Highlights
Child development is a process where the level of maturation reached by a child within his age group can be recognized and quantified [1]
The objective of this study is to favor the investigation of developmental delay and allow that the doctor can intervene early and in a timely manner by sending him to pediatrics and rehabilitation
[9] In the family medicine unit no. 66 of Xalapa Veracruz, 388 children under 5 years of age were evaluated, of which only 1.3% had a delay in psychomotor development with a predominance in the area of language and in the social area, without reaching their gestational age and presenting low weight at birth, which suggests that prematurity and low birth weight are determining factors for delaying psychomotor development in this age group
Summary
Child development is a process where the level of maturation reached by a child within his age group can be recognized and quantified [1]. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests continuous monitoring and development monitoring, taking into account biological and environmental risk factors, for this purpose it recommends the use of standardized tests at 9, 18 and 30 months of age [2]. The psychomotor development evaluation (DSM) is an essential component in health supervision mainly in children under 5 years [3]. Was designed in 2007 at Mc Master University, Canada. It focuses on children from 1 to 59 months who measures in different age groups the different aspects of development [4]. There are five main skill groups that make up the expected events according to a certain age [5]: a) Thick motor: the use of large groups of muscles to sit, stand, walk, run, to maintain balance and change positions
