Ultrasound Study of the Foetus's General Movements
This research explores General Movements (GMs) in a reference population. Abnormal general movements in babies are predictive of autism spectrum disorders or neurodevelopmental deficits.
General movements have received little attention in the context of foetuses, which is why developing a reading grid to analyse general movements in foetuses could be a valuable tool for facilitating early diagnosis and prompt treatment of at-risk babies.
Inclusion: Patient aged over 18; Pregnant from 13 weeks of amenorrhoea; Indication for an ultrasound scan as part of the usual monitoring of her pregnancy; With no particular history or who has had a child with autism spectrum disorders or neurodevelopmental disorders; Able to understand the benefits and constraints of the research; Having given signed consent to participate, as well as that of his/her spouse; Beneficiary of a social security scheme or entitled person (excluding AME).
Exclusion: Pathological pregnancy; Under guardianship, curatorship or legal protection.
