Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Exercise regimen	Age 4-6 years: Target lower extremity, core and upper extremity strengthening and activity tolerance. With supervision by the PT, the patient will walk in their room, and complete the following through play: squat, single leg stance, climb onto couch, half kneel to stand, quadruped and tall kneeling. Age 7-21 years: First component will be strengthening exercises completed in bed or on a mat while sitting or standing. Multiple levels of exercises will be available, so that the program can be tailored to each patient and to their ability to perform activities. The exercises included will focus on core, hip musculature, and upper extremity strengthening; including exercises in quadruped and prone positioning, as well as supine, sitting and standing. Thera-Band will be used to increase resistance as needed. The second component will be endurance. Since the patients will be confined to their room this will include ambulation within the room, recumbent or pedal exerciser and step ups.
