Brief Summary:
Cerebral Palsy CP is a major developmental problem Major risk groups of CP are preterm infants and multiple pregnancies Previous studies using the General Movements methodology demonstrated early identification of CP as early as 3 month of age This method was implemented mainly on preterm infants this study goal is to enlarge the scope of the methodology to infants of multiple pregnancies A second goal is to study early motor development and its future consequences by comparing the development of the infants of the same multiple pregnancy
Detailed Description:
Cerebral Palsy CP is a motor development problem with a prevalence of 2 per 1000 live birth There are many etiologies to the syndrome such as brain malformations infections during pregnancy pre and perinatal anoxic brain damage etc A high risk group for these causes is preterm infants and infants of multiple pregnancies
Major motor deficits or brain insults are recognizable at early weeks but most of them are more subtle and are recognized at the age of one to two years The General Movements methodology was developed by Prechtl HF is aimed to identify motor development deficits as early as 3 month The methodology is using video recording to describe a trajectory of the development of spontaneous movements between birth and 3 month Deviation from the trajectory was highly correlated with future motor mal-development
In our work we will study the motor development of infants of multiple pregnancies These infants are one of the risk groups to develop CP We will use the General movements methodology to identify CP as early as possible It will generalize its predicative power to this risk group Moreover we will enlarge our knowledge of motor development by comparing the development of infants of the same pregnancy
