Conditions
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.
Eligibility

- Families willing to participate who have the informed consent
Exclusion Criteria4
- Infants with congenital abnormalities and/or genetic disorders

Interventions
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
