“…28 reported that antigravity limb movements in preterm infants within the first 3 months of corrected age were insufficient compared with those in term infants, and no improvement in development was observed in preterm infants within those first 3 months. They also showed that gross motor development at 6 and/or 12 months corrected age was delayed in infants who had insufficient antigravity limb movements in early infancy 30 .…”

“…However, even with its limited results, the present study indicates that diaper design has a significant effect at least on the trajectory area of knee movement in the sagittal plane - a probable indicator of the range of lower leg lifting movements and proximity of these movements to the trunk. The extent to which such movement reflects the amount of kicking in the lower limbs needs further study, but it has also been reported that the development of antigravity movements are critical for infants as they promote exploration activities of the form of their body, and increase sensory-motor experiences such as hand-foot contact (double touch), which are important as a basis for later motor development 9,28,30 . As diaper design can influence such movements, it seems possible that careful design of infant clothing, including diapers, may contribute to more proper development of the body movements of young infants.…”

This study examined the characteristics of young infants’ lower limb spontaneous movements based on differences in shape of diapers. Twenty-seven healthy infants (103 ± 16.3 days old) were enrolled in this study. We measured the spontaneous movements of their lower limbs in four conditions (Naked, wearing Normal type diapers, wearing Type A diapers, and wearing Type B diapers). The Normal diaper has a wider waist belt than the Type A diaper, and the Type B diaper has a narrower crotch area than the Type A diaper. We observed them in seven indices (the velocity of lower limb movements, the trajectory area of knee movement in the sagittal plane and the frontal plane, the distance between both knees and between side of abdomen and knee, and correlation of velocities between side of abdomen and knee and between left and right ankles). The results showed that the velocity of the lower limb movements in the Naked condition was higher than when wearing Normal diapers. The value for the trajectory area of knee movement in sagittal plane, which reflects the range of lower leg lifting movements and closeness of such movements to the trunk, for the Type B diaper condition was higher than that for the Normal diaper condition. This result indicates that the shape of the diaper affects the spontaneous movements of the lower limbs of young infants.

“…However, other tools developed to evaluate specific gross motor behaviors—for example, spontaneous general movements and postural development- and specific fine motor behaviors- for example, reaching kinematics or object exploration—should also be used in future studies to deeply investigate the relationships between gross and fine motor skills and later developmental outcomes. Indeed, as other studies on typically developing and ELGA infants have suggested ( Charitou et al, 2010 ; Pin et al, 2010 ), researchers in the future could examine the achievement of specific gross motor milestones, for example, unsupported sitting, fine motor milestones, proficient planning, control of reaching, or complex object exploratory patterns ( Fallang et al, 2005 ; Zuccarini et al, 2016 , 2017 ; Kaul et al, 2019 ), as well as, their relationships with spontaneous general movements, e.g., anti-gravity limbs movements, showed by preterm infants in the very first months of life ( Miyagishima et al, 2018 ). This could be helpful for more deeply understanding intradomain and cross-domain relationships and for identifying which specific early gross and fine motor skills predict later motor and cognitive development in ELGA infants.…”

In this study, we analyzed whether 6-month gross and fine motor skills were related to 12-month gross and fine motor skills and cognitive development, controlling for 6-month cognitive skills, and neonatal status (extremely low gestational age ELGA ≤ 28 weeks vs. full-term FT ≥ 37 weeks). We also investigated, at 6 months, predictive indexes for motor and cognitive delay at 12-months. We assessed 40 infants (20 ELGA and 20 FT) at 6 and 12 months (corrected age for the ELGA infants). Six-month gross motor skills were related to 12-month gross motor, fine motor, and cognitive skills and predicted 12-month gross motor delay. Six-month cognitive skills explained an additional amount of variance of 12-month gross motor skills, whereas neonatal status explained an additional amount of variance of 12-month cognitive skills. Considering the intradomain and cross-domain cascading effects of early gross motor skills on later motor and cognitive development, these skills should be repeatedly assessed in ELGA infants in the first year of life for early identification of infants with delayed gross motor skills and implementation of customized interventions.

“…Infants’ spontaneous movements during infancy are related to their developmental outcomes later in life ( Bultmann et al, 2019 ; Butcher et al, 2009 ; Hadders-Algra et al, 1997 ; Karch et al, 2012 ; Miyagishima et al, 2018 ). Moreover, spontaneous movements show different forms at different ages and are influenced by brain structure and maturational level ( Kobesova & Kolar, 2014 ; Prechtl, 1997 ).…”

Traditional methods do not capture the multidimensional domains and dynamic nature of infant behavioral patterns. We aim to compare full‐day, in‐home leg movement data between infants with typical development (TD) and infants at risk of developmental disabilities (AR) using barcoding and nonlinear analysis. Eleven infants with TD (2–10 months) and nine infants AR (adjusted age: 2–14 months) wore a sensor on each ankle for 7 days. We calculated the standard deviation for linear variability and sample entropy (SampEn) of leg acceleration and angular velocity for nonlinear variability. Movements were also categorized into 16 barcoding states, and we calculated the SampEn and proportions of the barcoding. All variables were compared between the two groups using independent‐samples t‐test or Mann‐Whitney U test. The AR group had larger linear variability compared to the TD group. SampEn was lower in the AR group compared to TD group for both acceleration and angular velocity. Two barcoding states’ proportions were significantly different between the two groups. The results showed that nonlinear analysis and barcoding could be used to identify the difference of dynamic multidimensional movement patterns between infants AR and infants with TD. This information may help early diagnosis of developmental disabilities in the future.
