Study of Generalized Movements for Early Prediction of Cerebral Palsy

Completed

Conditions studied: Cerebral Palsy, Prematurity

In brief

The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive value of generalized movements in preterm and term infants who are at risk for development of cerebral palsy. The investigators will identify at-risk infants and observe their generalized movements, conduct a two year longitudinal follow-up, and interpret the predictive value of the investigators assessments based on the diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
