I- the big push in standing or the big debate in standing is being abduction or, you know, how much in terms of a- alignment.
Roslyn LivingstonGUEST
And I think at the start, Ginny, we, we, we would say shoulder-width apart or something, just trying to get alignment when you start first positioning those kids.
Roslyn LivingstonGUEST
But you want to make sure that you're positioning, think about the knees, because often people, they look at the hips and then they move the feet, and they're not paying attention to the fact the, the knees are going together.
Roslyn LivingstonGUEST
And I think in a lot of the standing frames, that's the part you need to pay a lot of attention to, is getting really good support above and below, below the knee, especially with those kids with high tone.
