Background: Observation of the quality of endogenously generated "General Movements" has been proved to be a reliable and sensitive tool in the assessment of fragile neonates. The absence of fidgety movements at 2-4 months post-term is highly predictive of Cerebral Palsy. On the contrary, the presence of a poor repertoire pattern during the writhing period is not reliable in predicting motor or neurobehavioral disorders at any stage of development.Aim: To examine if the presence of a PR pattern at 1 month post-term was associated with lower neurodevelopmental quotients at 2 years.Study design: General Movements evaluation at 1 and 3 months and the Griffiths Scales of Mental Development at 2 years were administered to a sample of very preterm infants. Infants were divided into two groups: poor repertoire pattern group and normal pattern group. Student's t Test and Chi squared test and ANOVA were used to compare neonatal variables and results between the two groups.Subjects: 79 very preterm infants (birthweight
