ABSTRACT Background Preterm birth is a highly stressful experience for both parents and infants. Parental participation in care enhances developmental outcomes, fosters parent–infant interactions builds parental confidence. However, low adherence has always been challenge the successful implementation of intervention programs NICU at home. It imperative to understand parents' perspectives view challenges that they through their lens while providing early infants born preterm. This study...
The objective of the study was to examine effects traditional Indian dances like Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi and Kathak on motor skills balance in children with Down syndrome compared neuromuscular training. In this randomised double-arm design, 36 aged 6–10 years a score <5 Beighton's hypermobility test participated either classical dance (n = 18) or training 18). Both groups practised an hour-long session day, three days week for six weeks special-schools. Test Gross Motor Development–2...
Abstract Background Globally, very preterm birth is a health concern leading to various developmental difficulties such as poor motor and/or cognitive function. For infants born preterm, family-centered care (FCC) might promote skills over the time in an appropriate enriched environment. The purpose of this study systematically review and assess evidence FCC interventions on neurobehavioral development infants. Additionally, aims determine factors that affect infant development. Methods...

Background: Infants born between 28 to 32 weeks of gestation require assisted ventilation or oxygen support due respiratory distress syndrome. Neurophysiological facilitation (NPF) is the use selective external proprioceptive and tactile stimuli. It further normalizes rate & depth breathing by influencing length-tension relationship muscles. NPF has shown improvement in capacity saturation level among adult ventilated patients. Biomechanical understanding preterm infant’s ribcage...
