Video - Parent
"Positioning and handling techniques to be used with the premature infant are demonstrated in this videotape. Background information describes three major categories of risk that may contribute to an infant's movement outcome: biological risk, risks secondary to biological factors, and environmental or social risks. Three motor profiles of the high-risk infant are also demonstrated: the hypertonic profile, the hypotonic profile, and the typical premie profile. Positioning and handling techniques appropriate for these profiles are illustrated. Three simple exercises that caregivers can use with older, medically stable infants are also demonstrated." -Child Development Media, Inc.
