Abstract
The supine posture of 15 low-risk preterm infants was studied to establish whether they have a preferred posture and, if so, whether it changes with age. No over-all preferred posture was found. Almost always one posture was adopted most frequently, but often a great variety of other postures were adopted almost as frequently. There was no correlation between postmenstrual age and preferred postures, or the duration of longest uninterrupted posture.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
