• For a pediatrician, these milestones are useful indicators of typical or atypical development.
• Since 2004, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published a set of milestone checklists as part of its “Learn the Signs.
• Important skills are listed for a series of ages, enabling anxious parents to know whether baby is developing typically.

Crawling to get from here to there

• Studies have indicated that over 80% of infants progress through hands-and-knees crawling during development of locomotion.
• Others use alternative crawling strategies like scooting along on their bottoms, or rolling.
• The World Health Organization studied hundreds of children around the world and found that, on average, children develop hands-and-knees crawling by 8.5 months of age.
• And 4.3% of the babies in the study skipped hands-and-knees crawling altogether.

Off the evidence-based list of milestones

• Much of the CDC’s reasoning for removing crawling from the milestone list is centered on data.
• Pediatricians have charts that say how fast children typically walk based on their age, but no such normative data exists for crawling.
• Nonetheless, the CDC is correct: There are no age-based normative data charts for crawling as there are for walking.

Locomotion in the lab

• As a biomedical engineer who specializes in pediatric locomotion biomechanics, I have firsthand knowledge of this lack of crawling data.
• My colleagues and I attach small markers to skeletal landmarks like hips and knees, and special cameras track the markers and reconstruct skeletal movement.
• But among all my lab’s studies on walking, I’ve completed only one 3D motion analysis study on crawling.

Collecting crawling data

• We’re studying babies from their first crawling attempts all the way through their transition to walking.
• We’re also hopeful that these hundreds of visits to the lab will result in the first normative data set on crawling development, addressing some of the issues that prompted the CDC to remove crawling from the milestone list.

• This new round of funding will support the Company’s phase 2 delivery and sales and service preparation of its Ultimate AI TechLuxury FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance.
• The Company plans to initiate the delivery process this week and hold the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance delivery ceremony next week.
• The acceleration-to-weight ratio of the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance is only 0.78, which is twice as efficient as Ferrari’s 1.59.
• The FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance boasts an impressive range-to-weight ratio of 136, delivering the undisputed best-in-class performance, surpassing its competitors by a large margin.
