Hello,

As mentioned by you that she is not able to walk, I would ask you to few things, is she having any kind of spasticity in the muscles, is she having any deformity, any kind of contracture, is she able to understand and act according.

If you wish your sister to walk then we need to assess her, examine her, check her cognitive levels and if the there is no tightness, contracture, deformity, then we can make her walk with the help of gaiters or walking aids. We can teach her walking if her cognitive levels are good.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
