简要总结

The purpose of this study was to determine whether massage with or without physical exercise impacted weight gain or length of hospital stay for premature infants.

详细描述

Premature infants are often cared for in a fashion that minimizes physical activity in order to reduce stress and stress-related complications. Previous studies have indicated that massage therapy may increase weight gain and enabled earlier discharge of premature infants.

In this study, premature infants were randomly assigned to one of three groups:

A: Control Group

B: Massage Group, 15 minutes twice a day;

C: Massage and physical exercise group 15 minutes each, twice a day.
