, was used to
measure chest wall kinematics. Soft cloth band transducers encircled the infants chest wall
(rib cage and abdomen) to sense changes in circumference (size). The upper band was
placed around the axillae with its lower edge just below the nipples. The lower band was
placed below the costal margin and its lower edge above the iliac crest

Non-Nutritive Suck (NNS) Sampling
NNS nipple compression pressure waveforms were digitized during every VestibuGlide and
control session. A green Soothie
device. This involved the placement of two soft cloth inductance bands around
the rib cage and abdomen. Pulse rate and oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) signals were also
measured throughout the gliding protocol with a neonate oxygen sensor placed around the
infants wrist. Infants remained connected to the usual NICU monitors at all times for
observation of respiration, heartbeat, and oxygen saturation by their bedside nurse.
After the Respitrac
bands and the oxygen sensor were placed on the infants; the infant was
swaddled and placed on the researchers lap, by either the nursing staff or the infants
