Movement-based Infant Intervention

Infant Development Clinical Trial

Official title: Movement-based Intervention to Promote Positive Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Infants at Risk for Developmental Delay

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective is to pilot test the effectiveness of an evidence-based intervention to promote positive neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants at risk for developmental delay. The intervention promotes movement experience from 3 months to sitting onset.

Clinical Trial Description

Aim: Our purpose was to assess daily leg movement rate before and after a caregiver-provided in-home intervention for infants at risk for developmental disability. We also assessed adherence and quality of caregiver-child interaction. Methods: Twelve infants, at risk for developmental disabilities, and their caregivers participated in an intervention focused on increasing leg movements. Intervention started between 3- and 6-months cor- rected age and ended once the infant was able to sit independently or at 9 months corrected age, whichever occurred first. Infants were assessed monthly. ;
