What this Trial Is About
This study examines how early motor behavior in infants relates to their later psychomotor development. Researchers will observe both preterm and full-term infants during the first months of life, using video-based assessments to evaluate spontaneous movements and early postural control. These early motor patterns will be scored with the Motor Optimality Score - Revised (MOS-R). When the children reach 18 and 36 months of age, their development in areas such as motor skills, communication, sensory processing, and social behavior will be evaluated through a caregiver-completed questionnaire. The purpose of the study is to determine whether early motor quality can predict later developmental outcomes, whether preterm and full-term infants with similar motor scores develop differently, and whether early therapy may improve outcomes for infants with low MOS-R results.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- The child was born either preterm or full-term
- The child completed a video recording of early movements during routine check-ups in the first months of life
- The parents or legal guardians agree to participate and give informed consent
- The child will be available for follow-up at around 18-36 months of age, when parents will complete a developmental questionnaire
You will not qualify if you...
- No usable video recording of the child's early spontaneous movements from the neonatal or early infant period
- The child has a diagnosed medical condition that makes movement assessment impossible (e.g., severe congenital anomalies or conditions preventing typical movement)
- Parents do not wish to participate or withdraw their consent
- The child is not available for follow-up, meaning the developmental questionnaire at 18-36 months cannot be completed
