خلاصة:

Objective: Low Birth Weight neonates need complementary interventions (e.g. tactile kinesthetic stimulation) to promote their development. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Tactile- Kinesthetic Stimulation (TKS) on motor development of Low Birth Weight neonates. Method: In this clinical trial study, sample was made out of 40 inborn LBW neonates who were divided into two groups randomly. TKS was provided for three 15-minute periods per day for 10 consecutive days to the test group, with the massages consisting of moderate of pressure strokes in prone position and kinesthetic exercises consisting of flexion and extension of limbs in supine position. All measurements were taken before and after completion of the study with the same equipment and by the same person. Results: Results indicated that motor behavior in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group after the 10 days TKS (P-Value≤0.0001). Discussion: TKS could be an effective intervention in development of motor behavior of LBW neonates. Because very little is known about neonate's behavior, it seems to need more studies in other aspects of behavior in LBW neonates.

Effect of Tactile-Kinesthetic Stimulation on Motor Development of Low Birth Weight Neonates Reihaneh Askary kachoosangy Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Faranak Aliabadi* PhD candidate Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Low Birth Weight neonates need complementary interventions (e. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Tactile- Kinesthetic Stimulation (TKS) on motor development of Low Birth Weight neonates. After informed consent was taken from all parents, neonates were randomly assigned to the treatment and control groups based on a stratification of gestational age, birth weight, birth length, head circumference at birth, gender, Apgar scores (1 and 5 min), prematurity or Intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR). Results As shown in table 1 and 2, neonates in both the treatment and the control groups were matched evenly for all parameters (gestational age, birth weight, birth length, head circumference at birth, gender, Apgar scores (1 and 5 min), prematurity or IUGR and motor behavior. According to the results (table 3 and 4), treatment group was more mature in motor subsystems (average of general tone, motor maturity, pull-to-sit, defensive, and activity level) and there was statistical significant difference between 2 groups (p-value= 0. At the end of 10 days stimulation that is similar to intervention of this study, infants of treatment group more mature patterns in the motor behavior (P-Value=0. Her reports indicated that 10 days tactile kinesthetic stimulation does not effect on motor behavior of premature infants (P-Value = 0. Effect of Tactile- kinesthetic Stimulation in weight gaining of preterm infants hospitalized in intensive care unit.
