Hi everyone. I tried to post this a few minutes ago.... I am wondering if anyone would be willing to give me a little insight on spastic diplegia in regards to how one moves when one is trying to sit down, get up, or turn around.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a site that would show video of this that would be especially helpful.

Thank you!

There are several great books out there. One book in particular(I have myself) is called "Teaching Motor Skills to Children with Cerebral Palsy and Similar Movement Disorders" by Sieglinde Martin, M.S., P.T. I purchased it through Amazon. This book has alot of great photos in teaching a child how to move when they have movement disorders due to various diagnosis'

I'm sure there are videos out there if you surf the net. I myself haven't done that, but I'm sure it is out there. I hope my info. helped....take care...
