Objektive: The assessment of specific movement patterns, such as the general movements, is a crucial part of perinatal neurologic examination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of General Movements (GMs) in fetuses with trisomy and triploidy. Design and Methods: GMs of 23 fetuses in second trimester were documented on a videotape for 20 minutes and analyzed according to a semiquantitative optimality score (range 6–12; 6=abnormal movement pattern, 12=optimal quality of GM). We compared the quality of general movements of 10 fetuses without chromosomal and sonomorphological abnormalities with 1…
