Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of inclination treadmill training on gait and gross motor function in children with developmental delay. In this study, a total of 12 developmental delay children was randomly assigned to: the 10° inclination treadmill training group, the 0° inclination treadmill training group. GMFM and K-PBS were used to evaluate the subject’s to gross motor function. In order to evaluate the subject’s walking ability, a walking analysis was conducted via GAITRite system. The intervention was performed 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Each session lasted 20 minutes. The experimental group conducted 10° inclination treadmill training, and the control group conducted 0° inclination treadmill training. The results of this study confirmed that 10° inclination treadmill training was effective in improving gait and gross motor function in developmental delay children. Therefore, 10° inclination treadmill training can be used as an effective interventional method in physical therapy developmental delay to improve gait and gross motor function in children with developmental delay.
