“…Motor development in humans is achieved by functional use of trunk and limb muscles (Sutherland et al, 1980; Molnar, 1992; Pollak, 1993; Hausdorff et al, 1999; Williams and Monsma, 2006; Mayson et al, 2007; Hadders-Algra, 2010; Gouelle et al, 2011; Wu et al, 2011; Froehle et al, 2013). In detail, this motor development is generally divided into two different types of motor skills, gross motor skills and fine motor skills (Molnar, 1992; Pollak, 1993).…”

“…In detail, this motor development is generally divided into two different types of motor skills, gross motor skills and fine motor skills (Molnar, 1992; Pollak, 1993). Gross motor skills mainly require the use of proximal and axial muscles for postural control and locomotion (Sutherland et al, 1980; Hausdorff et al, 1999; Williams and Monsma, 2006; Mayson et al, 2007; Gouelle et al, 2011; Wu et al, 2011; Froehle et al, 2013), while fine motor skills require more precise movements, such as functional use of hands (Molnar, 1992; Pollak, 1993; Savion-Lemieux et al, 2009; Hadders-Algra, 2010; Timmons et al, 2012). …”

Background and Purpose: The corticospinal tract (CST) and corticoreticular pathway (CRP) are known to be important neural tracts for motor development. However, little is known about the difference in maturation of the CST and CRP. In this study, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we investigated maturation of the CST and CRP in typically developed children and normal healthy adults.Methods: We recruited 75 normal healthy subjects for this study. DTI was performed using 1.5-T, and the CST and CRP were reconstructed using DTI-Studio software. Values of fractional anisotropy (FA) and fiber volume (FV) of the CST and CRP were measured.Results: In the current study, the threshold points for CST and CRP maturation were different in normal brain development. Change in FA value of the CST showed a steep increase until 7 years of age and then a gradual increase until adulthood, however, the CRP showed a steep increase only until 2 years of age and then a very gradual increase or plateau until adulthood. In terms of FV, the CST showed a steep increase until 12 years and then a gradual increase until adulthood, in contrast, the CRP showed gradual increase of FV across whole age range (0–25 years).Conclusion: The difference in maturation process between CST and CRP appears to be related to different periods of fine and gross motor development. This radiologic information can provide a scientific basis for understanding development in motor function.

Abstract-Gait analysis systems are widely used for the assessment of gait disabilities and provide more accurate and detailed information than clinical tests. Scores and indexes have been proposed to summarize the large volume of data produced, each emphasizing different aspects of gait. Based on specific spatiotemporal gait parameters, the Functional Ambulation Performance Score (FAPS) quantifies gait at a selfselected speed. Integrated within electronic walkways, the FAPS is commonly used for clinical evaluations and has been used in an increasing number of publications over the past few years. However, its use is sometimes distorted by misunderstandings of its composition and calculation, practical and/or conceptual limits, and even the meaning of the score. This technical report reviews the use of the FAPS for the evaluation of gait based on peer-reviewed articles and clinical experience and addresses important issues that must be considered for an optimal unbiased understanding and analysis of the score.
