In previous research, preterm infants receiving the ATVV intervention demonstrated a trend for improved weight gain, but the results did not reach statistical significance. 28 However, full term infants living in a Korean orphanage who received the ATVV intervention tended to gain more weight per day and grow faster in length and head circumference when compared with controls. 23 Other studies have investigated the effects of various components of sensory stimulation interventions (in isolation) for preterm infants on weight gain.
