NCT ID NCT07254780
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a physical therapy program based on the Bobath concept can help very preterm babies (born between 24 and 32 weeks) improve their motor skills and overall development after leaving the hospital. Sixty infants took part, with some receiving the therapy and others acting as a control group. The researchers measured skills like rolling, sitting, and crawling using standard tests, and also asked parents about their child's progress.
