Introduction
Intervention Methods for Infant Motor Development:
1. 0–3 months: Promote visual, auditory, and tactile development, as well as body rolling.
2. 4–6 months: Encourage active rolling over, independent sitting, and reaching/grasping objects.
3. 7–9 months: Promote prone crawling and hands-and-knees crawling, as well as pincer grasp (using the thumb and index finger) to pick up small objects.
4. 10–12 months: Encourage independent standing, cruising (walking while holding onto furniture), and reaching/grasping objects.
Our interventions primarily follow the natural developmental milestones of infant motor skills: 0–3 months: Focus on promoting visual, auditory, and tactile development; vestibular function training; body rolling; and head control; 4–6 months: Encourage active rolling over; promote independent sitting and reaching/grasping objects; 7–9 months: Facilitate prone crawling and hands-and-knees crawling; initiate standing training; practice postural transitions toward standing; and develop pincer grasp (using thumb and index finger) to pick up small objects; 10–12 months: Promote independent standing, cruising (walking while holding onto furniture), and independent walking, as well as hand-eye coordination for reaching and grasping objects.
