Fine-grained Fidgety Movement Classification using Active Learning.

Typically developing infants, between the corrected age of 9-20 weeks, produce fidgety movements. These movements can be identified with the General Movement Assessment, but their identification requires trained professionals to conduct the assessment from video recordings. Since trained professionals are expensive and their demand may be higher than their availability, computer vision-based solutions have been developed to assist practitioners.

Robust and Interpretable General Movement Assessment Using Fidgety Movement Detection.

Fidgety movements occur in infants between the age of 9 to 20 weeks post-term, and their absence are a strong indicator that an infant has cerebral palsy. Prechtl's General Movement Assessment method evaluates whether an infant has fidgety movements, but requires a trained expert to conduct it. Timely evaluation facilitates early interventions, and thus computer-based methods have been developed to aid domain experts.
