Summary

This study looked at how young children with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or other motor delays first use mobility devices like bodyweight support systems and powered chairs. Researchers measured how much of a play area the children explored and their muscle activity. The goal was to learn, not to treat, so no therapy or medication was given.
