Baby-wearing. A study on the transmission of motion in different transport modalities

Masters Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Health - Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy, grade: 3,0, course: Physical Therapy Sciences, language: English, abstract: Beneficial physiological effects have been attributed to Baby-Wearing. These effects have been related mainly to two components: first the close skin-to-skin contact and second the consistent movement during carriage. Although the designated effects have been related in an important proportion to the movements, nobody has investigated the quality of these movements yet. This study was performed to explore the movement of the babys body during locomotion in different methods of transport.
