“…In Brazil, however, there has been increasing concern with this model of care and its repercussions for children's motor development, possibly due to the number of studies that point to issues related to the professionals' qualification, infrastructure, strict routines focused mainly on feeding and hygiene, and greater exposure to infectious processes [5][6][7][8] . Santos et al 9 pointed out that, in Brazil, several studies have reported suspected delays in development, including motricity; however, the results are inconclusive because the prevalence of delays or suspected delays is very heterogeneous among the studies, ranging from 10% to 43% [10][11][12][13][14][15] . Other prominent aspects in the literature are the common discrepancies or differences in performance between the gross and fine motor subtests 11,13,15,16 , in addition to reports that the learning environment does not always promote infant motor development 17,18 .…”

The Brazilian studies reviewed in this article pointed to delays or suspected delays in motor development, however they did not analyze the process of this development in infants that attend day care centers, and the majority of studies performed only one developmental assessment (cross-sectional design).…”

Objective: To analyze the global motor performance and the gross and fine motor skills of infants attending two public child care centers full-time. Methods: This was a longitudinal study that included 30 infants assessed at 12 and 17 months of age with the Motor Scale of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III). This scale allows the analysis of global motor performance, fine and gross motor performance, and the discrepancy between them. The Wilcoxon test and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used.Results: Most of the participants showed global motor performance within the normal range, but below the reference mean at 12 and 17 months, with 30% classified as having "suspected delays" in at least one of the assessments. Gross motor development was poorer than fine motor development at 12 and at 17 months of age, with great discrepancy between these two subtests in the second assessment. A clear individual variability was observed in fine motor skills, with weak linear correlation between the first and the second assessment of this subtest. A lower individual variability was found in the gross motor skills and global motor performance with positive moderate correlation between assessments. Considering both performance measurements obtained at 12 and 17 months of age, four infants were identified as having a "possible delay in motor development". Conclusions: The study showed the need for closer attention to the motor development of children who attend day care centers during the first 17 months of life, with special attention to gross motor skills (which are considered an integral part of the child's overall development) and to children with suspected delays in two consecutive assessments.Key words: day care centers; infant; child development. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar o desempenho motor global em habilidades motoras axiais e apendiculares de lactentes que frequentavam, em tempo integral, duas Escolas Municipais de Educação Infantil. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal do qual participaram 30 lactentes avaliados aos 12 e 17 meses de vida com a escala motora das Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-III, que possibilita a análise do desempenho motor global, apendicular e axial e a discrepância entre eles. Utilizaram-se o teste de Wilcoxon e o Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes apresentou desempenho motor global dentro dos limites de normalidade, porém abaixo da média de referência aos 12 e 17 meses, com 30% classificados como suspeitos de atraso em pelo menos uma das avaliações.O desempenho motor axial foi inferior ao apendicular aos 12 e aos 17 meses, com grande discrepância entre eles especialmente na 2ª avaliação. Observou-se marcada variabilidade individual nas habilidades motoras apendiculares, com fraca correlação linear no desempenho entre a 1ª e a 2ª avaliações nesse domínio. Nas habilidades axiais e no desempenho motor global, encontrou-se menor variabilidade individual, com correlações moderadas e positivas...

“…O teste é considerado de fácil execução e oferece um manual para treinamento e orientações quanto à sua utilização. Pode ser aplicado por vários profissionais da saúde e, por isso, é um dos testes mais utilizados na triagem de atrasos, inclusive em nosso país 22,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] . Embora o teste não seja validado para nossa população, uma adaptação cultural não formal foi realizada a fim de facilitar a sua aplicação 24 .…”

ResumoObjetivo: Revisar criticamente os instrumentos de avaliação mais utilizados na atualidade na literatura para triagem e identificação precoce de anormalidades no desenvolvimento em crianças. Fontes dos dados:Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados no SciELO, plataforma CAPES, PubMed e Google Scholar, com os unitermos "prematuridade", "atraso no desenvolvimento", "paralisia cerebral", "diagnóstico precoce" e "testes de avaliação". Síntese dos dados:Foram listados 455 títulos, sendo selecionados para esta revisão 174 artigos com base em título, relevância temática e resumo. Apenas artigos originais, disponíveis em meio eletrônico, a partir de 1985, com informação sobre a construção, aplicabilidade e propriedades psicométricas dos testes foram usados. Sources: A search on SciELO, PubMed and Google Scholar was performed using the terms "prematurity," "developmental delay," "cerebral palsy," "early diagnosis" and "evaluation tests." Conclusões Summary of the findings:A total of 455 references were listed, and 174 studies were selected for this review based on title,

“…It can be administered by several health professionals and, therefore, it is one of the tests most commonly used to screen developmental delays even in Brazil. 22,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Although the test has not been validated for our population, an informal cultural adaptation has been carried out to make its administration easier. 24 Another advantage is the wide age group reached by this test, which makes a long-term follow-up of child develop- resulting from visual and auditory stimuli or through the manifestation of motor landmarks.…”

Objective: To review the literature regarding screening psychomotor tests for the early identification of developmental problems. Sources:A search on SciELO, PubMed and Google Scholar was performed using the terms "prematurity," "developmental delay," "cerebral palsy," "early diagnosis" and "evaluation tests." Summary of the findings:A total of 455 references were listed, and 174 studies were selected for this review based on title, relevance, and abstract. Only original and electronically available material, from 1985 forward, with information on design, applicability, and psychometric properties of those tests was included. Conclusions:Screening tests are important to speed the beginning of treatment measures in order to allow for better developmental outcome. Among the many tests that can be employed for this purpose, the DENVER II and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale are the most often used in Brazilian studies. The Movement Assessment of Infants is starting to be used in our country. Two other tests are recommended in the literature due to their high sensibility and specificity:the Test of Infant Motor Performance and the General Movements.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2008;84(4):289-299: Prematurity, motor delay, early diagnostic, screening tests.
