Measure
Treadmill Training Only
This group received treadmill training in home for 8 min per day/ 5 days per week. Training started when the children pulled to stand and ended when they could take 3 independent steps.
Treadmill Training and Orthotic Use
This group received treadmill training from the time they could pull to stand until they could take 3 independent steps. They also work supramalleolar foot orthoses for 8 hours a day during that time frame.
