Abstract
Assessing the quality of general movements (GMs) is a non-invasive tool to identify at early age infants at risk for developmental disorders. To investigate whether specific characteristics of definitely abnormal GMs are associated with developmental outcome at school age. Observational cohort study (long-term follow-up). Parents of 40 children (median age 8.3 years, 20 girls) participated in this follow-up study. In infancy (median corrected age 10 weeks), the children (median gestational age 30.3 weeks; birth weight 1243 g) had shown definitely abnormal GMs according to Hadders-Algra (2004). Information on specific GM characteristics such as the presence of fidgety movements, degree of complexity and variation, and stiff movements, was available (see Hamer et al. 2011). A standardised parental interview (presence of CP, attendance of school for special education, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale to determine functional performance) and questionnaires (Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire [DCD-Q] to evaluate mobility and Child Behavior Checklist to assess behaviour) were used as outcome measures. Six children had cerebral palsy (CP), ten children attended a school for special education, and eight children had beha...Continue Reading
