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.
