Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of early assisted physical exercise and active exercise on physical and neuropsychological development of premature infants and low weight infants,so as to provide evidence for its role in facilitating the development of premature infants and low weight infants. Methods A total of 218 premature infants and low weight infants with gestational age less than 36 weeks or birth weight lower than 2 500 g were enrolled in this study from Maternal and Child Health Hospital,Jin'an District. Infants were divided into different groups according to the frequency and duration of the passive and active motor training based on the willing of their parents. The Gesell Development Scale was used to evaluate the neuropsychological development of the study subjects,and the Gesell scores of the three groups were compared at the corrected age of 6 and 12 months. Results The higher frequency and duration of early assisted physical exercise and active motor training tended to significantly increase the physical measurements and intelligence development quotients of preterm/low weight infants at corrected age of 6 and 12 months (P< 0.05). Compared with the group with training frequency ≤1 d/week,preterm/low weight infants in the 2—3 d/week and ≥4 d/week groups had higher weight,length,and head circumference measurements and higher developmental quotients in the adaptive,gross motor,and fine motor energy areas at the corrected age of 6 and 12 months,except for the head circumference at corrected age 6 months (P<0.05). Compared with the preterm/low birth weight infants who took training for 0—2 months,those who took training for 5—6 months had higher weight and length measurements and higher developmental quotients in the adaptive,fine motor,and social behavioral domains at the corrected age of 6 and 12 months (P<0.05). Conclusion Early assisted physical exercise and active motor training can effectively promote the physical and neuropsychological development of premature infants and low weight infants.
