many of children who have myelomeningocele has problems with lower limb movements , urination and defecation because of the incomplete innervation
however , lower limb and back physiotherapy are the mainstay of treatment , and it's must be done on regular basis many times through the day
first you ask the physiotherapist to show you the movements you need to do , with regular visits to the physiotherapist and home physiotherapy the results will be good
I hope this helps
