Early motor repertoire and motor development at 1, 2 and 5 years in infants born very preterm: A prospective cohort study
Higher GMOS-R scores during the preterm and term period are associated with better motor outcomes at 1-year CA in infants born <30 weeks' gestation, suggesting potential value for early identification of risk of motor delay and subsequent direction of early intervention. This relationship, however, was not evident at 2 and 5-years' CA.
