The motor optimality of infants who have had Meningitis in the first months of life: A retrospective study
For infants who had meningitis, MOS-R scores were associated with development at 12 months of age. The MOS-R, used in addition to GMA may have the potential to identify infants who would benefit from early intervention to support their development. Further research is needed to understand the use of the MOS-R, alongside other screening tools for populations at risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.
