The whole-body movement quality assessment is a new, highly predictive early neurological assessment technique originated in Europe. It allows for the early prediction (within 3 months) of the presence of motor developmental disorders such as cerebral palsy by recording the whole-body movement of the child in the supine position on camera, facilitating early rehabilitation. It is also possible to predict children with normal motor development and to relieve the anxiety and over-intervention of the whole family. The technique is simple and requires no sedation or other special preparations. It only takes about 10 minutes to film the baby while he or she is awake and happy and moving. Each child is usually photographed twice, the first time for the writhing movement phase, between the third day of life and 4 weeks of corrected gestational age, and the second time for the restless movement phase, between 9 and 15 weeks of corrected gestational age, with additional assessments and close follow-up if suspicious or abnormalities are found. This method is especially suitable for preterm infants. Cao Aihua, Department of Child Health Care, Qilu Hospital, Shandong University
