Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Preterm infants are at high risk of neuromotor disorders. Recent advances in digital technology and machine learning algorithms have enabled the tracking and recognition of anatomical key points of the human body. It remains unclear whether the proposed pose estimation model and the skeleton-based action recognition model for adult movement classification are applicable and accurate for infant motor assessment. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI) model framework for movement recognition in full-term and preterm infants.
