General Movement (GM) assessment is one of the best methods to predict cerebral palsy in high-risk infants.
This study addressed predictive value of GM-quality for neurodevelopmental preschool age in low-risk infants.
Definitely abnormal (DA) GMs at 2 weeks were associated with minor neurodevelopmental impairments at preschool age.
DA GMs had an excellent specificity and NPV, but a low sensitivity and PPV for minor neurodevelopmental impairments.
Mildly abnormal GMs at 2 weeks and 3 months were not associated with neurodevelopmental outcome at preschool age.
