Assessing motor and voice development in infants

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify motor-voice profiles in infants that may indicate physical disabilities, particularly focusing on those at risk for Cerebral Palsy. Parents will upload videos of their infants at specific developmental milestones, and optional in-person assessments will be available at later stages. The study seeks to explore the relationship between motor function, voice production, and neurodevelopmental outcomes, leveraging advancements in behavioral observation methodologies. By examining these connections, the research hopes to uncover early biobehavioral markers for infants with developmental concerns.
