Treadmill Training Helps Infants With Down Syndrome to Walk Months Earlier
October 31, 2007 at 5:09 PM
Child Health News
Results showed that infants in the higher-intensity, individualized training group increased their stepping more dramatically over the course of training, and attained most of the motor milestones at an earlier mean age.
The treadmills are about 1,200 dollars each, and Ulrich said that the hope is that more hospitals and Down syndrome parent organizations will rent the equipment to parents.
The study entitled "The Effects of Intensity of Treadmill Training on Developmental Outcomes and Stepping in Infants with Down Syndrome," is published in the Journal of American Physical Therapy.
