Research<\/h3>\n<p>Nevertheless, manufacturers of infant orthotic devices (IODs) \u2212 like Bumbo Seats, exersaucers, jumpers, and walkers \u2212 have made widely-accepted claims that such devices benefit infants by \u201chelping\u201d them learn to sit, crawl, and walk.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, research has shown that these IODs alter how infants\u2019 soft-wired motor pattern development is executed. In fact, the artificial support to infants\u2019 limbs and spine has been shown to delay, alter, and potentially cause long-term motor pattern dysfunction.<\/p>\n<h3>Evidence Against The Use of Infant Orthotic Devices (IODs)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\">\u201c\u2026babywalkers are associated with delay in achieving normal locomotor milestones\u2026.The use of babywalkers should be discouraged.\u201d<sup>1<\/sup><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\">\u201cusage\u2026can delay the acquisition of independent walking and disturb the normal gait pattern in normal children so it is highly recommended stopping baby walker usage and educate parents and health professionals about its hazards.\u201d<sup>2<\/sup><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\">\u201cA disharmonic and delayed motor development, contractures of the calf-muscles and motor development mimicking spastic diplegia are considered to be caused by the early use of infant walkers.\u201d<sup>3<\/sup><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\">\u201cfor some infants the excessive use of babywalkers alters the pathway of normal locomotor development.\u201d<sup>4<\/sup><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\">\u201cCurrent data available in the literature is not enough to prohibit using baby walker[s]; however, it suggests no advantage of the walkers in child development. This issue must be noticed more by researchers&#8230;\u201d<sup>5<\/sup><\/li>\n<li class=\"p4\">Because data indicate a considerable risk of major and minor injury and even death from the use of infant walkers, and because there is no clear benefit from their use, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a ban on the manufacture and sale of mobile infant walkers.<sup>6<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Evidence Supporting Motor Development from the Ground Up<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\">\u201cSensory perception is a prerequisite for motor function.\u201d<sup>7<\/sup><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\">\u201cTo be able to observe their surroundings, the infant adopts the most suitable posture, activates support function in order to stabilize the entire body within gravity and then looks around.\u201d<sup>8<\/sup><\/li>\n<li class=\"p4\">&#8220;It is critical that all stabilizers are proportionally activated in order to ensure good movement patterns for functional activities or skill execution.

We hypothesize that a minimalistic model of infant motor pattern development maximizes an infant\u2019s biomechanical potential; the less technology we use to \u201chelp\u201d our children move, the better and stronger they will be. Research shows that IODs (specifically walkers) can cause developmental delays, altered motor patterns, or at the very least do not help the child. Could use of these devices be playing a roll in our current pain epidemic? Could our young athletes be stronger and potentially less prone to injuries? How does the use of IODs play a role in the long term health of the individual? Further research is needed to explore the following in regards to the use of IODs during infancy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\">Quality of movement patterns from infancy to adulthood<\/li>\n<li class=\"p4\">Timing of developmental milestones in infancy<\/li>\n<li class=\"p4\">Rates of injury in adulthood<\/li>\n<li class=\"p4\">Proclivity to experiencing pain in adulthood<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">Including more types of IODs in the research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Give your child a strong beginning \u2212 forgo IODs + facilitate free-range movement + build your baby from the ground up. <\/b><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"p2\"><b>References <\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p2\">Garrett M, McElroy AM, Staines A.
