Infants who suffer from Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy and Down Syndrome have impaired motor function that affects their balance, posture and ability to move in a symmetrical manner. To overcome the challenges, the infants must undergo regular physiotherapy that provides stimulation and sensation of movement to their joints. However, working parents with demanding schedules may find it hard to bring their infants for regular physiotherapy sessions.

In this project, we created a device that can be used by parents to provide physiotherapy for their infants. The device is designed to be user-friendly and infant-friendly, safe, portable and provide stimulation in an engaging manner. The infant is held in a natural, resting supine position while undergoing the exercises to generate repeated exposure of their muscles to the proper form of crawling.
