Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the relationship between the severity of minor neurological dysfunction (MND) and performance of a simple visual-motor task in a group of children born preterm. Selected qualitative and quantitative movement characteristics were studied. As expected, differences in speed, grasp patterns and finger configuration during a reach-to-grasp movement were associated with severity of neurological dysfunction. Our results suggest that group of children with complex MND differs substantially from children with simple MND and neurologically normal children.
