Motor Characteristics of Early Walking in Children With Williams Syndrome
Walking in WS is delayed, but does not differ substantially in quality. Instead, it is marked by subtle atypical motor strategies. These results emphasise the importance of fine-grained analysis of early motor development. Motor atypicalities may be antecedents of later difficulties and thus can inform targeted interventions and shed light on developmental mechanisms.
