Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Infants in this group will receive routine neonatal intensive care without any additional physiotherapy or massage intervention. This arm serves as the standard care control group.
No interventions assigned to this group
Massage Group
Infants in this group will receive infant massage as an intervention. Massage will be performed by a trained physiotherapist following a standardized protocol. The purpose is to evaluate the effects of massage on physiological stability, weight gain, and overall development in premature infants.
Infant Massage
A standardized infant massage protocol applied by a physiotherapist, including gentle tactile stimulation to promote growth, relaxation, and neuromuscular development in premature infants.
Physiotherapy Group
Infants in this group will receive a single-session physiotherapy intervention based on the Moyer-Mileur protocol. The intervention includes gentle range of motion and flexion-extension exercises designed to stimulate neuromuscular development in premature infants. The effects will be compared with those of massage and routine neonatal care.
Physiotherapy (Moyer-Mileur Protocol)
A single-session physiotherapy intervention consisting of gentle range of motion and flexion-extension exercises following the Moyer-Mileur protocol to stimulate musculoskeletal and neuromotor development in premature infants.
