I want to say make sure they're weight bearing because the whole idea of standing is to load especially the femur.

Ginny PalegGUEST
So you were talking about the health of your eight-month-old's acetabulum, and we know that our kids from the beginning might not have good acetabulum.

Ginny PalegGUEST
If they have a genetic condition or had something that was going wrong at, from the beginning of gestation, those hips just don't form right.

Ginny PalegGUEST
Um, if there's something happened to them at birth, like traditional cerebral palsy, like an anoxic hit or a bleed, then maybe their hips were developing fine, but then they won't keep developing.

Ginny PalegGUEST
So when you're born, your femoral neck is very straight, your head is very straight, your acetabulum is very shallow, and it's really from weight bearing and your gluteus medius that pull that femoral neck down and rotate the head, and then that pressure of the femoral head into the growth plate of the acetabulum is what makes that nice.

Ginny PalegGUEST
So if that doesn't happen for you, your hip doesn't grow into the socket, and you're at a very high risk, um, somewhere between 60 and 90% of your hip coming out.

Justin BoulosHOST
Like, how do I know that's safe? How do I know I'm doing the right thing? Can you maybe shed a bit of light in terms of just the practical side of it?

Kishore VellodyHOST
Why don't you give us your kind of overview of how you think therapy, concepts of therapy have changed over the time?

Ginny PalegGUEST
One of my hobbies is arguing with people on the Internet, which is not very effective, but it still brings me joy.

Ginny PalegGUEST
And what I've come to learn when I graduated physical therapy school with my master's, there were no cell phones.

Mm.

Ginny PalegGUEST
But the point is, we're really not supposed to be doing that in the first place.

Ginny PalegGUEST
Like, what is the child doing? What are you controlling? We know from NDT handling techniques, you can do a lot with distal control, but it's what you're doing.

Ginny PalegGUEST
And that's not, we need to get the motor cortex, the prefrontal cortex, the thalamus, the cerebellum.

Ginny PalegGUEST
And we know from research in Canada, from DCD, from, I'm forgetting her name right now.

And I think they're looking at this data as well, aren't they?
