“…6 scores that represent random variation in performance across testing sessions, rather than real change in performance. 7 Furthermore, preterm infants have been shown to have different motor trajectories from those of infants born at term, which may result in the motor development of preterm infants incorrectly being labeled as 'abnormal'. 8 These variations in motor development over the first year can be for a variety of reasons, including behaviours learned during long periods in neonatal intensive care and alterations to brain development caused by exposure to the ex utero environment during critical periods of brain development.…”

This systematic review evaluates assessments used to discriminate, predict, or evaluate the motor development of preterm infants during the first year of life. Eighteen assessments were identified; nine met the inclusion criteria. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development ‐ Version III, Peabody Developmental Motor Scales ‐ Version 2, Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP), and Toddler and Infant Motor Examination have good discriminative validity when examined in large populations. The AIMS, Prechtl's Assessment of General Movements (GMs), Neuro Sensory Motor Development Assessment (NSMDA), and TIMP were designed for preterm infants and are able to detect more subtle changes in movement quality. The best predictive assessment tools are age dependent: GMs, the Movement Assessment of Infants, and TIMP are strongest in early infancy (age 4mo or less) and the AIMS and NSMDA are better at older ages (8‐12mo). The TIMP is the only tool that has demonstrated a difference between groups in response to intervention in two randomized controlled trials. The AIMS, TIMP, and GMs demonstrated the highest levels of overall reliability (interrater and intrarater intraclass correlation coefficient or κ>0.85). Selection of motor assessment tools during the first year of life for infants born preterm will depend on the intended purpose of their use for discrimination, prediction, and/or evaluation.

“…Therefore, the tendency for sleeping posture to influence the movement was not shown in the present study. Darrah et al reported that many subjects whose ages were 13 months or older had higher percentile ranks of AIMS, because they had acquired independent walking at that age 22) . Cases 6 and 8 did not have average AIMS scores until 13 months of age and Case 7 did not have an average AIMS scores until 16 months of age.…”

“…Cases 6 and 8 did not have average AIMS scores until 13 months of age and Case 7 did not have an average AIMS scores until 16 months of age. Darrah reported that infants received a low score from 5.5 to 9.5 months of age because they were neither pulling to themselves upright nor crawling or creeping 22) . The infants have shown fell below AIMS score average from 8 to 12 months of age in the present study.…”

Longitudinal Observation of Healthy Children's Motor Development Using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale

Abstract. [Purpose] To clarify the motor development of healthy infants, we conducted a longitudinal observation survey of healthy Japanese infants.[Subjects] Healthy infants participated in this study (9 males and 5 females age 5-13 months old, birth weight: 2, 474-3, 964 g). Infants belonged to three daycare centers.[Method] An examiner visited the infants at a daycare center monthly, and examined their motor development using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS).[Results] Eleven infants, out of 14, showed higher AIMS than the average at some ages in months and lower AIMS than the average at some ages.[Conclusion] The longitudinal survey confirmed that infants have certain periods when they become capable of new movements and other periods when their development stagnates. It also confirmed that the supine sleep position has no influence on infants' motor development acquisition. This suggests that the impact of physiological motor development must be considered when infants receiving PT become capable of new movement.

Resumo:Objetivo: verificar o desempenho motor grosso de lactentes de 6 a 18 meses de idade, por meio da Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), e se há associação entre este e o estado nutricional. Método: foi realizado estudo transversal, caso-controle, no qual foi avaliado o desenvolvimento motor grosso de lactentes entre 6 e 18 meses de idade por meio da AIMS, divididos em grupo de estudo (com desnutrição) e controle (sem desnutrição). Foram alocados 13 lactentes no grupo de estudo e 13 lactentes no grupo controle pareados quanto à idade, sexo e nível socioeconômico (cada grupo com 6 participantes do sexo feminino e 7 do masculino, e média de idade de 14,54 meses). Para comparação entre os grupos foram empregados os testes de Mann-Whitney (variáveis contínuas) e Exato de Fisher (variável categórica), sendo considerado um nível de significância de 0.05. Resultados: considerando tanto o Escore Bruto quanto o Índice percentil da AIMS, foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos (p = 0,023 e p = 0,002, respectivamente), tendo sido observado desempenho alterado (abaixo do percentil 5 da curva normativa da AIMS) em 10 (76,9%) lactentes do grupo de estudo e em 2 (15,4%) do grupo controle. Conclusão: os resultados indicam que a desnutrição parece estar negativamente associada ao desenvolvimento motor grosso de lactentes de 6 a 18 meses de idade, o que reafirma a importância de uma abordagem integral ao desnutrido que inclua a vigilância do desenvolvimento motor e, quando necessário, a realização de medidas que visem melhorar essa condição.Palavras-chave: desenvolvimento infantil; lactente; desnutrição.
