Summary
This study tests a motor training program called 'Let's Move' for infants aged 3-8 months who are at high risk for cerebral palsy. The program involves weekly sessions alternating between clinic visits and video telehealth at home for 16 weeks. Researchers want to see if the program is feasible and acceptable for families, and whether it helps improve motor skills.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, home-based therapy to improve motor skills in infants at risk for cerebral palsy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not show clear benefits or may be difficult for families to sustain.
