Summary

This study followed 60 babies at high risk for cerebral palsy from birth to 18 months old. Researchers used wearable sensors and robotic tools to measure how the infants learned to move—from early kicks to crawling and walking. The goal was to understand how motor skills develop or get delayed in these children, which could help design better therapies in the future.
