Using the center of pressure movement analysis in evaluating spontaneous movements in infants: a comparative study with general movements assessment
ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated the possible avenues for using COP movement analysis to objectively detect the absent FMs and MOS-R total score in clinical settings. Although the method presented in this study requires further validation, it may complement observational GMA and be clinically useful for infant screening purposes, particularly in clinical settings where access to expertise in observational GMA is not available.
