👶🎥 A look inside recent Infant Norms data collections
Over the past few weeks, we’ve welcomed several families into the Pediatric Motor Development Lab for our Infant Sitting Norms Study, capturing early sitting and balance behaviors during an important developmental milestone.

Each visit helps us better understand typical motor development in infancy—and we’re so grateful to the families who make this work possible 💙

🖨️ 3D Printing with Roland! 👟

Rehab Engineer Roland Starr, MS designed a 3D-printed shoe-donning device right here at ABBEL. ✨
This innovative design has helped some patients reduce the time it takes to put on one shoe from 45 minutes to under a minute ⏱️👏

🔧 How it works:
Patients use a 3D-printed brace to guide their foot into a shoe resting on a custom 3D-printed platform—making the process faster, easier, and more accessible. 🙌

🤝 This project was created in collaboration with Angelina Chilcoat, OTR/L, CHT.
