2yrs. and NOT walking

My 2 year old is not walking yet. OT said she was fine but her brothers walked at 8 and 9 months. What can I do to get her to walk? She cruises, crawls and will walk with stiff legs (not bending her knees) with the assistance of either a walker or by holding someone's hands but only for 1-2 minutes.

An occupational therapist says she is fine?  Two does seem a little late.  You might seek a second opinion.
