AIMS: To explore how the General Movements Assessment (GMsA) relates to traditional newborn and infant measures currently in use. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cohort design was used to examine concurrent validity of the GMsA in Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) survivors (n=100) at three age points: preterm (34 weeks gestational age GA), term (38-40 weeks GA), and post term (12 weeks adjusted age [AA]) with traditional assessments (see below). Correlation analysis was used to determine the strength of the associations between tests at each age point. SUBJECTS: Preterm infants born at |
