Physical therapists help children achieve developmental milestones related to gross motor development, such as crawling and walking independently. They may also assist families in selecting suitable mobility and positioning devices, such as wheelchairs, walkers, standers, helmets, and foot orthotics. Physical therapy can address a variety of issues, including the following:
- Balance deficits
- Coordination difficulties
- Gait disturbances and toe walking
- Postural alignment
- Rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking delays
