Graduate Physical Therapy students recruiting infants birth to 8 months, to observe the development of independent sitting.
The purpose of this research is to learn more about how babies develop independent sitting. This information will be used to create normalized standards for trunk development. The results from this study will help us detect trunk control problems sooner for children at risk for disability.
Benefits:
You and your baby will be reimbursed $20 for one 30-45 minute data session. Parents might benefit from learning about their baby’s growth and development. Parents might feel good knowing their baby is helping scientists understand how to help children with disabilities.
Eligibility:
We are recruiting babies from birth through 8 months of age. They need to be typically developing, have no known sensory or motor problems and have been born near term (37-42 weeks gestation).
