Conditions
Brief summary
There is no international application of infant running stimulation system to evaluate the brain injury in children with various stages of nerve and motor development in a large sample of studies. The study of neonatal brain injury is only limited to intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH),periventricular leukomalacia(PVL), Down's syndrome(DS), premature birth of these four conditions, and the number of samples in the single digits, there is no representative of the disease population. Therefore, from the newborn to the infant development of the critical period, the investigator will refer to the previous treadmill parameters set on the research results, optimize the application of neonatal treadmill. The study hypothesized that neonatal treadmill stimulation with brain-injured children could improve his / her staggered gait characteristics and long-term nerve development through large sample data. It is important to preserve and analyze the gait characteristics and the changes of nerve development in every stage of growth and development of neonates with brain injury so as to provide clinical evidence for rehabilitation intervention. It is of great significance to judge whether this technique can be used in the early stage of brain injury in neonates.

Interventions
DEVICEBaby treadmill
The newborns who received treadmill intervention were stimulated by running 3 times a week for a total of 10 minutes each time (complete in 5 cycles, 2 minutes per cycle, 2 minutes after the completion of one cycle and rest for 2 minutes to start the next cycle). Until the completion and completion of the five cycles). During the remaining four days of each week, other physical rehabilitation training is carried out by the rehabilitator in accordance with the established rehabilitation plan. The stimulation of running lasted from 3 months of corrected gestational age to being able to walk alone for 3 steps or to correct for 18 months.
BEHAVIORALPhysical rehabilitation training
Suitable for general physical rehabilitation training of all infants with cerebral palsy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| score from Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development testing | The length of time from birth to the corrected age of 18 months | These scores are largely used for screening, helping to identify the need for further observation and intervention, as infants who score very low are at risk for future developmental problems. |
| fractional anisotropy(FA) | The length of time from birth to the corrected age of 18 months | a variable from Diffusion Tensor Image（DTI）sequence of MRI |
| the value of Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuation(ALFF) | The length of time from birth to the corrected age of 18 months | a variable from resting-blood oxygenation level dependent（BOLD）sequence of MRI |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the value of regional homogeneity (ReHo) | Corrected age of 18 months | a variable from resting-blood oxygenation level dependent（BOLD）sequence of MRI |
| Alberta Infant Motor Development Assessment | The length of time from birth to the corrected age of 18 months | Neurodevelopmental evaluation scale |
| mean diffusion(MD) | The length of time from birth to the corrected age of 18 months | a variable from Diffusion Tensor Image（DTI） sequence of MRI |
| Peabody motor development scale | The length of time from birth to the corrected age of 18 months | The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS) is composed of six subtests that measure interrelated abilities in early motor development. It was designed to assess gross and fine motor skills in children from birth through five years of age. Reflexes (Re), Stationary (St), Locomotion (Lo) , Object Manipulation (Ob), Grasping (Gr), Visual-Motor Integration (Vi). All of the PDMS-2 subtests contribute to a Total Motor Quotient (TMQ). |
| Gross Motor Function Measure Scale | The length of time from birth to the corrected age of 18 months | There is a 4-point scoring system for each item on the GMFM. Specific descriptors for scoring items are detailed in the administration and scoring guidelines. The GMFM-66 requires a user-friendly computer programme called the Gross Motor Ability Estimator, or GMAE, to enter individual item scores and convert them to an interval level total score. |
