Bican, Rachel; Lowes, Linda; Alfano, Lindsay; McNally, Michael; Durbak, Emily; Pan, Xueliang; Heathcock, Jill – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Background: Spontaneous upper extremity movements in infancy provide insight on neuromotor development. Spatiotemporal kinematics have been used to evaluate typical development of reaching, a foundational motor skill in infancy. This study evaluates the relationship between spontaneous upper extremity movements, not elicited by a toy, and motor…
