Abstract:

Purpose: The aim of this study is to present the results of physiotherapy and rehabilitation evaluation of a term patient with antenatal intracranial hemorrhage in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Materials and Methods: General Movements (GMs), Hammersmith Infant Neurological Assessment (HINE) and Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) were used to perform the motor evaluation of the infant at postmenstrual 41 and 45 weeks. Positioning within the scope of physiotherapy, massage application to the extremities 3 days a week, neurodevelopmental practices and family training were given. After the infant was taken out of the intensive care unit, physiotherapy was followed. Results: As a result, the GMs result at the 41st week was poor repertoire, the score was 20, and the cramp synchronized GMs was observed at the 45th week, while the score was 11. HINE was found to be 35 at week 41, 45 at week 45, and AIMS to be 7 at week 41, 8 at 45th week. Discussion: The motor development level of the baby with antenatal intracranial hemorrhage started to be followed up in the NICU was found to be below optimal results. It is thought that babies with antenatal bleeding should begin early physiotherapy follow-up and be directed to physiotherapy and rehabilitation program.
