Opportunities for motor stimulation in the home environment of children

Abstract

Introduction: The environment in which the child is inserted and motor opportunities offered to this is essential for a good motor development Objective: To analyze the relationship between the motor stimulation opportunities in the family environment and children's motor development of both sex. Method: were evaluated 72 children, 33 boys and 39 girls with age of 38 to 42 months. The evaluation was conducted by Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development (AHEMD) and the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). Were used the tests Chi-square, Fisher exact test, t test for independent samples, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: In general, the households have low opportunities for motor stimulation, and for households with boys the score is higher. The girls performed better in locomotor skills, while boys had higher scores on object control skills. It found a significant correlation to motricity materials and thick materials motor for boys and variety of stimulation, fine motor materials, motricity materials and motor stimulation for girls. For the boys the motor performance is explained by the available variables of fine and gross motor skills and for the girls by materials of motor stimulation, stimulation variety and materials of fine and gross motor skills. Conclusion: On the presented results we can conclude that the home environment is directly related to the motor development of girls and boys.

Global levels of fundamental motor skills in children: A systematic review

“…Studies that scored greater than 67% were classified as high quality, studies that scored 34-67% were classified as medium quality and those that scored 33% or less were regarded as low quality. 23 studies were rated as high quality (Antunes et al, 2016;Aye et al, 2018;Bolger et al, 2018;Butterfield et al, 2012;Capio et al, 2013;Cepicka, 2010;Clark et al, 2018;Cliff et al, 2009;Crane et al, 2017;Freitas et al, 2015;Hardy et al, 2010;Henrique et al, 2016;LeGear et al, 2012;Liong et al, 2015;Miklánková, 2018;Miller et al, 2015;Du Plessis et al, 2015;Robinson, Webster et al, 2012;Da Silva et al, 2017;Slykerman et al, 2016;Spessato, Gabbard, Robinson et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2015), 39 were identified as medium quality (Adamo et al, 2016;AKY Wong & Cheung, 2006;Aye et al, 2017;Bakhtiar, 2014;Bakhtiari et al, 2011;Balaban, 2018;Bardid et al, 2016;Barnett et al, 2015;Cano-Cappellacci et al, 2015;Chan et al, 2018;Dos Santos et al, 2016;Field & Temple, 2017;Grant-Beuttler et al, 2017;Hall et al, 2018;Johnstone et al, 2017;Khodaverdi et al, 2016;…”

Estímulos domiciliares e características ao nascimento de crianças com síndrome de Down

“…Em relação aos brinquedos de motricidade grossa, a criança teve pouca quantidade em materiais de exploração global e teve uma pontuação do AHEMD-SR total de 19 pontos. A variedade de estimulação (brincadeiras com outras crianças, escolha de seus brinquedos, estímulo de brincar por parte dos pais, roupas confortáveis para brincar e tempo que permanece em determinados ambientes) pode ser um preditor significativo para crescimento 13 . A criança B nasceu com peso adequado para a idade gestacional e pré-termo.…”

“…A criança teve pouca quantidade de brinquedos em motricidade fina nos itens de materiais de construção e outros e motricidade grossa nos itens de materiais manipulativos, materiais de exploração global; AHEMD -SR total foi de 12 pontos. O espaço externo foi a variável que apresentou maior inadequação, o mesmo foi observado no estudo, que avaliou o ambiente domiciliar de crianças típicas de 32 a 48 meses de uma escola municipal de Campina Grande do Sul-PR, verificandose que o espaço exterior da maioria das residências analisadas não oferecia oportunidades suficientes para o desenvolvimento das crianças 13 .…”

Translational medicine and its contribution to public health

“…In the current issue of JHGD these studies evaluate technologies that involve the improvement of health conditions and/or issues for public health investigating the health situation of the population, especially children and adolescents [8][9][10] , which corroborate the themes in the health promotion field within the context of primary care focusing on teens and their vulnerabilities [11][12][13] , nutrition and influence on child and adolescent development [14][15][16][17][18] and themes focused on translational medicine, describing results to improve the health indicators of the population [19][20][21][22] . With an emphasis on nutritional status, to highlight obesity in adolescents, Tebar et al 17 found the prevalence of abdominal obesity in adolescents in the city of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, and its associated factors.…”

“…Bone age appeared related to motor performance in both the boys and the girls, especially the strength of the upper limbs, which showed a higher correlation with bone age 20 . Silva et al 21 discussed the relationship between the motor stimulation opportunities in the family environment and children's motor development of both sexes. The home environment is directly related to the motor development of girls and boys.…”
