The Effect of the Movement Imitation Therapy in Preterm (MIT-PB) in Motor Behavior's Quality.
Sponsor: Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona Dr. Josep Trueta
Summary
This study aims to assess the effect of a parent-administered intervention program based on MIT-PB in preterm with abnormal general movements during the preterm period. We will describe the short and long-term differences between infants exposed to MIT-PB and infants who follow current standard care.

Interventions
MIT-PB, movement imitation therapy for preterm.
The instant an infant showed CS or PR movements, the therapists (or a therapist and a parent) intervened by gently guiding the infants' limbs so as to maneuver and smoothen their movements, thereby imitating normal GM sequences as closely as possible, adding variability to the movement
