Abstract:Objectives: To compare Alberta Infant Motor Scale scores for Brazilian infants with the Canadian norm and to construct sex-specific reference curves and percentiles for motor development for a Brazilian population.
Methods:This study recruited 795 children aged 0 to 18 months from a number of different towns in Brazil. Infants were assessed by an experienced researcher in a silent room using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale. Sex-specific percentiles (P5, P10, P25, P50, P75 and P90) were calculated and analyzed f… Show more

Standardized motor development assessments have limited validity in cultures other than that in which the normative sample was established. Their use can result in under- or over-referral for services.

“…O desenvolvimento motor foi avaliado com a Alberta Motor Infant Scale (AIMS) 16,17 , instrumento validado e normatizado para a população brasileira 18,19 o qual avalia a movimentação espontânea e habilidades motoras de bebês recém-nascidos até os 18 meses de idade. A escala é composta por 58 itens agrupados em quatro subescalas: prono (21 itens), supino (9 itens), sentado (12 itens) e em pé (16 itens) 16 .…”
RESUMOPouco se sabe sobre a repercussão para o desenvolvimento do bebê dos fatores ambientais e das tarefas cotidianas as quais a mãe adolescente está exposta. Por isso o presente estudo propôs identificar as associações e os preditores do desenvolvimento motor e cognitivo de bebês filhos de mães adolescentes e adultas. Foram avaliados 40 bebês com idade entre 0 e 18 meses, tendo 20 bebês em cada grupo -mães adolescentes e adultas.
ABSTRACTLittle is known about the impact of environmental factors and daily tasks for the infant development which the adolescent mother is exposed. Therefore the present study was to identify associations and predictors of motor and cognitive development of infants of adolescent and adult mothers. Participated 40 babies aged between 0 and 18 months, 20 babies in each group -adolescent and adult mothers. Alberta Motor Infant Scale, Bayley Scale of Infant Development; Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development, Knowledge of Infant Development and Daily Activities of Infant was used for assessments. A strong association between motor skills and cognition (r² = 0.88) in both groups was observed. The predictors of motor development in the adolescent mother group were paternal age, home space, the mother does not work outside the home, parents' educational level, number of toys and adults in the household, parenting practices and knowledge of parents The predictors of cognitive development were parents living together, the amount of rooms in the residence and parenting practices. In the adult mother group, the predictors of motor development were the cognitive development, caesarean birth, parents living together, amount of rooms in the residence and parenting practices. As predictors of cognitive development, remained in the regression model the motor development, number of days in the ICU, number of rooms in the residence and parental practice. Conclusions: The interdependence between cognition and motor skills, family and residence characteristics, and parenting practices were the main determinants of infant trajectory. Keywords: Adolescent. Pregnancy. Cognition. Motor dexterity.
IntroduçãoO desenvolvimento humano é um processo que decorre das mudanças nos domínios motor, cognitivo, afetivo e físico. Os domínios motor e cognitivo do desenvolvimento estão em constante interação, sendo fortemente influenciados um pelo outro 1 . Consequentemente é fundamentar ao estudar o desenvolvimento infantil, compreender as muitas conexões na qual
“…Para a avaliação motora foi utilizada a Alberta Infant Motor Scale [12], que mensura as aquisições motoras do nascimento até a marcha independente (0-18 meses), validada e normatizada para a população brasileira [14][15][16]. A escala é composta por 58 itens agrupados em quatro subescalas: prono, supino, sentado e em pé.…”

ABSTRACT AIMS: To evaluate the acquisition of motor milestones in the first two years of life and the relationship between gross motor function and manipulation, cognition and language in infants who attend day care centers. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample of infants attending public and private day care centers in a city in southern Brazil. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development were used to assess the motor performance of each child. Descriptive statistics were used for the characterization of the sample and simple linear regression in three different age groups (group 1: between six and nine months; group 2: between 10 and 12 months; group 3: between 13 and 16 months) for the analysis of relationships between the variables gross and fine motor skills, cognition and language. RESULTS: We studied 63 infants between six and 16 months of age who did not present statistically significant differences in their biological and sociodemographic characteristics when the three stratified groups were compared. Most children did not acquire the developmental milestones in the period expected for their age group. There was correlation between the developmental scores, and the gross motor function was able to explain a large part of the variability in the fine motor function, cognition and language scores (R 2 ajust>0.5) over the first two years of life. CONCLUSIONS: The evaluated motor skills occurred generally late in the sample. The delay in the acquisition of gross motor milestones had an impact on the overall developmental skills, corroborating the influence of gross motor function in the other domains of development.KEY WORDS: infant development; motor skills; infant; child day care center.
