To compare the motor development of preterm infants whose gestational age had been corrected to 38-40 weeks with full term newborns using the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP).
The cross-sectional study compared preterm infants (PT group), with a gestational age at birth of 28-33 weeks, at an equivalent age to full term newborns (FT group), who were assessed up to 48 hours after birth. The assessments were performed between December 2008 and April 2009 in a hospital nationally recognized for premature infant care in the city of Recife, PE, Brazil. The sample consisted of 92 infants, 46 in each group. The test was administered at age 38-40 weeks (or equivalent age in the PT group).
In the 46 preterm infants studied, 26.1% were classified as atypical, while in the FT group 100% were classified as typical (p<0.001). Moreover, there was a significant difference in average raw TIMP score between the two groups, with the PT group being lower (p<0.001).
According to TIMP performance, prematurity seems to be associated with impaired motor development.
使用婴儿运动能力测试（TIMP）比较孕龄已校正至38 - 40周的早产儿与足月儿的运动发育情况。
这项横断面研究比较了出生孕周为28 - 33周的早产儿（PT组）与足月儿（FT组），足月儿在出生后48小时内接受评估。评估于2008年12月至2009年4月在巴西伯南布哥州累西腓市一家全国公认的早产儿护理医院进行。样本包括92名婴儿，每组46名。测试在38 - 40周龄时（或PT组的等效年龄）进行。
在所研究的46名早产儿中，26.1%被归类为非典型，而FT组100%被归类为典型（p<0.001）。此外，两组之间的TIMP原始平均得分存在显著差异，PT组得分较低（p<0.001）。
根据TIMP表现，早产似乎与运动发育受损有关。
