Know a parent with a child who has Cerebral Palsy?
You may want to inform them of this upcoming Cerebral Palsy event in St. Louis, MO in August, sponsored by Reaching For The Stars. Registration forms will be available soon.
Dear Reader:
Every child should be encouraged to actively participate in life. There are many benefits to independent movement even if their gait may not look beautiful. Recent research (see Abstract) from the University of Washington points to the significance of ambulatory activity in the context of daily life.
Rifton’s Pacer gait trainer is designed so children can live life more fully. Our hope is that one day the child may walk away from their Pacer.
We're happy to let you know about Rifton's NEW FREE DVD that contains all our product videos. Products include the Pacer, Rifton Tricycle, Blue Wave Bathing System and Rifton Seating. View your Rifton DVD on a computer or TV, or show it to a group.
Let me know if you enjoy this issue.
Sincerely,
Lori Potts, PT
Rifton Rapport Editor
