Background and Objective: The analysis of spontaneous movements of preterm infants is important because anomalous motion patterns can be a sign of neurological disorders caused by lesions in the developing brain. A diagnosis in the first weeks of child's life is crucial to plan timely and appropriate rehabilitative interventions. An accurate...

Preterm birth is sometimes associated with neurological disorders caused by lesions of the developing brain. A diagnosis in the first weeks of child's life is important to plan timely and appropriate rehabilitative interventions for infants at risk of neuro-motor disabilities. A largely adopted method for the early diagnosis of neuro-motor...

Aim: To determine whether isolated low-grade germinal matrix-intraventricular haemorrhages (LG-GMH-IVH) and low-grade punctate cerebellar haemorrhages (LG-CBH) contribute to the neurodevelopment of infants born preterm with very low birthweight (VLBW). Method: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted on infants born with VLBW...
