| الوصف: | OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of using the NeuroMotion smartphone application for remote General Movements Assessment for screening of infants for cerebral palsy in Kathmandu, Nepal. METHOD: Thirty-one term born infants at risk of cerebral palsy due to birth asphyxia or neonatal seizures were recruited for the follow-up at Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, 1st October 2021 to 7th January 2022. Parents filmed their children at home using the app at 3 months’ age and the videos were assessed for technical quality using a standardized form and for fidgety movements by Prechtl’s General Movements Assessment. Usability of the app was evaluated through a parental survey. RESULTS: Twenty families sent in altogether 46 videos out of which 35 had approved technical quality. Sixteen children had at least one video with approved technical quality. Three infants lacked fidgety movements. The level of agreement between assessors was acceptable (Krippendorf alpha 0.781). Parental answers to the usability survey were in general positive. INTERPRETATION: Engaging parents in screening of cerebral palsy with the help of a smartphone-aided remote General Movements Assessment is possible in the urban area of a South Asian lower middle-income country. |
