Bucket hydrokinesiotherapy in hospitalized preterm newborns: a randomized controlled trial

Conclusion: The hydrokinesiotherapy caused isolated changes in the physiological parameters and led to a more active behavioral state in hospitalized preterm newborns with low birth weight. These changes did not affect the newborns' clinical conditions. The technique was safe, but clinical outcomes, including body weight gain, were not improved.PMID:34100691 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1926025
