Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and short-term effectiveness of early intervention delivered via telerehabilitation on the gross motor development of preterm infants.

The motor development of preterm infants will be assessed through video recordings. Based on these assessments and in collaboration with the parents, an intervention program will be developed. The parents will implement this intervention with their infants over a three-month period. Following this, motor development will be reassessed via video recordings.

Early intervention with telerehabilitation

All premature infants aged 3 to 5 months included in the study were assessed for motor development using the General Movements Assessment (GMs) and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), based on videos submitted by their parents. Following the video evaluations, parents were contacted via video call. An intervention program was developed in collaboration with the parents, guided by the video-based assessments. The intervention program focused on the acquisition of age-appropriate motor development and included components such as massage, positioning, trunk control, movement selectivity, and anti-gravity activities. It was delivered to parents through synchronous. Parents were advised to implement the program for 30 minutes per day, 4 days a week, over a 12-week period. After the intervention, the infants were re-evaluated using the AIMS via video call.
