Interventions
Parents of the research participants will receive a physical therapy program presented as an animation and sent through the Line program. This program will consist of the following steps
A simple asse
s standing balance ability will guide the selection of an appropriate program based on the infant'
s developmental level. Consequently, different infants may receive distinct initial programs.
Parents will be provided with an animated manual containing explanations of stimulation gestures, along wi
s response, ensuring their understanding of the stimulation.
Agreement will be reached regarding the timing and frequency of stimulation. Parents must engage in stimulation for a minimum of 45 minutes
s condition and response.
Parents are obligated to document the date, received activity level, duration of stimulation for each activity, and reasons for any inability to provide stimulation. This inf
