“…P reterm infants are at a higher risk for poor motor outcome than term infants (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). While the incidence of CP has slightly decreased due to vast advances in perinatal and neonatal care over the past decades (6), the rate of milder motor problems is reported to be significantly high in prematurely born children (7).…”

“…the etiology of DCD is multi-faceted and complex. the literature most commonly identifies abnormalities present during the prenatal and perinatal periods [5] and genetic influences [6]. Detailed neuropathological analyses have yet to identify the specific deficiencies in a child's central nervous system which are responsible for DCD although a number of theories have been proposed involving numerous heterogeneous factors [7].…”

Purpose. Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting 6-10% of school-aged children. DCD causes chronic motor impairments which distinguish children from their developmentally typical peers. to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Motor Observation Questionnaire for teachers (MOQ-t) for use in a Polish child population. Methods. Physical education teachers assessed a normative sample of 348 children using the MOQ-t. Internal consistency was evaluated by calculating Cronbach's alpha. Factor analysis was performed to investigate construct validity. A clinic-referred sample (n = 31) and a control group (n = 33) were recruited and concurrent validity was assessed by calculating correlations between the MOQ-t and the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KtK). receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis assessed discriminative validity. Results. Cronbach's alpha for the total MOQ-t score was 0.962. Factor analysis identified three factors: gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and general motor coordination. A negative correlation between the MOQ-t and KtK scores was found in both the control and clinic-referred groups. the AUC metric for the sample was 0.96 (CI: 0.90-1.00). Sensitivity was 0.80 for total MOQ-t scores at or above 44.5 with a specificity of 94%. Conclusions. the psychometric properties of the MOQ-t as a DCD screening instrument in Polish school-aged children are promising. Further investigation warrants the inclusion of larger population samples and additional validity comparisons such as with the commonly used Movement Assessment battery for Children (Second Edition).

“…Despite the decreasing incidence of cerebral palsy in children born prematurely [1], motor impairments, such as developmental coordination disorder, remain a considerable problem in this population [2]. In a prospective cohort of 55 premature newborns (24-32 weeks gestational age), we used serial diffusion tensor tractography to identify that altered development during the neonatal period of the major voluntary motor pathway, the corticospinal tract, was related to moderate-severe brain injuries and postnatal infection [3].…”

Premature infants are at risk for adverse motor outcomes, including cerebral palsy and developmental coordination disorder. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of ante-, peri-, and postnatal risk factors for abnormal development of the corticospinal tract, the major voluntary motor pathway, during the neonatal period. In a prospective cohort study, 126 premature neonates (24-32 weeks gestational age) underwent serial brain imaging near birth and at term-equivalent age. Using diffusion tensor tractography, mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy of the corticospinal tract were measured to reflect microstructural development. Generalized estimating equation models examined associations of risk factors on corticospinal tract development.The perinatal risk factor of greater early illness severity [as measured by the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology-II (SNAP-II)] was associated with a slower rise in fractional anisotropy of the corticospinal tract (p=0.02), even after correcting for gestational age at birth and postnatal risk factors (p=0.009). Consistent with previous findings, neonatal pain adjusted for morphine and postnatal infection were also associated with a slower rise in fractional anisotropy of the corticospinal tract (p=0.03 and 0.02 respectively). Lessening illness severity in the first hours of life might offer potential to improve motor pathway development in premature newborns.
