Summary
Brief summary
Purpose: Investigate the effects of treadmill interventions in high risk babies motor development
Hypothesis:
1. The experimental group will acquire the independent walking earlier than the high risk babies control group
2. The experimental group will acquire the others milestones earlier than the high risk babies control group
3. The alternative steps will increase along the intervention months
