“…Other measures including Activities Scale for Kids (ASK), ABILHAND-Kids, and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) were administered pre-and post-intervention. We used three different balance tests to detect changes in different aspects of functional postural control such as anticipatory postural adjustment, limit of stability, and sensory strategies [ 22 ]. All outcome measures were labeled based on the ICF-CY model.…”

“…The TUG test is a valid and reliable test for measuring control of dynamics during walking as well as anticipatory postural adjustment in children with CP [ 22 ]. The process of the TUG test includes rising from a chair, walking 3 meters at a comfortable speed to reach a marker, then turning up to continue walking in the direction of the starting point and sitting down in the chair.…”

“…The FRT was developed to measure the orientation in space and maximum stability limits during standing conditions for children with CP [ 22 ]. To perform FRT, the participants were instructed to raise their less-affected arm at the level of the shoulder, and then reach forward as far as they can without the heel rising, concurrently.…”

“…This test was repeated three times and the average was considered as the final test score. Previous studies have shown that FRT has excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.95) and good validity with TUG scores (r = −0.77, P < 0.01) in children with CP [ 22 , 23 ]. This test covers the d4106 and d4452 codes of ICF-CY.…”

“…The PBS is a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale adapted to apprise sensory strategies, as well as other aspects of balance and postural control during functional tasks in children with CP [ 22 ]. The PBS consists of 14 items, each item is scored on a 5-point scale, with a maximum score of 56 indicating excellent balance.…”

Premature life exposure, meaning an immature central nervous system, presents a significant challenge for the development of postural control and, in turn, overall motor development. Preventing motor delay thus requires identifying, characterizing, and quantifying deficit in postural control as early as possible. In our study, we reviewed the procedures used in past studies to assess postural control among individuals born preterm, specifically the characterization of participants, the instruments and motor tasks involved, the types of data collected and analyzed, and the outcomes. To that end, we performed a literature search on PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, and Scopus using Boolean logic and assessed the quality of the studies with a standardized assessment based on the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Of 35 potential studies, 24 were included; all evaluated infants born preterm, but six did not include a control group of full-term infants. Although the heterogeneity of measurements, variability of instruments, and divergence in motor tasks examined limit definitive conclusions based on quantitative synthesis and the generalization of the results, most studies revealed dysfunctional postural control among individuals born preterm.
