Objective: To study the application of whole body movement (GMs) assessment combined with brain function monitoring in the early diagnosis of neonatal brain injury. Methods: In order to achieve the purpose of the experiment, 79 high-risk children diagnosed with brain injury after the brain injury gold standard diagnosis were selected as the research objects, and the GMs and amplitude integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) were examined respectively, and the two methods were compared. The accuracy rate of early diagnosis of neonatal brain injury, and at the same time explore the diagnostic accuracy rate of the combined examination of the two methods. Results: After diagnosis by the "gold standard" method, 51 cases of 79 children with brain injury were confirmed to be normal, 23 cases of motor development retardation, and 5 cases of cerebral palsy. When checked by GMs, it was found that there were 26 cases of PR in the twisting movement stage. There were abnormalities and 3 cases of CS abnormality, and the remaining 50 cases were normal. During the restless movement stage, 73 cases of F+ normal were confirmed, and the remaining 6 cases were abnormal, including 3 cases of cerebral palsy. Secondly, during the aEEG examination, it was found that 53 cases of normal children, 21 cases of mild abnormalities, and 5 cases of severe abnormalities. Conclusion: Both methods have high accuracy in the diagnosis of neonatal brain injury. The application of GMs+aEEG in the diagnosis of neonatal brain injury has high sensitivity and accuracy, and its application value is extremely high.
