Abstract(s)
Premature infants often presents a different CNS structure and maturity, that frequently has influence on postural control (PC), and prematurity is also a risk factor for spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). The movement sequence from sitting to standing (STS), being one of motor learning tasks that requires PC at the level of the ankle, seems to be a functional task often compromised in premature infants with and without CP.
