Can 'Sticky Mittens' and treadmills boost baby brains?

This research study aimed to understand if specific movement exercises could help babies with Down syndrome develop thinking and language skills. Researchers worked with 51 infants to test whether practicing walking on a small treadmill or using special 'sticky mittens' to practice grasping would lead to better cognitive and communication development. The study measured babies' progress using standard developmental tests to see if early motor experience creates a positive ripple effect on other areas of learning.
