Low muscle tone

[plinkyblonk]

Anyone on here have a child with low muscle tone?

I'm getting really down hearted about my DD with low tone and not walking she 2 1/2 almost. I can't see the end of the tunnel. She was born 10weeks early so they suspect that's the cause for the delay in walking.

I'm wondering if there is a possibility that she won't walk? Or how old were your LO with low tone started to walk and what input they had? And any ideas activities that would help her?

She has orthotic books which have made a slight difference and sees physio but it's more for observation than actually doing activities with her.

Hi

I have a nearly three year old boy with low muscle tone he walked at 2.5

Before this he bum shuffled never crawled

We did have physio but they really only explained the mechanics of walking and gave us a few home exercises

What is she doing at the moment is she able to pull up? Is she able to crawl or is she bum shuffling

Thanks so much for your reply it's given me a bit of hope. She can pull up and she crawls. She occasionally shows signs of improvement but then seems to slip back! She really wants to walk I can see it in her face but her muscles just give way.

I know she'll get there but I'm just frustrated as It seem to be taking forever to make any progress.
