TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Beyond the average: walking infants take steps longer than their leg length JO - Infant behavior and development A1 - Badaly, Daryaneh A1 - Adolph, Karen E. SP - 554 EP - 558 VL - 31 IS - 3 N2 - Traditionally, infant walking is characterized by small steps, attributed to limited balance control and strength. However, analyses of individual steps revealed that infants occasionally take large steps exceeding their leg length. These large steps provide evidence of advanced balance control and strength.
