Abstract

Background. Cri du chat syndrome (CdCS) is a rare orphan genetic disorder. Infants with CdCS have a neurodevelopmental dysfunction, but there are limited studies on their spontaneous movements or effect of the early interventions in children with CdCS. This study aimed to describe early spontaneous movements and investigate the effects of an early intervention in an infant with the CdCS.
