Vestibular stimulation influence on motor development in infants

DL Clark, Kreutzberg JR, and FK Chee

Preambulatory, normal human infants were exposed to sessions of mild semicircular canal stimulation on 2 days per week for 4 weeks. The gross motor ability of each child was assessed before and after the 4-week period. The vestibular stimulation effected a significant improvement in gross motor skills.
