Gross Motor Assessment

We received the results from Tuesday's GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure).

Summer enjoyes working with her PT, Krista.  She is really good at motivating Summer to perform the tasks.

Krista measured five areas of function. It will provide a good baseline to measure Summer's progress. I kind of always look forward to these types of assessments because some of the gross motor stuff comes easy to Summer and it is inspiring and motivating for both her and I to see her be successful.

In the 5 areas assessed she did quite well:

1. Lying & Rolling: 100%
2. Sitting: 91.66%
3. Crawling & Kneeling: 88.09%
4. Standing: 76.92%
5. Walking, Running & Jumping: 91.66%

 

By far, the most difficult movement is squatting and standing/hopping on one foot (right).  So we will work on those skills.
