Wren had a physio evaluation at Children's today to see how his leg [edema, obstructed common ileac vein] is doing and whether we can help it at all.
The therapist put him down on the mat and watched while he moved on belly and back. She also placed toys around him and watched how he reached and moved towards them. When he wasn't able to make a motion she helped a bit and figured out what he could and could not do.
All the movements were charted on an evaluation form and for each "stage" he had reached on the ALBERTA INFANT MOTOR SCALE he was given a point. The points were added and then charted by age. Wren is at the 25th percentile for age. She said this is classified as low normal but not delayed. Delayed is below 25th percentile.
We have been given some exercises to help him use his left leg more and to strengthen his abdominal muscles and we will be evaluated at his 6 month checkup.
