Families Filming Infants Learning Movement Study

This observational study, called "Families Filming Infants Learning Movement," aims to improve how we detect neurodevelopmental problems, especially cerebral palsy (CP), early in life. Researchers will observe movement patterns in infants through video recordings and special assessments. They want to find out the best time to use a specific assessment (Prechtl General Movements Assessment) to predict neurodevelopmental issues at two years of age. The study plans to enroll 350 infants: 100 healthy, full-term babies and 250 infants who are at higher risk for CP due to conditions like being born early, having low birth weight, or experiencing neonatal encephalopathy (a brain injury around birth). The study is looking for infants between 10 and 20 weeks old.

Study design
This is a prospectively recruited cohort study, meaning researchers will follow a group of infants over time. It aims to enroll 350 participants.
What's involved
Participants will have their movement patterns observed through video recordings and neurodevelopmental assessments. The study will measure these at 4 months and again at 2 years of age.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for two years, with assessments at 4 months and 2 years.
