Hip helpers

I put this here because some families have found success using these and they are frequently used for children with Down's Syndrome. I have never used them on my son. They can be made by handy sewing people or purchased at http://www.hiphelpers.com.

As I understand it, they are used to help pull in the child's legs and counter that froggy look that low tone kids have. They should be worn when the child is awake and moving. They can promote trunk rotation over the pelvis which is needed for eventual adequate weight shift in the trunk when walking. They should be worn tight enough to hold the hips shoulder-width apart without causing any red marks or constriction.
