Abstract

Infants with premature, brain injury are at a high risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. There are many options to evaluate the neurologic and developmental disability, among which a large number of studies have proved that general movement assessment is a reliable and effective assessment tool for the ultra-early prediction of neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy. General movement assessment includes global general movement assessment and detailed general movement assessment. Global general movement assessment is a qualitative evaluation. Detailed general movement assessment quantifies the motion patterns according to general movement optimality score and motor optimality score, which is not only helpful to observe the changes in the developmental trajectory of the movements in infants and evaluate the effects of early intervention, but also beneficial to predict different neurodevelopmental outcomes more comprehensively and accurately.
