Assessment of motor repertoire and neurodevelopmental level in infants with cystic fibrosis: a follow-up study
Conclusion: Cognitive and motor development was delayed in more than half of (5/9) the infants with CF. Neurodevelopmental assessment should be done as early as possible and neurodevelopmental level should be followed in infants with CF. If required, these infants should be supported by early developmental physiotherapy and rehabilitation.Keywords: Cystic fibrosis, neurodevelopment, physiotherapy.
