“…According to the manual, overall reliability is good, ranging from 97% agreement in 5-year-old children to 73% in 9 years old. Because the M-ABC is a modification of the Test of Motor Impairment (TOMI; Stott, Moyes, & Henderson, 1984), Henderson and Sugden (1992) stated that the evidence supporting the sound psychometric properties of the TOMI can be generalized to the M-ABC.…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate incidence, severity and types of motor problems in two groups of poor readers compared to good reading controls. A group of children with severe dyslexia referred to specialist evaluation, a teacher selected municipality sample comprising the 5% poorest readers, and a control group consisting of the 5% best readers were all assessed applying a norm-based, standardized measure by Henderson and Sugden 1992; (The Movement Assessment Battery for Children. Kent: The Psychological Corporation). The three groups were compared with regard to total motor impairment scores as well as motor function within the areas of manual dexterity, ball-skills and balance. More than 50% of the children in both groups of poor readers showed definite motor coordination difficulties at or below the 5th centile, for which motor intervention is recommended. Children in both groups showed difficulties within the sub-area of manual dexterity in particular and also performed significantly worse than controls within the sub-area of balance, but not in ball-skills. The high incidence of motor coordination problems in the two groups of poor readers indicates that all children with reading difficulties should be screened for possible motor difficulties.

“…The Stott-Moyes-Henderson test of motor impairment (TOMI) was designed as a screening test to determine motor disability in children from the age of 5 years and over 17. The tests consist of a series of eight motor tasks which assess manual dexterity, ball skills, and balance.…”

Aims-To determine the diVerential effects of preterm birth and being small for gestational age on the cognitive and motor ability of the child. Methods-A longitudinal cohort of all infants of gestational age ≤ 32 weeks born to mothers resident in the counties of Cheshire and Merseyside in 1980-1 was studied. The children were assessed at the age of 8 to 9 years using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, the Neale analysis of reading ability, and the StottMoyes-Henderson test of motor impairment. Adequacy of fetal growth was determined by the birthweight ratio-that is, the ratio of the observed birthweight to the expected birthweight for a given gestational age. Children with clinically diagnosed motor, learning or sensory disabilities were excluded. Information on social variables was obtained by a questionnaire completed by the parents. Of the 182 children, 158 were assessed. Results-IQ was positively correlated with birthweight ratio but not with birthweight or gestational age. Motor ability was associated with birthweight, gestational age, and birthweight ratio. Reading comprehension was associated with birthweight ratio, but reading rate and accuracy were best explained by social variables and sex. IQ remained associated with birthweight ratio, after adjusting for maternal education, housing status, and number of social service benefits received. Reading ability was related to these social variables but motor ability was not. Conclusions-The eVects of SGA and preterm birth diVered: SGA was associated with cognitive ability, as measured by IQ and reading comprehension; motor ability was additionally associated with preterm birth. Reading rate and accuracy were not associated with SGA or preterm birth but were socially determined. (Arch Dis Child 1997;76:F75-F81)

“…Using Gubbay's (1975) Test of Motor Proficiency (TMP) they reported that 5.7% of 9-year-olds could be classified as clumsy or motor impaired. Later, Maeland (1992) made a new screening, using the Test of Motor Impairment (TOMI) (Stott et al, 1984), which led to the conclusion that 5-5.6% of 360 10-year-old Norwegian children could be considered to be motor impaired. In a later study on Norwegian children, Sigmundsson et al (1997Sigmundsson et al ( , 1999, using five sub-tests from the Movement Assessment Battery for Children test (Movement ABC) (Henderson & Sugden, 1992), tested 125 7-and 8-year-old children and reported that 9.6% of the children had problems with hand-eye coordination.…”

This study set out to explore motor competence in 4-year-old children. This age group has not been previously tested in Norway. Ninety-one 4-year-old children from ten nursery schools were tested using the Movement ABC test. The most striking finding was that only one out of 91 children would be classified as clumsy within the fifth percentile of the USA norms, with seven children being 'borderline'. The study also showed that out of the eight children failing in the motor impaired and borderline groups, seven were boys. Clear sex differences were also apparent in the development of motor skills. On the total scores and in the two of three sections (manual dexterity and balance) boys were significantly worse than girls. There were no significant differences between the sexes with respect to ball skills competence.
