TLDR
The technique of assessing spontaneous motor activity can identify and distinguish between those infants who require early intervention for neurological abnormalities and those who do not, and can be done on very young infants.About:

Prechtl's Assessment of General Movements: A Diagnostic Tool for the Functional Assessment of the Young Nervous System.
TL;DR: The assessment of GMs is quick, noninvasive, even nonintrusive, and cost-effective compared with other techniques, e.g., magnetic resonance imaging, brain ultrasound, and traditional neurological examination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protecting the psychological health of children through effective communication about COVID-19.
TL;DR: Listen to what children believe about COVID-19 transmission is essential; providing children with an accurate explanation that is meaningful to them will ensure that they do not feel unnecessarily frightened or guilty.
Journal ArticleDOI
General movements: a window for early identification of children at high risk for developmental disorders
TL;DR: The quality of general movements at 2 to 4 months postterm (so-called fidgety GM age) has been found to have the highest predictive value, and the presence of definitely abnormal GMs at this age puts a child at very high risk for cerebral palsy.

TL;DR: This systematic review evaluates the accuracy of predictive assessments and investigations used to assist in the diagnosis of cerebral palsy in preschool‐age children (<5y).

TL;DR: As the life expectancy of individuals with CP approaches that of the general population, therapies must be developed that address the needs of adults ageing with disability.

The spectrum of leukomalacia using cranial ultrasound.
TL;DR: Careful ophthalmological examination of infants will enable us to identify infants with cerebral visual impairment during the first few months of life, allowing the use of special programs aimed at promoting visual development.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence of fetal behaviour. I. Qualitative aspects.
TL;DR: The emergence of spontaneous fetal motility during the first 20 weeks of gestation was studied longitudinally in 11 healthy nulliparae, using real-time ultrasound to study the onset and developmental course of spontaneously generated specific fetal movement patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Qualitative changes of spontaneous movements in fetus and preterm infant are a marker of neurological dysfunction.

Motor behaviour in the growth retarded fetus
TL;DR: It is speculated that the reduced variability of motor patterns may find its origin in a change of central neural function, just as the reduced heart rate variability and decreased breathing irregularity found in IUGR fetuses.
