Summary

This study followed 60 infants at high risk for cerebral palsy from birth to 18 months to see how they learn to move. Researchers used wearable sensors and a robotic crawler to measure leg movements, crawling, and walking. The goal was to understand how motor skills develop or are delayed, not to test a treatment.
