When Oliver was born he has slit leg movement in his upper legs. We were told that the doctors couldn't guarantee that he'd have leg movement after surgery. After sugery we saw no leg movement but after a few weeks of leg stretches we were pretty sure we saw some leg movement in his left upper leg but hereby for sure. Meet with Oliver's Physiotherapist when Oliver was 4 weeks after two weeks Oliver has some movement in his left upper thigh and foot. His toes on his left foot also aren't as curled downs my more. We havant seen movement in Oliver's right leg to just recently. Theres not much movement but theres something and also in his right foot. Oliver's left leg is usually pulled up to the side but since we've been doing stretches and exercises it comes down more in a relaxed position like his right leg. I do feel that the stretches we do each day have helped Oliver.
Our goal with Physio is to maintain a symmetrical head shape and help build a balance of muscle on both sides of his both. We will be doing this by keeping all toys on Oliver's right side and propping his body 1/4 of a turn to help him in turning his head to the right on his own. With limited leg movement we will also be propping his legs up to encourage him to look towards his legs when he's laying on his back.
