Effect of Tactile-Kinesthetic Stimulation on Neuromuscula Maturity among Pre-term Infants at Selected Hospital
Abstract:
The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Tactile-Kinesthetic stimulation (TKS) on level of neuromuscular maturity among pre-term infants. True-experimental pre-test -post-test research design was adopted among 60 pre-term infants by simple random sampling lottery method. The pre-term infants in the study group were given TKS thrice daily for 10 days. The pre- and post-test level of neuromuscular.maturity was assessed by using Ballard's Maturational Assessment Scale. The study revealed that there was a significant and remarkable improvement in the level of neuromuscular maturity among pre-term infants in the study group and hence, TKS signified to be an effective technique in improving the level of neuromuscular maturity among pre-term infants.
