Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement in neuropsychomotor development, assessed by the General Movement Checklist Method (assessment of baby's movement through filming) with improvement from poor movement repertoire to normal movement (effects on muscle tone results and motor patterns), suitable for the baby's gestational age . Data were collected before the intervention and at the end of the intervention, when the baby reached 29 days of life (neonatal period). It is expected to stimulate the babies' movements, so that they are of normal repertoire after the proposed intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement in neuropsychomotor development, assessed by the Brazelton Sleep/Wake Scale, assessing the behavioral state, emphasizing the baby's sensory processing and interactive responses. Data were collected daily before and after the intervention. It is expected to improve the baby's behavioral state, remaining in the appropriate period of sleep/wake for neurological development. | — |
