    • Does a parent-administrated early motor intervention influence general movements and movement character at 3 months of age in infants born preterm? 

      Fjørtoft, Toril Synnøve Larsson; Ustad, Tordis; Kaaresen, Per Ivar; Øberg, Gunn Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-30)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Studies of preterm and term-born infants have shown absent fidgety movements and an abnormal movement character to be related to brain lesions and unfavourable neurological outcomes.</p> <p><i>Aims</i>: The present study examines what effect a parent-administered early intervention program applied to preterm infants in a randomised control trial (RCT) between 34 and 36 ...

    • Early intervention influences positively quality of life as reported by prematurely born children at age nine and their parents; a randomized clinical trial 

      Landsem, Inger Pauline; Handegård, Bjørn Helge; Ulvund, Stein Erik; Kaaresen, Per Ivar; Rønning, John Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-22)
      Background: The Tromsø Intervention Study on Preterms evaluates an early, sensitizing intervention given to parents of prematurely born children (birth-weight < 2000 g). The current study investigated the potential influence of the intervention on children’s self-reported and parental proxy-reported quality of life (QoL) at children’s age of nine. <p>Methods: Participants were randomized to either ...

    • Effect of Transverse Aortic Constriction on Cardiac Structure, Function and Gene Expression in Pregnant Rats 

      Songstad, Nils Thomas; Johansen, David; How, Ole-Jakob; Kaaresen, Per Ivar; Ytrehus, Kirsti; Acharya, Ganesh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Background: There is an increased risk of heart failure and pulmonary edema in pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders. However, in a previous study we found that pregnancy protects against fibrosis and preserves angiogenesis in a rat model of angiotensin II induced cardiac hypertrophy. In this study we test the hypothesis that pregnancy protects against negative effects of increased ...

    • 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 ...

    • Stability and change in longitudinal associations between child behavior problems and maternal stress in families with preterm born children, follow-up after a RCT-study 

      Landsem, Inger Pauline; Handegård, Bjørn Helge; Kaaresen, Per Ivar; Tunby, Jorunn; Ulvund, Stein Erik; Rønning, John Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-31)
      The Tromsø Intervention Study on Preterms (TISP) randomized 146 preterm-born children either to the Mother-Infant Transaction Program (MITP) or to a preterm control group. Previously, significant reductions of child behavior problems and maternal stress have been reported in the intervention group. This follow-up study examines whether the MITP may have affected the longitudinal adaptation between ...

    • 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 ...

    • Two-year motor outcomes associated with the dose of NICU based physical therapy: The Noppi RCT 

      Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Handegård, Bjørn Helge; Campbell, Suzann K.; Ustad, Tordis; Fjørtoft, Toril Larsson; Kaaresen, Per Ivar; Girolami, Gay L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-25)
      Background - Interventions involving both the parent and the preterm infant have demonstrated lasting effects on cognitive outcomes, but motor effects are less salient. It remains unclear when to commence early intervention and if dosages have impact on motor outcomes.<p> <p>Aims - To examine the effect on motor performance at 24-months corrected age following a parent-administered intervention ...
