We sought to identify measures of variability from sitting postural sway that are significantly different among infants who were developing typically, those who were developmentally delayed or hypotonic, and those who later on had a diagnosis of spastic or athetoid cerebral palsy.
Sixty-five infants were evaluated when they were just developing the ability to sit upright by assessing center of pressure (COP) data, using measures of both amount and temporal organization of COP variability.
The results indicated that measures of variability of COP could discriminate between infants with developmental delay and infants with cerebral palsy and add to the description of sitting postural behavior.
Our method of evaluating sitting postural control could be an objective tool to help describe distinctive features of motor delay in an individual infant and could lead in the design of selective therapeutic interventions for improving postural control of infants with motor delays.
我们试图确定在正常发育的婴儿、发育迟缓或肌张力低下的婴儿以及后来被诊断为痉挛型或手足徐动型脑瘫的婴儿中，坐姿姿势摆动变异性的测量指标存在显著差异。
通过评估压力中心（COP）数据，使用COP变异性的数量和时间组织测量方法，对65名刚开始具备直立坐姿能力的婴儿进行评估。
结果表明，COP变异性测量指标能够区分发育迟缓婴儿和脑瘫婴儿，并有助于描述坐姿行为。
我们评估坐姿姿势控制的方法可能是一种客观工具，有助于描述个体婴儿运动延迟的独特特征，并可能为设计选择性治疗干预措施以改善运动延迟婴儿的姿势控制提供指导。
