“…In the neonatal intensive care unit, physical therapists can help premature infants grow by enhancing their posture control, which is necessary for digestion, feeding, and breathing, and by maintaining the range of motion, shaping the skull, and improving movement control, dietary performance, adaptation to the environment, and behavioral stability ( McManus and Capistran, 2008 ). In other countries, where they are recognized for their abilities and expertise in these areas, physical therapists are involved in prenatal interventions in the neonatal intensive care unit as specialists to prevent developmental delays and promote normal development ( Cameron et al, 2005 ; Coutinho et al, 2014 ; Ferrari et al, 2007 ; Massaro et al, 2009 ; Vaivre-Douret et al, 2009 ). However, in Korea, physical therapists still have only limited access to neonatal intensive care units, and their role as specialists in this area has not been established due to the lack of awareness of early-stage physical therapy to promote growth and development in premature infants.…”
