Article Synopsis
- The Motor Optimality Score-Revised (MOS-R) evaluates spontaneous behaviors in infants, focusing on those born moderate-late preterm (MLP) and those at high risk (HR) due to factors like very preterm birth or abnormal neuroimaging.
- A study involving 181 infants found that the HR group had significantly lower MOS-R scores and a higher likelihood of aberrant General Movement Assessment (GMA) scores compared to the MLP group, indicating increased neurodevelopmental risks.
- The results suggest that higher-risk infants, particularly those with certain medical conditions, are more likely to have poorer motor outcomes, highlighting the importance of monitoring developmental progress in these populations.
