Clinical Background
Ella trialled the Scooot at the Abilities Expo in Boston and was very excited to use it again at her initial trial with her physical therapist. Ella has a very limited active movement of her lower extremities so she used the Scooot in a seated position using her arms to move around the therapy gym. She used the Scooot to manoeuvre around the therapy room during an Easter egg hunt which she thoroughly enjoyed. Although moving the Scooot was a challenge for Ella she was able to have fun with floor play, by exploring her environment all by herself! The Scooot increased Ella’s access to toys placed on the floor. Alternative mobility devices like her power chair and gait trainer would not have allowed Ella to access toys on the floor.
Our Approach
In the crawl configuration, Ella was in prone (tummy time) and was able to work on her head control, weight-bearing through her knees, as well as assisted crawling. Ella worked hard on transitioning from a seated position into prone on the Scooot and back to a seated position. With assistance from myself (PT) to advance the Scooot forward Ella was able to reciprocally move her lower extremities in a crawling pattern. This is a movement that Ella was not able to perform prior to using the Scooot. She was very excited and proud of her accomplishment - she even asked her mother to take a video of her so she could show her father later that evening. Overall Ella enjoyed using the Scooot during physical therapy sessions. It was a great tool to assist her in meeting her physical therapy goals as well as increasing her functional mobility/independence.
The Result
The Scooot gave many of my patients the chance for independent exploration of their environment that they are typically unable to do without equipment or caregiver assistance. In addition, it allowed them to explore their environment on the floor, something that is very difficult or impossible for many children that I treat. The versatility of this piece of equipment and ease of changing it from the Scooot (seated position) to crawl (prone position) was very helpful in a busy outpatient setting. Additional support can be given or taken away from the child as needed. Another feature of the Scooot that I enjoyed was that it can be used with a wide variety of children with varying abilities. I found that individuals who are unable or struggle to use a traditional scooter board were able to use the Scooot. Overall this product was a great addition to our clinic! Therapists, parents, and most importantly the children enjoyed incorporating the Scooot into our weekly sessions to help meet their therapy goals.
