Investigating Trunk Control in Young Children With Down Syndrome

On the first day of the intervention phase (B), the PI will deliver the dynamic standing home program device (Upsee) to the parent and child. The PI will provide training and education to the parent on the device and home program. At the weekly visit to score outcome measures, the PI will check the fit of the devices, ensure compliance, and answer any questions about the home program. Parents will be encouraged to use the device with their child 5 days per week, 30 minutes per day. Parents will keep a daily log sheet to record duration of device use, activities performed, and subjective observations of the child during the intervention (Appendix K). The PI will collect these log sheets each week. The baseline phases (A1 and A2) will last 4 weeks and the intervention phase (B) will last 6 weeks. Part 2 of the study is expected to last 14 weeks.
