toe walking in children with autism

[estherderu]

dear dinesh,

I have found the information on the free access journal called journal of foot and ankle research the place to find out more about the foot and particularly the footsole.
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research

Yes it is alarming when one realizes that what one is saying ( and really believes true) might not be correct. We simple do not have any scientific evidence to back up the claims that mrs Ayres, the Bobath's and Vojta made.
Of course, we have seen that the therapy works (sometimes) - we think...... but the fact that we do not know WHY its works should humble us into trying to find out.

In this age of brain research the new developmental theories give us enough to think about. I think that more and more research is being done and new methods will be the result.


kind regards

Esther
