What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating the early motor and voice behaviors in infants to find biobehavioral markers that indicate physical disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy (CP). This observational study aims to understand how motor and voice factors relate to individual characteristics like gestational age at birth, overall function, and motor skills. The study focuses on infants with newborn-detectable risk and their unique voice production features during the first months of life. Participants will provide 3-minute videos of their child at term-age, 3.5 months, and 9 months corrected age. Parents may also opt for in-person assessments at 3.5 and 9 months. The study uses a range of tests, including General Movement Assessment (GMA), Motor Optimality Score (MOS), voice acoustic analysis, Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Test of Infant Motor Performance, and Ages and Stages Questionnaire to evaluate motor, cognitive, language, and voice impairments. Throughout the study, researchers will analyze spontaneous motor and voice behaviors using video and audio recordings collected at specific timepoints. The assessments will help detect both major impairments and subtle delays in development. Safety follow-up or long-term monitoring are not specified, and participation is centered around video submissions and optional clinical evaluations over the first 9 months of corrected age.
