were stiff and when held standing his knees turned inwards, his legs buckled and his feet distorted. He had a rounded back and moderate head control.

Max is now 19 months and for the past 5 months Nina and Bert, Max's parents, have been working with Peter Walker to help Max become more flexible and to try to help him back into a more normal pattern of development.

Max can now lay comfortably on his tummy, lifting his head with his arms begining to extend. He can sit independently in the first sitting position, and is learning to sit independently in the second. Max has good head control and is now learning to stand upright in a normal fashion.

Below you will find clips on Max's progress. You are welcome to follow his development by viewing these video clips and also get involved with Peter in the Blog.

Hi There,

i am a PT from Hungary, hey Max good job buddy, keep work hard!! I woul comment the video: first of all as I see Max, he need more stability and control of arms and shoulders. Than he MUST learn to crowl in all four!!!!! Than are indicated theese exercises. Standing in this level is not wrong, but the right path would be gaining streght and conntrol on pronation+sitting +crowling and than these. Great job Max!!
