Detailed Description

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

Preterm infants are observed to have reduced trunk extension in the prone position, rigid postural patterns while reaching a toy, fewer movement reactions, trunk rotation, head control, and muscle tone than term infants. To distinguish between the infant with typical motor development and the one with atypical / abnormal motor development and to follow up the level of their trunk controls is important to identify of the motor development delay in the early stage of life.

This cross-sectional study included 42 LBW infants and 43 NBW infants at between 3 and 9 months of age. We investigated the association between the gross motor function and the segmental trunk controls of the LBW infants at the 3-9 months of age compared to NBW infants.

Study Groups

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

Low Birth Weight Infants

They were as follows: being at 3 to 9 months' corrected age, gestational age of less than 36 weeks + 6 days, birth weight of 2000 g or less. Infants with any genetic, metabolic, orthopedic congenital abnormalities or chronic diseases and parents' rejection to participate in the study were excluded.

Low Birth Weight and Normal Weight infants

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This cross-sectional study included LBW and NW infants at between 3 and 9 months of age. The levels of trunk control were investigated by using the Segmental Assessment Trunk Control (SATCo). The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) were used for assessment of gross motor performance and identify typical and atypical motor development of infants.

Normal Weight Infants

They were as follows: being between 3 and 9 months of age, being full-term, had no complications during delivery. Infants that presented any type of sensory or motor disorder were excluded.
