Thanks Judith
for the concern about 'concentration problem, reduced tonus, reduced endurance' and bringing to notice.. psychological well being and counseling should be among the priorities in overall development
the point raised during the initiation of the tread was specific to "gaining finger extension". Functional use of hand is mobility and doing various activities requiring precision and priority wise if finger and wrist extensors should initiate. I believe that the training in weight bearing as mentioned in previous posts are pointing toward its beneficial effect in reducing hypertonicity (as in reflex inhibiting posture)
