    • Concurrent and predictive validity of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 administered to infants born preterm in Norway 

      Ustad, Tordis; Brandal, Merethe; Campbell, Suzann K; Girolami, Gay L; Sinding-Larsen, Charlotte; Øberg, Gunn Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-23)
      The correlation between the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2) has not previously been assessed in Norwegian infants. Our purpose was to investigate the concurrent validity of the AIMS and the PDMS-2 in a group of high-risk infants, and to investigate the predictive validity of the two tests for atypical motor function at 24 months post term age ...

    • Effects of a parent-administered exercise program in the neonatal intensive care unit: Dose does matter-a randomized controlled trial 

      Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Girolami, Gay L; Campell, Suzann K.; Ustad, Tordis; Heuch, Ivar; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Kaaresen, Per Ivar; Aulie, Vibeke Smith; Jørgensen, Lone (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-06)
      Background - Despite the risk of delayed motor development in infants born preterm, knowledge about interventions in the neonatal intensive care unitt (NICU) and the effects of dosing is sparse. <p> <p>Objective - The objectives of this study were to examine the effectiveness of a parent-administered exercise program in the NICU on motor outcome at 3 months corrected age (CA) and the effect of ...

    • Motor control and skill acquisition in pediatric physical therapy: an enactive proposal 

      Sørvoll, Marit; Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Girolami, Gay L (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-13)
      Theories of motor control and skill acquisition strongly influence and guide various fields of clinical practice. In last decades, changes in theoretical frameworks related to the conceptualization of brain plasticity, functional structures within the child, and environment have led to a revision of therapy approaches progressing from therapist-driven to child-initiated approaches. Even though ...

    • The Significance of Touch in Pediatric Physiotherapy 

      Sørvoll, Marit; Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Girolami, Gay L (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-31)
      Change in theoretical framework over the last decades and recent research in pediatric physiotherapy, has created a debate surrounding therapeutic touch. What is the role of or is there a need for handling and hands-on facilitated guidance (facilitation)? Does it limit and/or interfere with children’s learning and development? It is frequently argued that therapeutic touch represents a passive ...

    • Study protocol : an early intervention program to improve motor outcome in preterm infants : a randomized controlled trial and a qualitative study of physiotherapy performance and parental experiences 

      Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Campbell, Suzann K; Girolami, Gay L; Ustad, Tordis; Jørgensen, Lone; Kaaresen, Per Ivar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Background Knowledge about early physiotherapy to preterm infants is sparse, given the risk of delayed motor development and cerebral palsy. Methods/Design A pragmatic randomized controlled study has been designed to assess the effect of a preventative physiotherapy program carried out in the neonatal intensive care unit. Moreover, a qualitative study is carried out to assess the physiotherapy ...

    • A systematic synthesis of qualitative studies on parents’ experiences of participating in early intervention programs with their infant born preterm 

      Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Sørvoll, Marit; Labori, Cathrine; Girolami, Gay L; Håkstad, Ragnhild B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-13)
      Early intervention programs involving both the parent and the infant born preterm have demonstrated positive effects on developmental outcomes for the children. However, studies have also shown that parental engagement and adherence when implementing intervention programs can be challenging. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive description and new insights into key messages gleaned ...
