“…It is possible that during the pubertal growth spurt children may become clumsier due to non-synchronicity in the growth of different body parts as well as in their proportions which may express biomechanical changes produced by the growth velocity associated with adaptive alterations in sensorimotor system (Visser et al, 1998). On the other hand, the interpretation of biological maturation affecting GMC is not an easy task as little data are available, and evidence is mostly related to PF traits (Malina et al, 2004).…”

“…It is important to highlight that the abovementioned GMC predictors are not the sole factors affecting performance in motor coordination tasks, but also the variety of other physical activities as well as participation in sports during childhood and adolescence (Stodden et al, 2008;Visser et al, 1998). Adequate amounts of physical activity and/or sport participation may improve motor coordination levels both in pre-pubertal and pubertal children (Stodden et al, 2008).…”

“…This would produce systematic misjudgments about the location of body parts in external space. Indeed, recent studies have shown that the onset of coordination difficulties is temporally tightly locked to the onset of increased growth velocity (Visser, Geuze, & Kalverboer, 1998;Hirtz & Starosta, 2002). Similarly, systematic changes in locomotor coordination were recently observed in an achondroplasic patient following surgical extension of the limbs, as well as in healthy adults wearing stilts (Dominici et al, 2009).…”

The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear. In this review, we focus on two classes of higher-order processing beyond somatosensation. Somatoperception refers to the process of perceiving the body itself, and particularly of ensuring somatic perceptual constancy.We review three key elements of somatoperception: (a) remapping information from the body surface into an egocentric reference frame (b) exteroceptive perception of objects in the external world through their contact with the body and (c) interoceptive percepts about the nature and state of the body itself. Somatorepresentation, in contrast, refers to the essentially cognitive process of constructing semantic knowledge and attitudes about the body, including: (d) lexicalsemantic knowledge about bodies generally and one's own body specifically, (e) configural knowledge about the structure of bodies, (f) emotions and attitudes directed towards one's own body, and (g) the link between physical body and psychological self. We review a wide range of neuropsychological, neuroimaging and neurophysiological data to explore the dissociation between these different aspects of higher somatosensory function.Body Beyond SI 3

Longitudinal motor performance measures are essential to better understand how developmental changes occur.…”

This study examines the psychometric properties of the US developed McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development (MAND) using data from a longitudinal sample of 986 Australian youth at 10, 14 and 17 years. A key finding was the sex and age interaction of the Neuromuscular Developmental Index (NDI) (F = 121.46, p < .001). Males had a significantly lower mean NDI score at 10 years and the females had a lower score at 17 years. The factor structure differed from the US samples (McCarron, 1997) at each age and between males and females. The sex specific analyses showed that the underlying structure was more complex for younger females. Although the MAND remains a useful test of motor performance for Australian children, further consideration is warranted regarding sex differences, the relevance of the US based normative tables and factor structures.
