Note. FT, full term group; MPT1, medically ill preterm group, BW <1,000 g; MPT2, medically ill preterm group, BW ≥ 1,000 g; NPT, neurologically ill preterm group; Beery VMI, Beery visual motor integration; MSCA, McCarthy scales of children’s abilities motor scale; RMPI, Riley motor problem inventory oral motor, fine motor, gross motor, and total scores.

Duncan results by Duncan post hoc test.

Higher scores on the RMPI indicate more motor problems.
