Snow started falling right before physical therapy and it was COLD outside. Then within 10 minutes of starting her exercises, Sada had little sweat beads on her nose - quick climate change! Lots of midline-crossing moves and stretching her back and feet to help keep her body balanced. She moves faster and faster and since her brain is rewiring how to stay upright, if she's not concentrating and moving purposefully she tumbles. She did get some nifty tape on her hands to help improve her palmar strength and hand/eye coordination with pincer grasp activities. The tape stays on for a week (or until it peels off) and supports the muscles that should be used by strengthening them without conciously having to think about it.
