fundamental motor skills are the bases of special motor skills. in addition tomaturation, environmental promotion can influence these skills. the aim of thisstudy was to investigate and compare the effect of developmental gymnasticinstructional program and spark motor program as motor experiences onfundamental motor skills development in children aged between 6 and 8. for thispurpose, 120 child...

objective low birth weight (birth weight 2500 g) can be one of the serious problems in children. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the developmental status of lbw preterm neonates admited at neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) at the corrected ages of six and 12 months via the persian version of ages and stages questionnaires (asq). materials & methods in a follow up study, fifty lbw pr...

Child growth is a dynamic process and has different stages including the development of gross motor, fine motor, communication, and personal-social abilities. Developmental disorders as one of the most common problems in the process child growth This study aimed to determine the developmental level of infants under two years who were admitted to the health care centres' of Kurdistan University ...

The Where-What Networks (WWNs) consist of a series of embodiments of a general-purpose brain-inspired network called Developmental Network (DN). WWNs model the dorsal and ventral two-way streams that converge to, and also receive information from, specific motor areas in the frontal cortex. Both visual detection and visual recognition tasks were trained concurrently by such a single, highly int...

Objective To assess the well-being of preterm newborns using the Bayley-III scales in a Korean-based population, and to evaluate the perinatal risk factors influencing developmental outcome. Methods Using the Bayley-III scales, we assessed 120 preterm infants who were referred for evaluation of neurodevelopmental performance. We subdivided them into an extremely preterm group (n=18) and a ver...

Results: Before age 3 years, the children in this study watched an average of 2.2 hours per day; at ages 3 to 5 years, the daily average was 3.3 hours. Adjusted for the covariates mentioned earlier, each hour of average daily television viewing before age 3 years was associated with deleterious effects on the Peabody Individual Achievement Test Reading Recognition Scale of 0.31 points (95% conf...

Background: The first year of life is the most important period of an extra uterine brain development requires environmental stimulation for developmental capabilities expression. Mean while, due to the repeated environmental disparity, nursery children are at great risk of developmental delay. Aim: To determine the effect of an evidence-based care package on infant gross motor development. Met...

objective different medical and rehabilitation interventions have been used for treatment of cerebral palsy (cp). in addition to conventional methods, complementary medicine such as homeopathy has been used in treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders. this study has been done to determine what effect homeopathic treatment would have on motor development (md) of children with spastic cp, when a...
