Bruna Bašić, univ.mag.rehab.educ. et mag.cin., project assistant on the “Early Behavioural Markers for Developmental Alterations in Visuospatial Processing and Visual-Motor Integration in Preterm Infants (Pre-VISOR)”, participated in the basic course on the assessment of spontaneous movements (General Movements Assessment – GMA), held in Bucharest from February 11 to 14, 2026, under the guidance of Natascia Bertoncelli from the University Hospital of Modena.
The training covered both theoretical and practical aspects of the Prechtl method for assessing infants’ spontaneous movements, which represents the gold standard in early detection of neurodevelopmental deviations.
The course was attended by 50 professionals from various fields, and the acquired competencies will contribute to advancing the scientific research work within the framework of the HRZZ Pre-VISOR project.
Participation in the course was supported by the Croatian Science Foundation through the “Young Researchers' Career Development Project – Training New Doctoral Students” grant (DOK-2025-02-4850).
