Understanding movement in infants at risk
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before or at 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby was born after 28 weeks and has a brain injury.
- Your baby was born full-term and had a lack of oxygen or a stroke.
- Your baby does not have a genetic syndrome, a problem with their lower limbs, or spina bifida.
- For typically developing babies: born full-term, normal birth weight, normal head size, and healthy at birth.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how high-risk infants (especially those born early or with brain concerns) develop their thinking and movement skills over time, comparing them to healthy babies. The goal is to better understand and support their development.
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.
This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
This study follows infants who already have cerebral palsy or who seem at high risk to develop it. It looks at early brain and movement signs over time, which may help doctors recognize CP sooner and plan support.
This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
This trial aims to find and support babies who are at risk of cerebral palsy (CP) as early as possible. It checks specific early signs and brain or health risk factors, then helps determine whether early intervention might improve outcomes.
