Desenvolvimento motor de crianças prematuras e a termo: uso da Alberta Infant Motor Scale

Abstract: Objectives:To compare the motor development of infants born preterm and term at four and six months of age, applying the Alberta Infant Motor Scale AIMS-Brazilian version. Methods: Longitudinal, comparative study, conducted in Fortaleza, Ceara, between November/2009 and May/2010. A convenience sample was used, consisting of 24 preterm and 24 term infants. Results: In children aged four months, there was a statistically significant difference in the standing position (p = 0.014) and in six months in all positio… Show more

“…A study with a group of 48 children, with 24 of these being pre-term and 24 full-term, showed that 24 (100%) children in the group of prematurely born infants required hospitalization, remaining at the institution between three and 60 days, however, the study authors did not report the causes (13) . An American, retrospective and multi-center study, reported that 45% of 3,787 children in a program monitoring the pre-term infants were hospitalized in the first year of life, especially for respiratory causes (14) .…”

“…Prematurity significantly influences the motor development of infants and may contribute to an onset of delays 6 . Newborn preterm infants (PI) have a higher mortality rate and also have a higher risk of developing disorders and other sequelae that affect them both in the neonatal stage, as well as later in their development in general 7 , which is corroborated by various studies that correlate prematurity and delayed motor development 8,9,10,11 .…”

“…23 A prematuridade da criança pode igualmente prejudicar o seu desenvolvimento motor, porque quanto mais prematura for a criança, maior o risco de ela apresentar atrasos de desenvolvimento motor. 24 A avaliação do desenvolvimento assume papel destacado para essas crianças, sendo o fisioterapeuta um dos profissionais de saúde com importante papel. Muitas vezes, com o uso de escalas validadas e sensíveis, fisioterapeutas identificam atraso no desenvolvimento motor.…”
