“…En cuanto a la opinión de los pediatras sobre el uso del andador infantil, un estudio realizado en el 4º Congreso Turco de Pediatría 8 , celebrado en Estambul, estimó que la mayoría de los pediatras no recomiendan el uso del andador infantil, y solo el 4% de los pediatras recomienda el uso del andador infantil, estos datos son muy similares a los obtenidos en los estudios de Rhodes 14 y Chaga 15 , ambos autores coinciden que el 74% de los pediatras no recomienda el uso del andador infantil, siendo un mayor número de rechazo a su uso en pediatras que han observado lesiones relacionadas con el andador infantil.…”

Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el uso del andador infantil en menores de 24 meses de vida y establecer diferentes pautas de prevención para los accidentes infantiles relacionados con el andador infantil.Método: Este estudio se basa en una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura utilizando las principales bases de datos nacionales e internacionales como PubMed, Cochrane Plus, Lilacs y Cuiden.Resultados: Se identificaron 1258 artículos. De estos, tras aplicar los criterios de exclusión y realizar el análisis crítico de los artículos se obtuvieron 17 artículos para la realización de la revisión bibliográfica. El principal motivo de exclusión fue el año de publicación. Lilacs fue la base de datos con mayor número de artículos, seguida de PubMed.Conclusión: Numerosas investigaciones han demostrado que los andadores infantiles son un factor de riesgo para producir un accidente infantil. Por tanto, realizar unas adecuadas medidas de prevención y concienciar a los padres sobre los riesgos que conlleva su uso, es el primer paso para disminuir este tipo de lesiones.

“…En otros estudios, como en Singapur, son menos comunes ya que la mayoría de ciudadanos viven en apartamentos de un solo nivel. Sin embargo, otros estudios afirman que existen otro tipo de lesiones relacionadas con su uso, como el atrapamiento de dedos, desplomes, intoxicaciones y quemaduras 7,15,17 .…”

“…Chagas, et al evaluated 12-months-old infants with the Alberta Infant Motor Development Scale (AIMS) until they were 18-months-old or until they learnt to walk independently. They found that the use of a BW did not influence the independent walking age [14]. However, the study sample was limited to 26 child-parent pairs.…”

“…Many families still continue to use BW walkers to keep the child occupied or to accelerate his/her development [8,12]. Studies about the effects of BW use on child development report conflicting results, some reporting adverse effects while others reporting no such effect [5,13,14]. On the other hand it is was reported that falling down from the baby walker was common the most form of the accident related to baby walker [15].…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of baby walker (BW) use on child development. Methods: The study was conducted in İstanbul University İstanbul Medical Faculty Social Pediatric Outpatient Clinic. Children aged 18-30 months who used BW for 30 minutes or more a day for at least 1 month constituted the user group (n = 100) and those who never used a BW were in the control group (n = 100). Information was obtained through the personal health record of the unit and by a face-to-face questionnaire applied to the families during their visits to the unit. The Ankara Development Screening Inventory (ADSI) was used to assess language-cognitive, motor and mental development. Sitting without support and independent walking age and four measures (history and physical, neurological and orthopedic examinations) of gait disorders were evaluated in relation to child development. Results: There was no developmental problem in any of the children, but there was a statistically significant difference in terms of an atypical gait pattern between the two groups Atypical gait pattern and especially toe-walking were more frequent in children who used BW. The accident rate in BW users was also significantly higher than those who did not use BW. The most common reasons for BW use were keeping the child occupied and improving his/her development. Conclusion: The use of BW should be considered while evaluating toe-walking in children. To convince families in avoiding use of BW, they need to be informed that it has no positive influence on motor development but carries a risk for accidents and toe walking. This information should be part of the parent education offered in Well Child Clinics.

This essay outlines my professional trajectory described in the Memorial prepared for the full professor application process at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in 2012. Gerontology is the field of my professional practice; I began my career teaching, coordinating community services and assuming administrative positions, and later on undertook graduate studies and research. Issues related to the functionality of the elderly have been the focal point of my investigation. My career trajectory as a professor, advisor and researcher has been marked by commitment and obstinacy in the search for knowledge acquisition and enhancement. I follow a dynamic path that encompasses diverse areas of activity in which I place effort on developing professional partnerships and tightening established friendships to make this endeavor lighter and more shared with others. I continue my trajectory learning, researching, producing, publishing, and teaching. Keywords: Research, Occupational Therapy, Gerontology.Resumo: Este ensaio apresenta minha trajetória profissional, descrita no memorial elaborado para o concurso de professor titular na Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, em 2012. Tendo a gerontologia como área de atuação profissional, iniciei minha trajetória pelo ensino, extensão e administração e posteriormente enveredei pelos caminhos da pós-graduação e da pesquisa. A temática sobre a funcionalidade do idoso tem sido a tônica das minhas investigações. Minha trajetória como professora, orientadora e pesquisadora é marcada pelo envolvimento e pela obstinação na busca de conhecimento e de aprimoramento. Percorro uma trajetória dinâmica que engloba frentes diversificadas de atuação, na qual procuro desenvolver parcerias profissionais e estreitar laços de amizade para tornar essa travessia mais leve e compartilhada. Sigo aprendendo, pesquisando, produzindo, publicando, ensinando! Palavras-chave: Pesquisa,
