Ethan builds strength after his surgery on both hips

Ethan works with his Physiotherapist Laura to improve his strength and mobility.

 

What a champion!

Ethan has Angelman Syndrome, which results in decreased mobility and strength, among other symptoms. He also had to undergo surgery on both hips! Ethan wanted to be able to move again, so he has been working with his Physiotherapist Laura since his surgery. Now he can use his standing frame for 30 minutes at a time!

He can also tolerate 30 minutes of tummy time on his foam wedge and can complete two sit to stands with assistance.

Ethan maintains his good cheer as he continues to build strength. Laura says that with Ethan, “laughing becomes a core exercise!”
