This video instructs families with a baby with Microcephaly how to work with their baby. My name is Amy Sturkey, PT. I am a pediatric physical therapist in the US. I'd like to give some ideas to families who want to help their baby with Microcephaly due to the Zika virus. This video teaches a simple technique in how to work on upper body strength while pulling your baby up to sitting. I taped this video specifically for families with a child with Microcephaly; however, this technique could be used with any child with a developmental delay who has weakness in his upper body. This should only be done with a child who is relatively strong with a pull to sitting with 2 hands held. This exercise is not needed if the child can already get into sitting independently. My webpage is www.pediatricPTexercises.com My Facebook page is Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises. I have apps on iTunes and Google play for Pediatric Physical Therapy Strengthening. However, these apps target children 3 and older. Feel free to contact me at amysturkey@gmail.com with questions, concerns or rave reviews!
