Investigating how eye-tracking and environmental features affect mobility training in toddlers
Inspiration From Eye-tracking Data: Investigating the Impact of Combining Specific Environmental Features and Power Mobility Training on Functional Skills and Caregiver-child Interaction in Toddlers With Motor Delays
NA · Chang Gung Memorial Hospital · NCT06928077
This study is testing whether using eye-tracking technology during mobility training can help toddlers with motor delays improve their movement skills better than traditional therapy.

What this trial studies
This study aims to explore the impact of combining lightweight head-mounted eye tracking with ROC-Stand training for toddlers with motor delays. It will compare the effects of training with specific environmental features against conventional therapy and training without these features. The study will evaluate outcomes related to body function, daily activities, and family involvement using the ICF framework. Additionally, it will investigate the relationships among children's temperament, motivation, looking behavior, and caregiver-child interactions during the training programs.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are toddlers aged 1 to 3 years with motor delays who require assistive technology for walking.
Not a fit: Patients with severe sensory impairments or those unable to commit to the training schedule may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved mobility training strategies for toddlers with motor disabilities, enhancing their development and social interactions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise in using environmental modifications and technology in pediatric rehabilitation, suggesting potential success for this approach.
