title: Normal ranges of hip motion of preterm infants.
abstract: The hip motion of 158 preterm infants with gestational ages between 25 and 36 weeks was measured. The results of this study, compared with those of previous studies of term infants, show that hip motion changes with increasing gestational age above 25 to 27 weeks.
