QUEST and GMFM subscales results after 5 months of auditory stimulus and sham stimulus.
Children who received auditory stimuli (black bars) have improved on most motor functions both in upper limbs (associated movements, grasp, protective extension, and weight bearing) and lower limbs (sitting, crawling & kneeling, standing, and walking, running & jumping compared to controls that have not changed or deteriorated (gray bars). Lying and rolling improved in controls more than in the study group thus the total GMFM score was not significantly improved in the study group.
