BACKGROUND: Ultrasound observation of fetal movement has documented general trends in motor development and fetal age when motor response to stimulation is observed. Evaluation of fetal movement quality, in addition to specific motor activity, may improve documentation of motor development and highlight specific motor responses to stimulation.
AIM: The aim of this investigation was to assess fetal movement at 26 and 36-weeks gestation during three conditions (baseline, immediate response to vibro-acoustic stimulation (VAS), and post-response).
DESIGN: A prospective, longitudinal design was utilized.
SUBJECTS: Twelve normally developing fetuses, eight females and four males, were examined with continuous ultrasound imaging.
OUTCOME MEASURES: …
