General Movements Assessment and Amiel-Tison Neurologic Examination in Neonates and Infants: Correlations and Prognostic Values Regarding Neuromotor Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Background: Our study aimed to investigate whether the general movements assessment (GMA) and Amiel-Tison Neurologic Examination performed at term-equivalent age (TEA) and 12 weeks corrected age (CA) could predict the occurrence of cerebral palsy (CP) and delayed gross motor milestones in a sample of term and preterm infants and whether the predictive values could be increased by using the two examinations during the same visit. Methods: A total of 70 infants (62 preterm and 8 at term) were examined at TEA and 12 weeks CA using GMs (General Movements) and Amiel-Tison (AT) examinations. We determined the correlation between the results of the examinations and several selected items (scarf sign, popliteal angle, and axial tone) and neuromotor outcomes (presence of cerebral pals
