Summary

This study watches how babies move in their first months to see if it predicts their development later. Researchers will video-record preterm and full-term infants and score their movements. When the children turn 18 and 36 months old, parents will fill out a questionnaire about their motor, thinking, and social skills. The goal is to find early signs of developmental delays and see if early therapy can help.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Participants in this study are infants who were seen for routine clinical follow-up in the Neonatal Unit and the physiotherapy outpatient clinic at Pardubice Regional Hospital and cooperating rehabilitation centers. During their early visits, these infants had video recordings made of their spontaneous movements as part of standard clinical care. Both preterm and full-term infants are included. When the children reach approximately 18-36 months of age, their parents or legal guardians are invited to complete a developmental questionnaire as part of the study's follow-up.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The child was born either preterm or full-term. Both groups are included in the study. * The child completed a video recording of early movements during routine check-ups in the first months of life. * The parents or legal guardians agree to participate and give informed consent. * The child will be available for follow-up at around 18-36 months of age, when parents will complete a developmental questionnaire. Exclusion Criteria: * There is no usable video recording of the child's early spontaneous movements from the neonatal or early infant period. * The child has a diagnosed medical condition that makes movement assessment impossible (for example, severe congenital anomalies or conditions preventing typical movement). * Parents do not wish to participate or withdraw their consent. * The child is not available for follow-up, meaning that the developmental questionnaire at 18-36 months cannot be completed.
