Spontaneous Motor-voice Assessment in Infants Using Video and Audio Recordings.
The goal of this observational study is to discover features of normal and disordered motor-voice profiles that are biobehavioral markers of physical disability in infants.. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Identify voice factors among infants with newborn-detectable risk. Identify association between individual characteristics (Gestational age at birth, global function, motor-function) and voice factors.
Examine unique features of voice production that are present in infants with high-risk for Cerebral Palsy (CP).
Participants will be asked to upload a 3-minute videos of their child at term-age, 3.5-, and 9-months of age.
At the 3.5-month and 9-month time point parents can choose to attend an optional in-person assessment with their child.
Inclusion: gestational age of 24 0/7 - 41 6/7,; admitted to the NICU,; medically stable by 40 weeks of gestation (including off ventilator support),; born to mothers 18 - 43 years old at the time of birth,; one parent fluent in English.
Exclusion: diagnosis of a genetic syndrome (e.g. Trisomy 21),; musculoskeletal deformity,; failed hearing screen.
