Quality of reaching and postural control in young preterm infants is related to neuromotor outcome at 6 years.

Abstract:

:A substantial proportion of the "apparently normal" preterm infants exhibit minor and moderate dysfunctions in neuromotor outcome as they grow older. Birth characteristics, minor abnormalities on the neonatal ultrasound scan of the brain, and motor milestones have only limited value in the early detection of these children. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether nonoptimal reaching and relatively immobile postural behavior at an early age are associated with dysfunctional neuromotor and behavioural development at school age. The preterm children and full-term children of the present follow-up study participated in a previous study on the characteristics of reaching kinematics and the kinetics of posture at 4 and 6 mo corrected age. At the age of 6 y, the children were re-assessed by means of the Touwen neurologic assessment, the Movement ABC, and the Child Behavior Check List. The results demonstrated that in preterm children without cerebral palsy, a lack of successful reaching at 4 mo and a nonoptimal quality of reaching at 6 mo are related to the development of a complex form of minor neurologic dysfunction (MND) and fine manipulative disability at 6 y. Thus, these early signs indicate the presence of clinically significant brain dysfunction. A relatively immobile postural behavior at 4 mo was associated with simple MND, coordination problems, and at 6 mo with a worse score on the Movement ABC and internalizing behavior. This suggests that a relatively immobile postural behavior points to a mild form of brain dysfunction.
