Practice in the playroom. Matias is wearing his belt cane, walking and holding his dad's hand. The tight-spaces cane frame contacts the sofa, plush rocking toy and wooden toy cart he was scene stepping on when guided without a cane. His tears result when made to let go of his dad's hand.

The belt cane should be worn most of the day, because there is no benefit to walking without effective path information.
The daily frame provides a two-step preview of the path ahead. The daily frame is intended to be worn inside, in roomy indoor spaces, in the mall, at school and outside, on the playground, in the backyard, on the beach, everywhere.

Audrey update! Began wearing Ankle Foot Orthotics (AFOs) late September. The AFOs give her much needed stability.
She has turned a corner. Audrey's AFO/belt cane combination has allowed her to begin taking independent steps.

We really do think the belt cane is key to her increasing her independent mobility skills. It really does unlock her confidence, balance and independent movement. Now shes moving on her own we can't wait to see how far she can build on this.
