Table 2.

Combination of foot-to-foot contact and fidgety movements and risk of developing cerebral palsy, mild motor impairment, or both.

Combinations N Cerebral palsy Mild motor impairment Cerebral palsy or Typical outcome Risk of developing CP or mild motor impairment*
N (%) N (%) mild motor impairment N (%) N (%)

Total 58 3 (5.2) 8 (13.8) 11 (19.0) 47 (81) - -

The table shows that the risk of developing CP or mild motor impairment increases when foot-to-foot contact or fidgety is absent, and that it is maximum when both (foot-to-foot contact and fidgety) are absent.
