The purpose of this study was to compare levels of gross motor (GM) and fine motor (FM) development in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to compare their levels of GM and FM development with children with developmental delay (DD) without ASD. Thirty-eight children (ASD group: n = 19; DD group: n = 19) between 21 and 41 months of age were assessed using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Second Edition (PDMS-2). Using PDMS-2 classifications as well as differences between standard scores, each child was placed in one of three motor profiles based on the child's relative levels of GM and FM skills (GM = FM,GM>FM, and GM<FM). The results showed that most of the children with ASD had generally similar levels of GM and FM development. The motor profiles of children with ASD were analogous to those of children with DD.
本研究的目的是比较自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)幼儿的大肌肉运动(GM)和精细肌肉运动(FM)发展水平,并将他们的GM和FM发展水平与无ASD的发育迟缓(DD)儿童进行比较。使用第二版皮博迪发育运动量表(PDMS-2)对38名年龄在21至41个月之间的儿童(ASD组:n = 19;DD组:n = 19)进行评估。根据PDMS-2分类以及标准分数之间的差异,根据每个儿童的GM和FM技能相对水平(GM = FM、GM>FM和GM<FM),将每个儿童归入三种运动概况之一。结果表明,大多数ASD儿童的GM和FM发展水平总体相似。ASD儿童的运动概况与DD儿童的运动概况相似。
