Key Points

The study aims to determine if motor assessments at 12 months can predict balance and gait issues at 4-5 years in very preterm children.
Conducted a prospective cohort study
Evaluated infants using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale at 12 months
Followed motor and gait outcomes at 4-5 years
Infants assessed at 12 months showed correlations with later balance challenges
Identified potential for early interventions in very preterm children
Demonstrated the Alberta Infant Motor Scale's utility in predicting later outcomes

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

Prospective cohort study identifies motor and gait challenges in very preterm children, suggesting early interventions.

AIMS at 12 months may help identify infants at risk of poorer balance and gait challenges, enabling early interventions in children born preterm.
