“…In the online study, we were not able to investigate the concurrent validity of any of the EMQ-PL subscales. For this reason, we recruited an independent sample of Polish infants for a lab-based study and examined the concurrent validity of the EMQ-PL gross motor and total scores and the experimenter-administered Alberta Infant Motor Scale [ 18 ] at four time points across the first year of life when infants were around 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of age. We selected these ages as they reflect significant changes in motor control and gross motor development.…”

“…The Alberta Infant Motor Scale [ 18 ] is an observational assessment tool for measuring motor development of infants aged 0 to 18 months. It consists of 4 subscales that list skills in four body positions: prone, supine, sit, and stand.…”

“…Reliable measures of motor development are essential for both clinical and research purposes. The most popular ways of assessing infants’ motor skills are the examiner-administered developmental scales such as the Bayley Scales of Infant Development [ 14 ], the Mullen Scales of Early Learning [ 15 ], the Peabody Developmental Gross Motor Scale [ 16 , 17 ], and the Alberta Infant Motor Scales [ 18 ]. They are administered by a professional in a standardized procedure that usually requires dedicated space and a set of objects that are used in a series of tasks.…”

Improving access to assessments of early motor development in local languages: polish adaptation of the Early Motor Questionnaire

A child’s motor development progresses very dynamically. It is crucial to develop freely available parent-report measures of motor development that can be easily used globally to measure motor skills and identify children in need of interventions. This paper presents the adaptation and validation of the Early Motor Questionnaire, which consists of gross motor (GM), fine motor (FM), and perception–action integration (PA) subscales, to the Polish language (EMQ-PL). Study 1 (online, cross-sectional, N = 640) assessed psychometric properties of the EMQ-PL and its value in identifying children referred to physiotherapy. Results reveal excellent psychometric properties of the EMQ-PL and differences in GM and total age-independent scores between children that were and were not referred for physiotherapy. Study 2 (in-person assessment, longitudinal, N = 100) showed high correlations of GM and total scores with Alberta Infant Motor Scale.Conclusion: Overall, the EMQ can be easily adapted to local languages and has the potential for use as a screening tool in global health contexts. What is Known:• Parent-report questionnaires - especially those available free of charge - can potentially improve the rapid assessment of motor skills in young children worldwide.• Translation, adaptation and validation of freely available parent-report measures of motor development to local languages are important for local populations. What is New:• Early Motor Questionnaire can be easily adapted to local languages and has the potential for use as a screening tool in global health contexts.• The polish version of the Early Motor Questionnaire has excellent psychometric properties and highly correlates with infants’ age and Alberta Infant Motor Scale scores.

“…The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was normed on a randomly selected, population-based sample of 2202 Albertan infants, covers an age range from birth to 18 months, and can be administered and scored in 20 min to 30 min (11). The Harris Infant Neuromotor Test (HINT) includes normative data for 412 infants from five Canadian provinces, spans an age range of 2.5 to 12.5 months, and can be administered and scored in ≤30 min (12).…”

A plea for developmental motor screening in Canadian infants

Motor delays during infancy may be the first observable sign of a specific neurodevelopmental disability or of more global developmental delays. The earlier such disorders are identified, the sooner these infants can be referred for early intervention services. Although developmental motor screening is strongly recommended in other Western countries, Canada has yet to provide a developmental surveillance and screening program. Ideally, screening for motor disabilities should occur as part of the 12-month well-baby visit. In advance of that visit, parents can be provided with a parent-screening questionnaire that they can complete and bring with them to their 12-month office visit. Interpretation of the parent-completed questionnaire takes only 2 min to 3 min of the health care professional's time and, based on the results, can either reassure parents that their infant is developing typically, or lead to a referral for standardized motor screening or assessment by a paediatric physical or occupational therapist.

“…The literature has documented that preterm infants are not at an equal risk when it comes to developmental out-comes. Whereas infants who are born prematurely but are basically healthy and free from medical or neurological complications (low risk) tend to develop comparably to full-term infants on developmental measures (regardless of their gestational age or birth weight), high-risk infants exhibit persistent developmental delays (Anderson et al, 1995;Case-Smith, 1993;Jeng, Yau, & Teng, 1998;Kalmar & Boronkai, 1991;McCarton, Wallace, Divon, & Vaughan, 1996;0'-Callaghan et al, 19950'-Callaghan et al, , 1996Piper, Darrah, Byrne, &Watt, 1990).…”

Impact of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, Preterm Birth, and Vision Loss on Development

This study compared the developmental outcomes of twin boys (one who is blind and one who is sighted) who were born prematurely and diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) at age 24 months. The results indicate a disparity in the developmental outcomes of the twins. Although the medical risk factors that are associated with TTTS and preterm births, as well as vision loss, appear to have a negative impact on developmental outcomes, it is impossible to determine the degree to which any factor is responsible for this result.
