Background Motor development occurs throughout periods of motor skill acquisition,
adjustment and variability. The objectives of this study were to analyze and compare …

Infants' minutes long babbling bouts or repetitive reaching for or mouthing of whatever they
can get their hands on gives very much the impression of active exploration, a building block …

The authors' aim was to verify the correlation between segmental trunk control and gross
motor performance in healthy preterm (PT) and full-term (FT) infants aged 6 and 7 months …

Infants born pre-term are at an increased risk for developmental, behavioral, and motor
delay and subsequent disability. When these problems are detected early, clinical …

Aims Our objective was to identify the most common variables used for infant reaching
assessment, describe values of these variables across the first year of life, and identify …

Objective To examine whether a brief reaching training with sticky mittens was effective to
improve reaching behavior in newly reaching preterm infants. Methods In this randomized …

Recent neuroimaging studies allowed us to explore abnormal brain structures and
interhemispheric connectivity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Behavioral researchers …

In order to acquire reaching and independent sitting, refinement of trunk control is needed
by gradually and progressively incorporating the head, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral …

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of short-term training on reaching behavior in
infants at the onset of reaching. The study was a single-blind, parallel group design …

Introduction: It is crucial to identify neurodevelopmental disorders in infants early on for
timely intervention to improve their long-term outcomes. Combining natural play with …
