Application of the Peabody developmental motor scale in the assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders in premature infants / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

With the progress and development of perinatal medicine,the survival rate of preterm infant has been increased significantly. Early complications of premature infants could be effectively con-trolled,but some surviving premature infants left cerebral palsy,motor development retardation,visual impair-ment and other neurodevelopmental disorders,which seriously affected the quality of life.As a part of the neonatal physical examination,Peabody developmental motor scale plays an increasingly important role in understanding the early intelligence development,behavioral capacity,and neurological development of newborns.This paper reviewed the application of the Peabody developmental motor scale in the assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders in premature infants.
