ABSTRACT. Background. The Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM) for children is a simple-toadminister scale for assessing independence across 3 domains in American children. WeeFIM was based on a conceptual framework by the World Health Organization (1980) of pathology, impairment, disability and handicap, and the "burden of care." WeeFIM is useful in assessing functional independence in children aged 6 months to 7 years. It can be used for children with developmental disabilities aged 6 months to 21 years. Normative WeeFIM data had been validated for American children. Because of cultural and environmental differences among countries, normative data for the Chinese population are needed. With a normative database, the progression of independence at home and in the community can be evaluated.WeeFIM is an 18-item, 7-level ordinal scale instrument that measures a child's consistent performance in essential daily functional skills. Three main domains (selfcare, mobility, and cognition) are assessed by interviewing or by observing a child's performance of a task to criterion standards. WeeFIM is categorized into 2 main functional streams: "Dependent" (ie, requires helper: scores 1-5) and "Independent" (ie, requires no helper: scores 6 -7). Scores 1 (total assistance) and 2 (maximal assistance) belonged to the "Complete Dependence" category. Scores 3 (moderate assistance), 4 (minimal contact assistance), and 5 (supervision or set-up) belonged to the "Modified Dependence" category. Scores 6 (modified independence) and 7 (complete independence) belonged to the "Independent" category. The WeeFIM is a 7-level criterion-specific ordinal scale. Level 7 requires no assistance for the child and the child completes the task independently without requiring a device. During the task, there is no concern about safety or taking an inordinate amount of time. Level 6 reflects modified independence and includes use of an assistive device or not completing the task in a timely or safe manner.Objective. To examine the utility of the WeeFIM in Chinese children and to create a normative WeeFIM profile suitable for Chinese children.Method. Direct interviews were conducted for 445 normal Chinese children, aged 6 months to 7 years, in the community.Results. 1. WeeFIM total score and 3 domains subscores versus age. The total WeeFIM scores increased progressively with age, reaching a plateau at 72 months.There was a progressive increase in subscores of selfcare, mobility, and cognition independence between 6 to 62 months, especially between 6 to 45 months. Similarly, the WeeFIM self-care subscores increased progressively with age, reaching a plateau at around 72 months. The WeeFIM mobility subscores increased progressively with age, reaching a plateau at around 54 months. The WeeFIM cognition subscores increased progressively with age, reaching a later plateau at around 80 months.2. WeeFIM subtotal scores versus age. The total WeeFIM score and 3 domain subscores correlated significantly with age. We further classified the 18 items into 3 ...

“…Severe visual impairment occurs in 1-2% of <27-week preemies, 20-40 times higher than in term infants. In a multicenter study on cryosurgery for ROP, increased severity of ROP was linked to motor, self-care, and communicative disability at kindergarten entry (Msall et al 2000). Children with severe ROP, but with favorable visual acuity, had a motor disability rate of 5% compared to 43% of children with severe ROP and unfavorable visual acuity (eyesight worse than 6.4 cycles per degree on Teller Cards includes legal and total blindness).…”

Severity of Neonatal Retinopathy of Prematurity Is Predictive of Neurodevelopmental Functional Outcome at Age 5.5 Years

Abstract: Severity of neonatal ROP seems to be a marker for functional disability at age 5. 5 years among very low birth weight survivors. High rates of functional limitations in multiple domains occur in children who had threshold ROP, particularly if they have unfavorable visual acuity.
