Effects of hydrotherapy and Hammock positioning on weight gain in low-birth-weight premature newborns: a randomized clinical trial
The results indicate that the combination of hydrotherapy and hammock positioning leads to a significant increase in weight gain in premature newborns. The isolated use of hammock positioning also showed positive effects, but the isolated use of hydrotherapy did not yield significant results (Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials RBR-6 g5f4jz).
