Stesha is already practicing in the new simulator

Stesha is already occupying herself in the new upright positioner. Her mother was afraid that it would be hard and difficult for the girl to stand for the recommended two hours a day, but Stesha liked the exercises and the time flew by without her noticing.  "I want to thank the tubers for their help! - Stesha's mom writes. - What seems to be so important that the child is standing? But for Stesha these lessons make a huge difference: her joints will get stronger, her pelvic bones will form correctly, and the tendons under her knees will start to stretch. We will prevent the development of two serious complications - hip dislocations and the development of contractures (limb mobility restriction). This cannot be achieved if the child is always sitting up.   Stesha is so fond of standing that it is impossible to take her off the simulator. And our family is happy that our daughter has such an opportunity to overcome the disease. Thank you!  You are our guardian angels!"

Stephanie needs a standing aid to strengthen her joints

Stefania and her brother were born prematurely, weighing 2.5 kilograms for two. The boy lived only 21 days. Stesha won her fight for life, but continues to struggle for her health - she has infantile cerebral palsy. Last year, the already difficult diagnosis was complicated by a new one - hip dislocations. A healthy child stands, sits, runs and jumps - his joints develop correctly and hold the bones of his pelvis and legs firmly. A baby with cerebral palsy does not move, sits incorrectly, and his joints are unstable and weak. This is why sprains are a frequent complication of paralysis. Stephanie had to endure a difficult treatment: surgeons sawed the pelvis, put the femoral head in place and put a cast on it for two months to fix it in the acetabulum. After that, the operation is repeated on the other leg. But even this is only part of the solution. The position of the joints becomes even more unstable, because the child hardly moves at all after the operation for 4 months. And to prevent repeated dislocations, Stephanie was advised to stand for an hour a day with her legs apart at a certain angle to avoid being seen by a surgeon again. But Stesha cannot stand on her own, so she needs a special support - a standing machine. We were unable to get a machine with the necessary functions from the Social Security Fund - they gave us a model which was not suitable for a child with such pathologies as the girl. The family will not be able to buy a standing machine with leg spreading function for our daughter without your support: Stesha has two older brothers and one mother for all of them.
