Cannon started a totally new test for PT. It is a standardized test so we will be able to measure where is compared to nationwide norms. Cannon is the first person to do this trial for his age group. He did well. Propulsive movements seem to be a weakness for all patients with HPP.
This was all mostly new stuff for Cannon...except for the video below. This was a standing long jump...he jumped 27 inches. He actually jumped 34 inches on one jump...but he fell backwards...so it didnt' count and he had to do it again...and he was tired.
Based on Cannon's results from all of these tests...he falls into the average range in everything but running speed and agility...where he is just below average.
Cannons balance is very good...he tested at a 7-71/2 year old.
His strength is right at where it should be at 6 years 9 months.
And his running speed tested at just under 4 years old.
As compared to most HPP patients...Cannon is above average on his strength and above average on balance...his running speed is very typical with all HPP patients.
Overall...it was a good visit and now we are headed to Arizona for a weeks vacation with grandma and grandpa.
