Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess whether a short training session using sticky mittens could enhance reaching behavior in preterm infants who are just starting to reach.
- In the trial, 24 preterm infants were divided into experimental and control groups, with only the experimental group receiving training using Velcro-covered mittens for 4 minutes.
- Results showed that trained infants significantly increased their total and bimanual reaches compared to untrained peers, and these improvements were sustained in a follow-up test, although the training did not affect hand openness or grasping abilities.
Objective: We described the general movements (GMs) in the fidgety period and the motor performance of two infants who were exposed to Zika virus (ZIKV) during distinct trimesters of gestation.
Methods: Infants were assessed at 4 and 12 months of age. Prechtl's GM assessment and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale were used.
