That’s a great question. We do not know you or your child personally and cannot give specific advice for your child’s needs today. This course is not intended to give medical advice for your child.

This course is intended to provide education about the most common challenges that are faced with children who are struggling with mobility. And, this course is designed to provide you as the parent or medical provider with the information you need to be able to ask the right questions, Understand the options available, pursue the right strategies and, find the right team to help you—help your child.

This is a very good question and one that needs to be worked through with experienced medical providers, and, sometimes-some trial and error. The most important thing to remember is that each child is unique and might respond in a different way than another child with a similar condition. This course will help you to recognize when your child is not responding as hoped, and help you pursue options to try a different approach that might work better.

The answer is yes and no… Many of the topics discussed here do certainly apply to adults and children. Adults who struggle with mobility and use/need orthotic care will certainly benefit from the information inside. There are differences though in the amount of impact we can have with adults sometimes.

Children’s bone and joint structure is not yet formed and their future development often depends on the quality of care they receive while growing and developing. We are talking about a complicated discussion regarding CORRECTING deforming forces with children. Children are more malleable and we are often more able to guide growth and development away from deformity.

Adults, and even older children are sometimes unable to fully correct deformity due to the level of growth and ossification which has already occurred. With adults we can certainly make orthotic care which Is very supportive and helpful! But, in many cases we might need to ACCOMMODATE deformity. The sad fact is that the older we get and the longer a limb is in a deformed position, the harder it can be to correct and “undo” damage which might have occurred.

Many of the strategies outlined in this course have certainly been helpful for adults, but, they may need to be modified for a balance of accommodative and corrective support.
