Summary

There have been many studies on the use of running training in older children to improve gait development in children with cerebral palsy. The aim of our study was to conduct early treadmill training in infants who were highly suspected of cerebral palsy and to follow up on their long-term gait development.

Conditions

Until the completion and completion of the five cycles). During the remaining four days of each week, other physical rehabilitation training is carried out by the rehabilitator in accordance with the established rehabilitation plan. The stimulation of running lasted from 3 months of corrected gestational age to being able to walk alone for 3 steps or to correct for 18 months.
