Study Overview
Brief Summary
To explore the association among anthropometric parameters and neuromotor behaviour in neonates for early identification and prediction of later neuromotor deficit.
Detailed Description
The association between anthropometric (birth weight, length and occipitofrontal circumference) measurement and hands-on measurement of above mentioned anthropometric dimensions and demographic dimension (bilateral forearm, midarm, calf and thigh) with neuromotor behaviour were explored.
