This was such an exciting therapy session. The entire left side was working so great.
You can see the hand grasp and the ankle dorsiflexion and toe extension, all on her left side.
I started to stimulate both her right and left triceps in all fours holding before this. Reason was, I found she needed to activate her “unaffected side too”
Let her stronger side teach her weaker side through bilateral simultaneous movements. Did some rowing actions too w the T bar lower in Anni’s Activity Chair. Then, on to standing!
Well, she surprised us! Using just her left side to pull up, then her stronger right joined. Soooo pumped!
It worked! 2 bamboo splints, electrodes on both triceps!
T.A.S.E.S.stands for task specific electrical stimulation. Learn from ! It’s non invasive, administered by a therapist or a parent trained by a therapist to specific targeted muscles. It’s sensory input for motor output!
It involves repetitive movements with good alignment to train muscles, reduce spasticity, improve muscle use, range of motion etc.
