Abstract

<p>[Purpose] To investigate whether developmental stages focused interventions are effective in preventing motor developmental delays in a very low birth weight infant. [Participant and Methods] The participant was a baby girl who was born weighing 755 g. Developmental stages focused interventions took into account the modified age of the child and allowed the child to experience movements that should be acquired during the next developmental stages. The frequency of the intervention was twice a week and the intervention duration was 40 minutes per session. [Results] In this infant, the process of motor development to the sitting position was similar to that of a regular term baby. [Conclusion] The results of developmental stages focused interventions for a very low birth weight infant suggest that they may be effective in preventing motor developmental delays.</p>
