Introduction


Infant motion analysis enables early detection of neurodevelopmental disorders like cerebral palsy (CP). The quality of spontaneous movements, in particular of the general movements (GMs), at the corrected age of 2-4 months accurately reflects the state of the infant's nervous system. The general movement assessment (GMA) method achieves the highest reliability for the detection of CP at an early age. In order to remove the human variability and the effort of regular training of GMA experts, we aim at automating medical infant motion analysis.
