What this Trial Is About
The purpose of this single-subject study is to investigate children with spinal bifida who have significant knee limitations in lower extremity passive range of motion to answer the following research questions: 1. Is a home standing program effective in reducing lower extremity passive range of motion limitations in children with Spina Bifida? 2. Does a home standing program change the quality of functional movement in children with spina bifida? 3. Does a home standing program change a child's performance in daily activities, mobility, and social/cognitive domains? 4. Does a home standing program change a child's health-related quality of life in children with spinal bifida? 5. Does a home standing program result in a change in gait velocity in children with Spina Bifida?
