Got the answers. She is extremely flexible. The physiotherapist was able to take her toes and touch her leg with them. Her hips, knees and ankles are flopping around so we are building up the muscle so she'll have support when walking. Hopefully in a couple of weeks she'll be running around the house:)
Thanks for responding to my message. I'm glad to hear that you daughter is doing well after everything. My daughter did get an xray done of her bilateral hips and everything came back fine. I have an appointment on monday with her physiotherapist and I hope we'll get some answers then.
Thank you so much for your suggestion! I finally heard from her therapist and she is going there on monday. Vestibular disorder does sound like a very good possibility for why she's not walking yet. I will mention it to the physiotherapist and will continue to investigate on my own. This is the first I've heard of vestibular disorder, how did your son eventually get diagnosed?
My son was also a late walker (was cruising at 16-17 months). A unknown Vestibular problem with the main culprit. Please, please contact your local Early Childhood Intervention Agency where you live. Every state and\or Province should have listed in their Social Services listings. My son received Occupational and Physical Therapies in his day care setting for free which corrected the problem with a few months. *However* the longer you wait to correct the problem, the more difficult it may be to resolve it. Also, the providers are objective parties who have seen many such individuals and can direct you to the right services if they cannot help you. I thought my son had wonderful fine motor skills; I was wrong. ;) Best of luck to you!
My daughter was 17 months before she started walking, then she was found to have a congenital dislocation of the hip. Im not suggesting thats the problem. After her op to get her walking again i use too stand her with her back against and encourage her to take steps towards me. with a bit of patience she was soon running around.
