Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Early physiotherapy reduces neuromotor problems in at-risk infants. This study was planned to compare the effects of an early goal-directed neuromotor physiotherapy (GDNT) application between preterm and term at-risk infants. Eighteen at-risk infants between the ages of 0 and 12 months were assigned to the preterm and term groups according to their gestational and corrected age. Each group received GDNT for 45 min, three days per week for 12 weeks. The effectiveness of the therapy was measured using Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE), and Goal Attainment Scale (GAS).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

physiotherapy group

Early goal directed neuromotor therapy applied by physiotherapist

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Early goal directed neuromotor therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Early goal directed neuromotor therapy (NGDT) is referred to as 'task-oriented' and is built on contemporary system theories of motor control. The development and learning of new skills occur in an interaction between the child, the task to be performed and the particular environment in which the activity takes place.

family group

Early goal directed neuromotor therapy applied by family

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Early goal directed neuromotor therapy
