Adding Motion to Contact: A New Model for Low-cost Family Centered Very-early Onset Intervention in Very Preterm-born Infants

This project is a Randomised Clinical Trial that includes a tactile-kinesthetic somatosensory stimulation or family centred education intervention with families of preterm infants at risk for sensori-motor disorders. This is a study will be based on the adaptation of the intervention previously described and published by Guzzetta and colleagues (2009), and will include an improved and increased kinesthetic component, to be performed in infants born very prematurely and preterm infants with a documented brain injury. The intervention will start in neonatology during the infant hospitalization and continue at the child's home until two months of correct age.
