Movement imitation therapy for very premature baby movement quality
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether “movement imitation therapy” can improve how a preterm baby moves. It looks at specific movement patterns in babies born very early, aiming to help motor (movement) development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy age and weighed under 1500 grams at birth
- At 34–36 weeks after conception (postmenstrual age), your baby shows an “abnormal general movement” pattern (CS-PR)
- Your family can understand and speak Catalan, Spanish, or English
- You and your family are willing to take part and sign informed consent
- Your baby does NOT have major congenital (from birth) problems or genetic disorders

This study looks at how the brain and body work together to control movement in infants who are at high risk for developmental issues. It may help find early signs of motor problems.
This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
This study tests whether immersive physical therapy (special hands-on activities) helps babies born very early (before 29 weeks) grow and develop better while in the NICU. It may help your baby's movement and strength.
This study tests if videos taken by parents at home can be as good as videos taken by doctors for checking the movement of very premature babies. It may help reduce the need for hospital visits.
This study observes how babies born early or full-term move and make sounds in the hospital. It may help doctors understand early development better.
This study tests a motor (movement) training program for very young infants at higher risk for cerebral palsy or who show early signs of it. The goal is to see whether training improves early movement and development during the first months of life.
