Multivariate Multilevel Estimates of Shiraz infants Gross-motor Milestones Achievement Age

WHO Motor Development Study: windows of achievement for six gross motor development milestones.

AIM To review the methods for generating windows of achievement for six gross motor developmental milestones and to compare the actual windows with commonly used motor development scales. METHODS As part of the WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study, longitudinal data were collected to describe the attainment of six gross motor milestones by children aged 4 to 24 mo in Ghana, India, Norway, O...

Gross Motor Milestones and Subsequent Development.

OBJECTIVE We examined the longitudinal associations of age at achieving gross motor milestones and children's development in a US cohort of singletons and twins. METHODS In the Upstate KIDS study, a population-based study of children born between 2008 and 2010, information on age at achievement of motor milestones and developmental skills was available in 599 children (314 singletons, 259 twi...

Using gross motor milestones to identify very preterm infants at risk for cerebral palsy.

The authors evaluated the efficacy of 10 gross motor milestones to screen for cerebral palsy in 173 high-risk, very preterm infants (less than or equal to 32 weeks gestation) followed for 18 to 24 months. Correcting for preterm birth and using population norms led to a better improvement in specificity and positive predictive values; race-specific norms did not contribute significantly. Incorpo...

Multivariate Multilevel Modeling of Age Related Diseases

the effect of (perceptual-motor and music) enrichment of environment on age equivalents of gross and fine motor movements in 5-8-month-old infants

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of perceptual-motor and music enrichment of environment on the development of fine and gross motor movements in infants. 32 healthy infants (5 to 8 months old) participated in this study and were divided homogenously into four groups (each group 8 subjects): three experimental groups and one control group. experimental groups had 36 training s...

Maternal pre-pregnancy obesity and achievement of infant motor developmental milestones in the Upstate KIDS Study

OBJECTIVE Maternal prepregnancy obesity is associated with several poor infant health outcomes; however, studies that investigated motor development have been inconsistent. Thus, maternal prepregnancy weight status and infants' gross motor development were examined. METHODS Participants consisted of 4,901 mother-infant pairs from the Upstate KIDS study, a longitudinal cohort in New York. Moth...
