Training

Pictures

First week (session 1 and 2)

The regular pattern of gait was designed on the ground, and the child was then asked to take the determined path (to get accustomed to the environment)

Second week (session 3 and 4)

Walking between the cones and blocks (to vary the width of the steps while walking)

Third week (session 5 and 6)

Walking on an inclined (sloping) surface (to vary the heel-toe pattern during walking)

Fourth week (session 7 and 8)

Walking on arranged tatami mats in different directions and a spiral form (to vary maintaining the gravity center and height as walking, and avoiding touching the tatami mat's outer surface for prevention)

Fifth week (session 9 and 10)

Walking over obstacles placed on the course (to vary the appropriate flexion of the ankle, knee, and hip joints during the swing phase)

Sixth week (session 11 and 12)

Children walking among the blocks, over the inclined surface and the obstacles arranged in a row (to vary all variations together with all that they have acquired during these six weeks)
