OBJECTIVE To investigate motor and cognitive developmental profiles and to evaluate the correlation between two developmental areas and assess the influencing factors of the developmental process in children with Down syndrome (DS). METHODS Seventy-eight children with DS participated in this study. The medical history was taken and motoric milestone achievements recorded. The Korean Wechsler ...

BACKGROUND Children with developmental delay (DD) have a variety of problems in developmental functions. The purposes of this study were to analyze the underlying diseases and risk factors in children with different functional delays. METHODS We collected data on 1048 children who underwent assessments of developmental function, related diseases, and risk factors. All children were classified...

Perinatal asphyxia during delivery produces long-term disability and represents a major problem in neonatal and pediatric care. Numerous neuroprotective approaches have been described to decrease the effects of perinatal asphyxia. Enriched environment is a popular strategy to counteract nervous system injuries. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether enriched environment is able...

OBJECTIVE To assess separate and joint effects of low socioeconomic status (SES) and moderate prematurity on preschool developmental delay. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study with a community-based sample of preterm- and term-born children (Longitudinal Preterm Outcome Project). We assessed SES on the basis of education, occupation, and family income. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire was ...

Dyspraxia ? more commonly called developmental coordination disorder (DCD) ? is indeed a very real condition! In fact, it's thought to affect around six percent of children across the United States. Your suspicions about its existence are not unfounded, though. Researchers and health care providers struggle to define and diagnose DCD. Essentially, DCD is a developmental delay that involves prob...

background and objectives: motor development is considered as a part of the process of growth and development in which the child, firstly gains control over his own body function, and then utilizes it for interaction and manipulation with the environment. the aim of this study was to standardize of peabody developmental motor scale (pdms) in normal children aged 72 to 83 months living in tehran...

Epileptic seizure in pediatric patients affects neurodevelopment, and surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy improved comorbidities, but the mechanism is not fully uncovered yet. By measurement of MRI-DTI Fractional Anisotropy (FA) of posterior limb of internal capsule (PIC) of infants, we presented its change by seizure propagation and control in a case of an infant post traumatic epilepsy...

Occupational therapists frequently work with children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in hopes of enhancing their occupational performance. There is debate among researchers and health care professionals about whether the motor coordination problems experienced by children with DCD have a physiological basis or whether they are the result of a developmental delay. Even among rese...
