What is Positioning Strategies for Premature Infants about?

This document discusses positional support for premature infants in the NICU. Prolonged immobilization on firm surfaces can lead to positional disorders like "frog-leg" legs, shoulders retracted with arms out to the sides, and flattened heads. Therapists aim to position infants in prone, supine, and side-lying positions to stimulate flexion and achieve rounded heads through movement. Supine support pillows were designed to keep infants in a neutral flexed position for comfort and reduced stress.
