Home therapy for babies at risk of developmental delays
Part of Brain & nervous system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two kinds of home-based physical therapy (live video sessions vs. recorded sessions) for babies who were born early or with low birth weight and may have motor delays. The goal is to see which method helps improve your baby's movement and development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at or before 32 weeks of pregnancy or weighed 1500 grams (about 3 lbs 5 oz) or less at birth.
- Your baby is between 6 and 9 months old (adjusted for prematurity) at the start of the study.
- Your baby is already being followed by a pediatric neurologist for developmental concerns.
- Your baby has a score in the low range on standard motor development tests (HINE ≤73 or AIMS ≤5th percentile).
- You have a smartphone, tablet, or computer with video calling and internet access to participate in the therapy sessions.
- You agree to follow the study plan and give your consent to participate.

This study uses small wearable sensors to track your baby's movements and development. It is designed for infants who are at risk for delays due to conditions like premature birth, brain injury, or other medical issues.
This study tests a home-based physical activity program using special equipment and telehealth (video calls) to help young children with cerebral palsy or severe motor delays become more active. The program is done in your own home with your help and support.
This study looks at whether babies who are at risk for developmental delays also face fewer opportunities in their home environment. They compare these babies to typically developing babies to see if there are differences.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for babies with congenital muscular torticollis (a tight neck muscle causing the head to tilt). One group gets standard in-person therapy, the other does therapy through video calls. The goal is to see if home-based remote sessions can be as effective as clinic visits.
This study tests if starting physical therapy early can improve motor skills in babies who had complications at birth. It may help infants born prematurely or with conditions like bleeding in the brain, low oxygen, or infections.
This trial tests an early intervention program called SAFE for babies aged 3–12 months who had complications at birth or were born prematurely. The goal is to help their brain and movement development through specialized therapy.
