Tory Update - Keeping Busy

Tory had been doing his outpatient therapy for the past few weeks. This was his first time on the LocoMat. It is a machine the helps the parts of your body work correctly while walking. Tory does most of the walking and the machine helps pick up on any areas that he may be slacking. He did it for 10 minutes and was WORE OUT! He will build up his time each time he goes.



He got a smiley face on the machine for doing such a great job.

Balance - standing on a foam pad.



Control - raising his body up and down.

Strength - doing sideways squats with a resistance band.
