Detecting Early Motor Delays From Newborn to 6 Months
A simple way to assess atypical motor patterns includes observing the baby using a 30-second, 4-position exam. This involves observing the baby in the supine, horizontal suspension, pull to sit, and prone positions at newborn, 2-month, 4-month and 6-month.
When atypical motor patterns are diagnosed early, there is the potential for early intervention, which can change the overall trajectory of development
Pediatric care teams, including nurses, have an important role in coordinating and providing resources and support to parents and caregivers
