Perinatal risk factors and neuromotor behaviour during the neonatal period

摘要: Preterm birth is associated with an increased risk for neurological handicaps. The purpose of the present study has been: to investigate influence perinatal factors on early neuromotor development during neonatal period; specify parameters particularly sensitive complications; and analyse whether infant's age at test influences results. Bedside examination passive/active muscle tone automatic movements (22 parameters) was performed 36 (101 infants) 40 (153 gestational weeks. Low birthweight long treatment a ventilator had negative behaviour weeks' gestation white matter disturbances strongly affected rooting, sucking, swallowing arm recoil after long-lasting by several factors. passive measuring active demonstrated individual consistency between tests, i.e. rank unchanged 4 weeks later, some other were not as consistent. shows that already period. In addition, provides data period will be related later neurodevelopmental examinations in order evaluate prognostic value testing development.
