Physical Activity Monitoring

Physical Activity Monitoring 

A portable activity tracker called a StepWatch can be sent home with the child to record how much walking the child does over the course of a week. This information is very useful for children who are recovering from surgery. 
During the year following surgery, children need a strong rehabilitation program to achieve the best outcomes. The gait lab can provide a video record of the child’s postsurgical recovery and set specific measures of progress during this rehabilitation phase using the StepWatch. After surgery, your child should be videotaped and provided with a StepWatch in the gait lab at EACH of the following intervals: 3 moths post surgery, 6 months post surgery, 9 months post surgery, 12 months post surgery, 18 months post surgery, 24 months post surgery.

What Our FAMILIES Are Saying

Cesia's Story

"
Chris Church did an outstanding job with our son during the gait analysis. We are looking forward to getting
these results to aid us in directing future care "
​
"
Daveda Taylor was the PT who worked with our daughter. She was just wonderful. She took her time, made adjustments when necessary, sang with our daughter, and was very patient. Because of Daveda, it
was a very good experience and we got further along in the test then we did the prior two times. I was very impressed with Daveda's knowledge and ability to work with our daughter."

"Faithe is an asset to the team here. She is friendly, thorough, patient, kind and obviously skilled in her expertise.."
