Ankle Movements During Supine Kicking in Infants Born Preterm
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of musculoskeletal factors that influence supine kicking of infants born preterm has implications for early intervention.
HYPOTHESES: Differences exist between infants born preterm and full-term in ankle kinematics during supine kicking, which are attributable to passive measures of the gastrocnemius/soleus (g/s) muscle tendon unit (MTU).
