“…According to Spittle & Orton 2014 [69], all forms of motor impairment are associated with comorbidities. Thus, there is reason to believe that the motor problems seen in VP/VLBW children are part of more widespread brain pathology [70], and may act as an early biomarker for cognitive and behavioural problems later in childhood [70]. Motor and coordination problems in childhood and adolescence have been found to be associated with overall psychiatric problems in VLBW adults [71], and elevated levels of inattention and symptoms of anxiety and depression in both ELBW and control adults [72].…”

We reviewed literature on long-term motor outcomes of individuals aged five years or older born very preterm (VP: ≤32 weeks of gestation) or with very low birth weight (VLBW: ≤1500g), without cerebral palsy (CP). PubMed produced 2827 articles, whereof 38 were eligible. Assessed by standardised and norm-based motor tests, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children being the most widely used, VP/VLBW individuals showed poorer motor skills compared with term-born controls with differences of approximately 1 SD in magnitude. Some studies assessed subdomains and differences were present in fine motor/manual dexterity, ball skills and gross motor/balance. Prevalence of motor problems varied largely from 8-37% in studies with cutoff at the 5th percentile or −1.5 SD to 12-71% in studies with cutoff at the 15th percentile or −1 SD. This review shows that the degree of motor impairments continues to be substantial among VP/VLBW individuals who do not develop CP.

“…For example, there is widespread controversy about the diagnostic criteria and evaluation tools for DCD, one of which is that it is difficult for researchers to determine whether the NDDs are a single barrier or a subtype in terms of detection criteria. There are common comorbidities among all types of NDDs, which some researchers believe may indicate many types ( 8), but others conversely believe that since difficulties/disorders of motor in children are a universal feature in various types of NDDs and even neurodevelopmental disorders like cerebral palsy (29), it may not even be an independent disorder (30). Secondly, there is currently no tool that can be used as the "gold standard, " and only the widely used tools with standardized norms should be selected for evaluation.…”

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a motor development disorder that affects an individual’s growth and development, and may persist throughout life. It is not caused by intellectual or physical disability. Studies have suggested DCD often occurs in childhood, resulting in a series of abnormal manifestations that hinder children’s normal development; cohort studies suggest a higher incidence in boys than in girls. Early diagnosis and appropriate interventions can help relieve symptoms. Unfortunately, the relevant research still needs to be further developed. In this paper, we first start from the definition of DCD, systematically investigate the relevant research papers in the past decades and summarize the current research hotspots and research trends in this field. After summarizing, it is found that this research field has attracted more researchers to join, the number of papers published has increased year by year and has become a hot spot in multidisciplinary research, such as education, psychology, sports rehabilitation, neurobiology, and neuroimaging. The continuous development of the correlation between perinatal factors and DCD, various omics studies, and neuroimaging methods also brings new perspectives and working targets to DCD research. DCD-related research will continue to deepen along the research direction of multivariate, multidimensional, and multimodal.

“…The broad spectrum of problems across various ICF domains, ranging from abnormal MRI findings, cognitive, mental and motor problems, to lower general and social functioning, and lower health-related quality of life, suggest a common aetiology that probably involves a combination of and an interplay between genetic, antenatal and postnatal risk factors. 79 Being born preterm with VLBW has major immediate and long-term consequences for immature organ systems, particularly the brain and lungs, causing neurodevelopmental problems and impaired cardiorespiratory function, which may persist to adulthood. Presently, emerging evidence suggests that perinatal inflammation causing white matter damage is likely to be a contributor to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including cerebral palsy, cognitive impairment, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder.…”

Background Children born preterm with very low birthweight (VLBW) face long‐lasting neurodevelopmental challenges, where multidisciplinary assessments are warranted. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for understanding and conceptualising these outcomes. Objectives We aimed to review clinical and neuroimaging findings from birth to adulthood in a Norwegian cohort of individuals born preterm with VLBW (gestational age <37 weeks, birthweight ≤1500 g) within the framework of ICF. Data Sources We searched PubMed and Embase for articles reporting results of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Low Birth Weight in a Lifetime Perspective study. Study Selection and Data Extraction We included original articles reporting proportions of adverse outcomes, mean group differences, risk factors or associations between outcomes. Data were extracted according to ICF's two‐level classification. Body functions and structures comprised outcomes of brain structures, cognition, mental health, vision, pain and physical health. Activities and participation comprised motor skills, general and social functioning, education, employment, and health‐related quality of life. Synthesis We performed a qualitative synthesis of included articles. Where mean (SD) was reported, we calculated group differences in SD units. Results Fifty‐eight publications were included. Within body functions and structures, increased prevalence of brain structure pathology, lower cognitive performance, mental health problems, visual and physical health impairments through childhood, adolescence and young adulthood were reported among preterm VLBW participants compared with controls. Within activities and participation, motor problems, lower general and social functioning, and lower academic attainment were found. Perinatal factors were associated with several outcomes, and longitudinal findings suggested persistent consequences of being born preterm with VLBW. Conclusions Being born preterm with VLBW has long‐term influences on body functions and structures, activities and participation. The ICF is appropriate for assessing general domains of functioning and guiding the management of individuals born preterm with VLBW.
