This study evaluated the efficacy of tactile kinesthetic stimulation on the weight of 40 preterm (28 weeks to <37 weeks) infants. Experimental group received two sessions per day of tactile-kinesthetic stimulation, for 10 consecutive days along with routine hospital care (RHC) and control group received only RHC. Increase in mean (SD) weight gain was significantly higher in the experimental group as compared to control group [10.79 (0.62) g vs 4.03 (0.89) g; P< 0.001].
