Preterm baby study seeks clues to motor development
NCT ID NCT07310459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will examine how factors like how early a baby is born, their birth weight, and other birth-related risks affect their ability to move and control their body (gross motor skills). Researchers will look at the medical records of 160 preterm infants and assess their motor development using a standard scale. The goal is to better understand which babies might need extra support early on.
