Journal ArticleDOI
Infants Born Preterm Demonstrate Impaired Object Exploration Behaviors Throughout Infancy and Toddlerhood
TL;DR: Infants born preterm have impaired abilities to interact with objects even in the first months of life, which likely limits the knowledge they acquire about objects and about how they can act on them and may impair their early learning abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Short-Term Training on Reaching Behavior in Infants: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that adaptive changes in infants' novel behaviors can emerge rapidly, and highlight the need for increased understanding of how to most effectively time early interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Not just playing around: Infants’ behaviors with objects reflect ability, constraints, and object properties
TL;DR: Object behaviors were assessed longitudinally in 22 healthy infants supine, prone, and sitting from birth through 2 years to demonstrate how infants learn to match their emerging behaviors with changing positional constraints and object affordances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infant sitting postural control appears robust across changes in surface context.
TL;DR: It seems that mature sitter infants are able to adapt to different environmental constraints by disregarding the distorted somatosensory information from the support surface and relying more on their remaining senses (visual and vestibular) to control their sitting posture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Novel Exoskeleton for an Infant With Arm Movement Impairments.
Iryna Babik,Elena Kokkoni,Andrea Baraldi Cunha,James C. Galloway,Tariq Rahman,Michele A. Lobo +5 more
TL;DR: It may be feasible for families to use exoskeletons for daily intervention for intervention to improve reaching and object interaction for an infant with arm movement impairments, and interventions using exoskeleton can improve independent upper extremity function across time.
