Psychomotor Performance of Preterm Infants

Psychomotor Performance of Preterm Infants Born Between 24 and 35 Weeks of Gestation

The first part involved 120 children in grades II and III of elementary schools. From this group, children were qualified for the second part of the study - 35 randomly selected children born on time (BoT) and 35 children born before 35 weeks of pregnancy (PB). EUROFIT tests, Vienna Tests and postural stability tests were carried out in both groups.
