Brain electrical activity and oxygenation by Reflex Locomotion Therapy and massage in preterm and term infants. A protocol study

Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) are techniques for assessing brain electrical activity and oxygenation. There is evidence of brain electrical activity and oxygenation in preterm/full-term infants by tactile stimuli but none by Reflex Locomotion Therapy....

Description
Summary:Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) are techniques for assessing brain electrical activity and oxygenation. There is evidence of brain electrical activity and oxygenation in preterm/full-term infants by tactile stimuli but none by Reflex Locomotion Therapy. Their knowledge will address the delays in motor development that preterm infants often present. The objective will be to establish the differences in preterm and full-term infants in relation to brain electrical activity and oxygenation, and to test differences between Reflex Locomotion Therapy and massage.
