Describe behavior of children with periventricular brain injury (PBI) in a tethered-kicking intervention. Sixteen infants with PBI were randomly assigned to exercise or no-training in a longitudinal pilot study. Frequency of leg movements and inter-limb coordination were described from videos at 2 and 4 months corrected age (CA). Eight of 13 children (62%) with longitudinal data increased the frequency of leg movements while tethered to a mobile between 2 and 4 months CA. Movement frequency was correlated with scores on the Test of Infant Motor Performance, but there were no differences between experimental groups. Children with typical development at 12 months CA increased the proportion of leg movements that were synchronous between 2 and 4 months as did a child with cerebral palsy in the experimental group. The tethered-kicking intervention facilitates movement in infants with PBI but effects on development remain to be demonstrated.
