Overground suspension walkers elicit more and higher quality stepping than treadmills: A longitudinal study of pre-walking infants with Down syndrome

2026-05-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Importance</h4> Children with Down syndrome (DS), a genetic condition associated with neuromotor impairments, walk ∼1 year later than typically developing peers. Treadmill training is the most successful known intervention for accelerating walking onset in DS. Overground stepping with mobility devices better mimics critical properties of real-world walking, but it is unknown how overground stepping develops i...
