Specific grasp characteristics of children with trisomy 21

Abstract: Children with trisomy 21 display atypical manual skills that change to some extent during development. We examined grasp characteristics and their development in 35 children with trisomy 21, aged 4-18 years, who performed simple manual tasks (two manual tasks of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, and grasping of five wooden blocks whose size was determined by their hand size). The age-matched comparison group included 35 typically developing children. Children with trisomy 21 were found to use fewer… Show more

“…The gait and movements of persons with TRS21 are characterized by impaired motor efficiency or clumsiness (Galli et al 2013 ;Jover et al 2010 ;Palisano et al 2001 ;Rigoldi et al 2009 ;Vicari 2006 ), and to such an extent that it has been included in the Jackson signs for the TRS21 phenotype. More interestingly, motor exercise interacts with cognitive function in Ts65Dn mice (Kida et al 2013 ).…”

“…In this regard, the literature presents significant limitations in fine motor/manual dexterity of these children, which would justify immediate interventions directed to such limitations [4,29] An alternative for achieving greater relevance in manual dexterity consists on the evaluation of the same, firstly featuring its profile, as an important guidance for future interventions. This is demonstrated in most studies reviewed here, as six of the eight articles refer to this subject.…”

“…Distribuição da frequência de respostas entre os grupos T e SD para as provas da série empilhar blocos. T28: preensão palmar; T34: preensão transicional; T37: preensão intermediária; T48: preensão dinâmica; T: típico; SD: Síndrome de Down; f: frequência observada; *1 SD não chegou nessa tarefa durante a avaliação; **11 SD não chegaram nessa tarefa durante a avaliação confirmam os resultados de Jover et al 15 , de padrões de preensão imaturos em crianças com SD. Somente uma criança do grupo SD chegou até o item T48 e não pontuou na tarefa; no grupo T, todas as crianças chegaram até esse item, porém, também não pontuaram.…”

“…Dificuldades em ativar/controlar a musculatura intrín-seca da mão podem ter contribuído para os achados, além de fatores como a adoção de padrões atípicos de preensão -por exemplo, usar menos dedos, e realizar excessiva extensão dos dedos ao agarrar, relatados em crianças com SD 15 .Por outro lado, crianças típicas na faixa etária de dois anos ainda não apresentam a motricidade fina desenvolvida por completo 18,19 . Quanto às habilidades funcionais de autocuidado, as crianças com SD obtiveram pontuação inferior às típi-cas, confirmando as hipóteses levantadas.…”
