The purpose of the present study was to describe the rate of motor development in infants with Down syndrome in the age range of 3-12 months and identify the difficulties both in performance and acquiring motor skills in prone, supine, sitting and standing positions. Nineteen infants with Down syndrome and 25 healthy full term typical infants were assessed using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) monthly from 3 to 12 months of age. The infants with Down syndrome achieved significant later the level of motor performance of the typical infants. In the supine posture, the performance was significantly lesser for the Down syndrome infants in comparison to the typical infants from the 3rd to 6th month and in the 8th month. In the prone, sitting and standing postures this difference is found for all the months. In conclusion, the sequence of motor development of the Down syndrome is the same as the typical infants. However infants with Down syndrome need more time to acquire skills, mainly antigravitational ones, among them the standing position.
本研究的目的在于描述唐氏综合征婴儿在 3-12 个月的年龄范围内的运动发育速度，并确定他们在俯卧位、仰卧位、坐位和站立位时在运动表现和运动技能获得方面的困难。19 名唐氏综合征婴儿和 25 名健康足月的典型婴儿在 3 至 12 个月龄期间每月使用 Alberta 婴儿运动量表（AIMS）进行评估。唐氏综合征婴儿达到典型婴儿运动表现水平的时间明显较晚。在仰卧位，唐氏综合征婴儿在第 3 至 6 个月和第 8 个月时的表现明显比典型婴儿差。在俯卧位、坐位和站立位，所有月份都存在这种差异。结论是，唐氏综合征婴儿的运动发育顺序与典型婴儿相同。然而，唐氏综合征婴儿需要更多的时间来获得技能，主要是抗重力技能，包括站立位。
