“…The disagreement observed between the two balance evaluation tools may be due to the kind of movement analysed, because stabilometry specifically evaluates postural control and adaptive response to various changes controlled in the sensory input, whereas MABC-2 includes exercises which involve not only postural control, but also other variables such as agility. On the other hand, the study carried out by Bucci et al (23), which also used posturography in children with an average age of 5.38 years, found unfavourable results for the preterm group especially under the closed-eyes condition, although in this case the differences obtained in the unstable condition also stood out, as opposed to the results obtained by the previous study for the support surface without foam condition. These differences might have occurred because the two studies used different samples as far as age and type of platform used.…”

“…All the studies included underage participants, who were classified according to gestational age, regardless of birth weight and sex. Out of the 16 studies, eight provided the average gestational age per group ( 19 – 21 , 23 , 28 , 29 , 31 , 32 ); seven provided the intervals of gestational age which corresponded to each group ( 18 , 22 , 24 – 27 , 30 ), and one provided the data about the average gestational age of the preterm group, even though it did not provide data referring to the control group ( 33 ). The birth weight and sex of both groups was specified in 10 studies.…”

The influence between gestational age and postural control, a systematic review

The central nervous system (CNS) of preterm infants might have some peculiarities which distinguish it from that of full term infants. The difficulties associated with prematurity are the main cause of deaths all over the world during the new-born period after community-acquired pneumonia, and the second cause of deaths worldwide in children under five years old. Early recognition of signs indicating fragile postural control in premature infants can support understanding and help prevent and early intervention on possible future neuromotor dysfunctions in these subjects. The purpose of this paper is to determine if there is a qualitatively different development of postural control in premature infants without neurological involvement and infants born at term. We conducted a systematic review of longitudinal and cross-sectional case-control studies published between 2010 and March 2020 on this topic. The evaluation of parameters related to postural control was also included. The methodological quality of the selected works was evaluated using the CASPe critical reading programme for cases and controls. PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews were followed for prematurity and postural control. 16 articles were included. The total sample amounted to 3,460 participants, of which 1,860 in the preterm group, and 1,600 in the control group. All the studies found show a poorer postural control by the group of children born preterm compared to the group of children born at term and one study indicating more limited postural control with higher prematurity. Regarding the methodological quality according to CASPe, those studies exceeding half of the total score were considered of adequate quality.

“…In line with our assumption that standing still is difficult for PC, other authors reported lower performance for these children during the balance tasks of the M-ABC, with greater difficulties standing on one leg or walking heel-to-toe (54-58). Also, some studies using a force plate (59)(60)(61), but not all (58, 62), revealed less efficient postural control with more body sway in PC. Lorefice et al, especially, reported more postural sway in 4 years PC than in TC when performing a picture naming task (59), supporting the functional link between postural and cognitive activities postulated by Olivier et al (50).…”

Influence of body mobility on attention networks in school-aged prematurely born children: A controlled trial

et al. 2022

School-aged prematurely born children (PC) have a higher risk of academic difficulties, which may be partly explained by attention difficulties. It has been suggested that children’s attentional performance might be influenced by their body posture and spontaneous body motion. The aim of this study (ClinicalTrials.gov – NCT 03125447) was to test the influence of three body mobility conditions on the three functions of attention (alertness, orienting, and executive control) among school-aged PC vs. term-born children (TC). Notably, 21 PC and 21 TC performed the Attention Network Test for Children in three body mobility conditions, namely, sitting and standing imposed fixed postures and a free-to-move condition. The children’s median reaction times were compared between trials (1) with and without alerting cues, (2) with valid and invalid orienting cues, and (3) with and without distracting information, to calculate the performance of alertness, orienting, and executive control, respectively. Results showed that with distracting information, PC exhibited significantly slower responses in the standing-still posture than in the sitting-still posture (1,077 ± 240 vs. 1,175 ± 273 ms, p < 0.05), but not TC. No difference was observed with the free-to-move condition. PC and TC did not significantly differ in alertness or orienting, regardless of body mobility condition. These data suggest that PC must use executive resources to stand still and maintain position, which impairs their performance during executive tasks. We speculate that these results may be related to less developed postural control and motor inhibition in PC.

“…Os recém-nascidos pré-termo experimentam uma série de morbidades relacionadas à imaturidade de seus sistemas e órgãos e estados de doenças concomitantes (SYMINGTON; PINELLI, 2006), apresentando assim maiores riscos de deficiência no neurodesenvolvimento, incluindo a ocorrência de paralisia cerebral, retardo mental, deficiências visuais e perdas auditivas (BENZIES et al, 2013), além de deficiências motoras (BUCCI et al, 2017). Para Pretti et al (2010), o lactente prétermo apresenta dificuldades para adquirir habilidades motoras fundamentais, atraso na aquisição da linguagem e problemas de coordenação motora; e, em conformidade, Cabral et al (2016) expõe que lactentes pré-termo ou com baixo peso ao nascer apresentam maior chance de terem transtornos de processamento sensorial.…”

A prematuridade pode causar déficits de desenvolvimento motor nos lactentes apresentando assim a necessidade de intervenção precoce, neste sentido o objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar o desenvolvimento motor de lactentes prematuros na aquisição da habilidade do sentar independente após um programa de intervenção motora e de orientação de pais para estímulos domiciliares. Estudo longitudinal e avaliativo sobre o marco motor sentar em 11 lactentes, de ambos os sexos, com diagnóstico de prematuridade e idade cronológica de 6 a 8 meses. Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos, o grupo intervenção que recebeu tratamento fisioterapêutico três vezes por semana durante seis semanas; e o grupo orientação, com encontros semanais durante o mesmo período com a fisioterapeuta que disponibilizou uma cartilha estruturada de exercícios a serem realizados pelos cuidadores durante a semana, sendo ambos os grupos com foco no sentar independente e avaliados com a escala AIMS. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os resultados antes e após intervenção (t: -6.8571; p: 0,0012) assim como antes e após orientação (t: -4.5995; p: 0.0029), sendo que ao analisar a porcentagem do ganho na dimensão sentar pela AIMS, o grupo intervenção teve maior ganho. Conclui-se que a intervenção fisioterapêutica apresentou melhores resultados para a aquisição do marco motor sentar. Apesar disso, a estimulação feita pelos pais após orientação profissional também apresentou valores positivos.
