Abstract :The aim of this study was to follow early motor and sensory development of the infant with Thiamine Metabolism Dysfunction Syndrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TMDS);. Newborn with 38 weeks gestational age, 2600 kilograms weight admitted to neonatal intensive care unit insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NICU); due to respiratory distress, absence of suction reflex, and floppy appearance. Case had respiratory support during 5 weeks. Infant was referred to SANKO University Physiotherapy unit on postterm 12th week due to hypotonia after discharge. Prechtl’s General Movements insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GMs); and Hammersmith Infant Neurological Evaluation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HINE); was performed at 3rd and 4th months. Sensory processing parameters were evaluated with the Newborn Sensory Profile-2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NSP-2);. Case had no Fidgety movements insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FMs);. The HINE score was 37-45 in the 3th and 4th month respectively. Total score in NSP-2 was 33 in the 3rd month insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(general = 12, auditory = 7, visual = 8, tactile = 2, movement = 2, oral sensory processing = 1);. While the case’s Newborn Sensory Profile-2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NSP-2); total score was in newborn norms, visual, tactile, movement but oral sensory parameters and auditory parameters were in low limits. The low motor performance was associated with low NSP-2 score and showed interaction with motor-sensory development. It is concluded that early physiotherapy program can be effective.
