Early Gross Motor Development Among Brazilian Children with Microcephaly Born Right After Zika Virus Infection Outbreak.

To assess the gross motor development of children with presumed congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection over the first 2 years of their lives. Seventy-seven children were assessed at the median ages of 11, 18, and 24 months, using the evaluative instrument Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66). At the third assessment, the children with diagnoses of cerebral palsy (CP) were classified by severity through the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and stratified by topography indicating the predominantly affected limbs. With these instruments in combination and using the motor development curves as reference, the rate of development and functional ability were estimated. At 2 years of age, all children had the diagnosis of CP. Seventy-four (96.1%) presented gross motor skills similar to those of children aged 4 months or younger, according to the World Health Organization's standard. The GMFM-66 median score among the 73 (94.8%) children with quadriplegia and GMFCS level V showed significant change between 11 and 18 months (p < 0.001) and between 11 and 24 months (p < 0.001). No significant difference (p = 0.076) was found between 18 and 24 months. Despite showing some gross motor progress during the initial 18 months of life, these children with presumed congenital ZIKV infection and CP experienced severe motor impairment by 2 years of age. According to the motor development curves, these children with quadriplegia have probably already reached about 90% of their motor development potential.

Assessment of motor development using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale in full-term infants.

The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a well-known, norm-referenced scale that evaluates the gross motor development of children from birth to 18 months. The aim of the study was to compare the Canadian norms with the AIMS scores of a Turkish sample of infants, and to investigate whether the current reference values of the AIMS are representative for Turkish full-term infants. The study was conducted with 411 Turkish infants of both sexes (195 girls and 216 boys), born with gestational age 38 weeks and older, weighing ≥2500 g at birth. Motor performance of all the cases at different ages were assessed with the AIMS which was used by a physiotherapist. The mean AIMS scores of Turkish infants were compared with the norm values of the original AIMS established in a Canadian sample of infants. The results showed no statistically significant differences between the AIMS scores of Turkish and Canadian infants during the first 18 months of life except at 0- < 1 and 2- < 3 months of age. The AIMS scores were significantly lower in Turkish infants than in Canadian infants at 0- < 1 (p=0.025) and 2- < 3 (p=0.042) months of age. In conclusion, the AIMS can be used in Turkish children to assess gross motor development, especially after 4 months of age. However, this paper was presented as a preliminary study to compare AIMS results between Turkish and Canadian infants, and further studies are needed to realize the Turkish validation of AIMS.

Factors associated with nutritional status and motor development among young children.

This study was conducted to investigate the nutritional status and gross motor development of children in a suburban area of northeast China and the factors influencing these issues. A total of 189 children aged 1-3 years and their mothers participated. Child and maternal length/height and weight were measured. Information was collected on basic characteristics, household monthly income, child's age at achievement of six gross motor milestones, and feeding practices by interviewing the mothers/caregivers. The prevalence of overweight (using World Health Organization growth standards) and delayed achievement of walking alone among the children was 27% and 12.7%, respectively. The independent predictors of increased odds for being overweight were middle household income and high dietary diversity score. Exclusive breastfeeding was associated with lower odds of children being overweight. Delayed solid feeding initiation was associated with increased odds of delay in walking alone for the children. Breastfeeding predicted reduced odds of this issue. These findings suggest that nutritional intervention and childcare education, such as breastfeeding promotion, improved diet quality, and the timely introduction of solid food, could improve growth and development among young children in suburban northeast China.

A schedule of gross motor development for children with Down syndrome.

Gross motor milestones for children who develop typically have been well established; however, norms for children with Down syndrome (DS) are uncertain. Without a developmental schedule for the gross motor development of children with DS, medical professionals are limited in their ability to identify if the development of a particular child with DS is delayed in comparison with his or her peers (i.e. other children with DS), assess when intervention is needed and answer the questions of parents regarding when their child can be expected to achieve developmental milestones. The objectives of this study are to: (1) provide health care professionals and early intervention providers with longitudinal data on the gross motor development of children with DS gathered prospectively; (2) contribute to the development of a definitive schedule of gross motor development for children with DS; (3) enable the identification of gross motor development that is delayed in comparison with other children with DS; and (4) help medical professionals address the questions of concerned parents who are anxious to know when their child will achieve gross motor skills such as sitting, crawling or walking. Longitudinal data on 44 defined gross motor skills were collected on a large cohort of children with DS (n=509) who received care at two referral centres that specialise in DS. Mastery was awarded when skills were observed directly by the physical therapist. Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed from a prospective patient clinic database and analysed. Specific age of mastery of gross motor skills was assessed. The mean, standard deviation and median age in months of gross motor skill achievement for children with DS, along with the 5th, 25th, 75th and 95th percentiles, are provided for birth to walking skills and post walking skills. No statistically significant gender-by-age group difference was observed in the 44 skills. This study provides a schedule of gross motor development for children with DS derived from data collected prospectively from a large population. The gross motor development of the child with DS can be assessed based on his or her performance relative to other children with DS enabling early identification of advanced, age appropriate or delayed development, allowing for appropriate referrals for targeted intervention.

Vestibular Function and Gross Motor Development in 195 Children With Congenital Hearing Loss-Assessment of Inner Ear Malformations.

To evaluate the relationship between vestibular function and gross motor development in children with inner ear malformations. A total of 195 children (average age: 2.4 ± 1.6 yr) with profound hearing loss, defined as a hearing threshold greater than 80 dB, participated in this study. Evaluation of vestibular function was assessed in all children using a damped rotational chair test. Gross motor development was assessed by examining the age of acquisition of head control and independent walking. Temporal bone computed tomography scans were conducted in 190 of the 195 children. Among the 195 children, 31 children (15.9%) showed a reduced response in the rotational chair test. Of the 17 children who were followed up with repeat rotational chair tests, 16 showed more obvious nystagmus during follow-up compared with the initial examination. The reduced response group showed significant delays in head control and independent walking compared with the normal response group (p < 0.01). Forty-one children (21.6%) demonstrated inner ear malformations and showed significantly delayed acquisition of head control and independent walking (p < 0.01) compared with children with normal vestibular function. Children with inner ear malformations with a reduced response in the rotational chair test had severe vestibular (p < 0.05) and lateral semicircular canal (p < 0.01) malformations as the most common findings. Structural inner ear malformations are associated with vestibular dysfunction and delayed gross motor development. Our findings confirm that there is a higher incidence of reduced vestibulo-ocular reflex in children with vestibular and semicircular canal malformations.

Assessment of the Relationship between Body Mass Index and Gross Motor Development in Children.

Obesity is a growing epidemic and public health problem in children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the gross motor development. In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2012-13 in Gorgan, northern Iran, the gross motor development of 90 children 3-5 yr old in three groups of lean, normal and obese/overweight were evaluated by the ages and stages questionnaires (ASQ) and Denver 2 scale. Totally, 90 children were enrolled and their developmental level was assessed with two ASQ and Denver II indices. The mean and standard deviation of the ASQ scores of the children was 53.11± 11.06 and based on Denver index, 9 children (10%) were at developmental delay status, 15 (16.7%) in the caution conditions, and 53 (58.9%) at normal developmental status. The developmental level was lower in obese/overweight group comparing with other groups according to both Denver and ASQ and there was a significant difference between obese/overweight group and normal group based in Denver and ASQ, respectively. There was no significant difference between underweight and normal and obese and underweight groups. Overweight and obesity could affect on the gross motor development.

Gross Motor Development in Children Aged 3-5 Years, United States 2012.

Objective Gross motor development in early childhood is important in fostering greater interaction with the environment. The purpose of this study is to describe gross motor skills among US children aged 3-5 years using the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). Methods We used 2012 NHANES National Youth Fitness Survey (NNYFS) data, which included TGMD-2 scores obtained according to an established protocol. Outcome measures included locomotor and object control raw and age-standardized scores. Means and standard errors were calculated for demographic and weight status with SUDAAN using sample weights to calculate nationally representative estimates, and survey design variables to account for the complex sampling methods. Results The sample included 339 children aged 3-5 years. As expected, locomotor and object control raw scores increased with age. Overall mean standardized scores for locomotor and object control were similar to the mean value previously determined using a normative sample. Girls had a higher mean locomotor, but not mean object control, standardized score than boys (p < 0.05). However, the mean locomotor standardized scores for both boys and girls fell into the range categorized as "average." There were no other differences by age, race/Hispanic origin, weight status, or income in either of the subtest standardized scores (p > 0.05). Conclusions In a nationally representative sample of US children aged 3-5 years, TGMD-2 mean locomotor and object control standardized scores were similar to the established mean. These results suggest that standardized gross motor development among young children generally did not differ by demographic or weight status.

Motor Trend in Gross Among Students Preschool Special Education Program Integration of Learning Problems

The aim of this study was to determine the level of gross motor development of children with learning disabilities aged 4 to 5 years, comparing differences in the level of gross motor development among them and gave up one level to teacher evaluation and measurement of building modules adapted physical education lessons to children preschool special education gross motor developmental stages of childhood special education is often neglected in public observation. While the level of gross motor development was measured clinically test the first five minutes after the baby is born. The level of language and speech development of children is also affected by the level of gross motor development. Gross motor development can be enhanced by giving children the opportunity to perform various physical activities independently. In addition, gross motor movement also requires controlling balance and coordination with other sensory organs such as the eye and touch. In this case, parents and teachers need to be aware of the level of development of children of special education to help reduce developmental delays. Children's normal to experience an increase in gross motor movement which is encouraging when they are at ages four to six years. Therefore, the level of development of children with special educational needs also concern that differences chronological age and biological age for gross motor distinctly not too far distance. Studies in the country revealed gross motor skills of children in Malaysia is on the rise but not by chronological age should be (Borhannudin Abdullah, Saidon Amri and Aris Bet Fadhil, 2009) This finding was supported in the study of gross motor development among the Malays, Chinese and Indians. The findings show that there are different levels of development of gross motor skills of children among the Malays, Chinese and Indians in Malaysia (Saaidon Amri and Chuan, 2008). Similarly, the level of gross motor development of children with disabilities Down syndrome (Tengku Fadi Tengku Kamalden and Teng, 2009) showed a similar trend.
