Any tips o. How to keep him entertained his kneecap is back I. Place. Ut keeps giving away under him . They did not splint it as he wears afos Lready and felt all they do is switch problem to another place

Granted ds does not walk much best of times but have been told till we go back to fracture clinic not to let him weight bear at all. Ds is struggling to understand this and course second my back is turn trys it and his kneecap goes pop and gives away then goes back In .

No just about to complicated for him he knows he should not try to stand but he does anyway

bum shifting no good as to much weight on arms means his shoulders go pop , why hoping to him a powerchair as self propelling tough on him . He is using his chair. Indoors now but he is fed up he can't reach anything he drops he did try getting out chair but it went straight away .going to be a very long week

Could you bandage a pillow under his knee with it slightly flexed so that it is more awkward for him to use it & gives him more time to think about what he shouldn't be doing?
