Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study included 39 children aged between 8 and 15 years. The demographic information of the children, their motor development stages and walker use situations, the age at which they started using it, and the duration of use were questioned. The New York Posture Analysis Questionnaire and Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire Scale (PAQ-C) were administered to the children. Muscle strength was measured with a digital muscle strength meter.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Using Walker Group
Children who used baby walkers during childhood were included in this group. All assessment procedures were then performed.
Posture Analysis
This analysis consists of 13 different body parts and evaluates the body in terms of current posture changes. Our study evaluated children from two angles: posterior (head, shoulders, back, hips, feet, and arches) and lateral (neck, chest, shoulders, upper back, trunk, abdomen, and waist). In the scoring system, correct posture was recorded as five points, a moderate amount of deformity posture as three points, and severe deformity posture as one point. The total score calculated at the end of the questionnaire was a maximum of 65 points and a minimum of 13 points. The results of the analysis were evaluated as follows: ≥ 45 points, very good, 40-44 points good, 30-39 points moderate, 20-29 points poor, and a total score of ≤ 19 points.
Physical activity level
This questionnaire, administered to children aged 4-14, evaluates the activities performed during a week. The questionnaire consisted of nine questions, each of which was evaluated on a 5 points. One point indicated a low physical activity level and five points indicated a high physical activity level. Dividing the total score of the selected items by the number of items gives a summary score for the PAQ-C questionnaire. In our study, we used the Turkish version of the questionnaire, which was found to be reliable and valid.
Muscle strength
Our study objectively measured muscle strength using the JTech Commander PowerTrack Muscle Dynamometer.
Right and left muscle tests: Hip flexors/hyperextensors/adductors/abductors/internal rotators/external retractors, knee flexors/extensors, and foot plantar flexors/dorsiflexors were evaluated. The measurement results were recorded in Newtons, the measurements were repeated three times, and the average of these three repetitions was recorded.
Walker-Free Group
Children who did not use a baby walker during childhood were included in this group. All assessment procedures were then performed.
