Effect of a Novel Postural Support Device Versus Conventional Swaddling on Postural Development in Preterm Neonates Over One Week: A Quasi-Experimental Trial
The novel postural support device, when combined with physiotherapy, significantly enhanced postural symmetry and flexion in preterm neonates compared to conventional swaddling. These findings highlight the importance of structured, developmentally supportive positioning in optimizing early neuromotor outcomes for preterm infants in the NICU.
