Studies have found that there is a tight interdependence between mental, neuromusculoskeletal, and movement-related functions in terms of global development. Pediatricians, parents, child-care, and teachers must be aware that the growing brain and body are deceptively capable of hiding cognitive and motor functions delays and deficits. For this reason, early diagnosis and intervention is essential for children born premature or with low birth weight. Early preterm infants are more likely to have delays in fine motor and gross motor functions, working memory, and sensory integration. This cohort was also found to display deficits in visuomotor, visuospatial, cognitive, and other skills related to education. There is a wealth of studies on very preterm children. However, moderate to late preterm infants should be monitored for early diagnosis of neuropsychological disorders related to visual-motor, visual-perception, and language development.
