SmarToyGym

The Center for Rehabilitation at CHOP, along with the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Department of Bioengineering, is conducting a study with typically and atypically developing infants. We are developing a SmarToyGym where the toys are equipped with tiny internal sensors to measure how babies reach and play with them. The information we learn will help develop early treatments for infants at-risk for delays. Infants aged 3 to 11 months are eligible to participate, including those with and without developmental delays. What will participants be asked to do? • The study can be done at CHOP or at The Penn Institute for Rehab Medicine (18th & Lombard) • A physical therapist will administer a developmental evaluation • Participants will be asked to use the SmarToyGym for up to 5 consecutive days • SmarToyGym sessions will last approximately 15 minutes There is no direct benefit to you from taking part in this study. The knowledge gained from the study will be used to develop treatments for infants at-risk for developmental delay. You will be paid for your time.
