Seus familiares responderam dois questionários cuidados parentais, Daily Activities of Infant Scale Knowledge Development Inventory, um questionário nível socioeconômico. Identific...

Abstract Objectives Few studies have examined the relationship between language abilities and specific motor skills in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study was to compare receptive (RL) expressive (EL) functioning ASD aged 24 36 months their peers typical development (TD). Furthermore, compared multidimensional delayed RL EL development. predictive powers were for...

objectives: down syndrome (ds) is the most common multiple congenital anomaly syndrome associated with a developmental disability. children with down syndrome have delay in both motor and mental age. this study carried out to explore relationship between mental and motor age of children with ds. methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 participants with ds (5 to 7 years old) using r...

​​ Background and Objective: Human development is influenced by genetic, environmental, and social factors whose foundation is formed from infancy and childhood. Preterm birth and low birth weight are important issues that can affect the development and threaten the public health. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early exercise interventions on gross motor skills of chil...

BACKGROUND To determine whether using mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) influences motor development of low birth weight (LBW) infants and to compare their motor development with normal birth weight (NBW) infants at the age of 8 to 12 months using Peabody Developmental Motor Scale 2 (PDMS-2). METHODS This cross sectional study was conducted on 70 LBW infants in two...

BACKGROUND Motor development appears to be more affected by premature birth than other developmental domains, however few studies have specifically investigated the development of gross and fine motor skills in this population. AIM To examine longitudinal motor development in a group of "apparently normal" high-risk infants. SETTING Developmental follow-up clinic in a perinatal centre. ST...

OBJECTIVE Motor development is frequently reported to be impaired in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, but little is known about the moderately low birth weight (MLBW) infants. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MLBW preterm infants present developmental delay. METHODS In a historical cohort study, 18±2 month-old infants with a history of low birth weight (LBW) were identifi...

Background and Objective: Achievement of motor skills is an important part of childhood development. There are some scales that commonly used for preschool-aged children including Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, 2nd edition (PDMS-2). A cross sectional study designed to compare motor skills of high risk and normal infants of 3 to 6 months of age. Methods: In this case control study, ...
