The lack of Brazilian norms restrains the use of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) to precisely categorize infant motor development and discriminate infants with motor difficulties from typically developing infants.
This study investigated reference values for the AIMS for Brazilian infants.
Descriptive, cross-sectional study of infants from birth-to-18 months old. Trained professionals assessed infants in daycares, homes, and governmental health centers.
Results showed increases in raw scores across age groups from 0- to 15-months of age. The stability of raw scores was observed after 16 months of age. Brazilian infants demonstrated lower scores in specific ages compared to the Canadian sample.
Canadian and Brazilian children showed differences in motor performance scores across age and norms were established for Brazilian infants. This study highlights the importance to establish reference values for AIMS of infants across cultures.
巴西缺乏相关标准,这限制了艾伯塔婴儿运动量表(AIMS)在精确划分婴儿运动发育以及区分运动困难婴儿和发育正常婴儿方面的应用。
本研究调查了巴西婴儿AIMS的参考值。
对出生至18个月大的婴儿进行描述性横断面研究。训练有素的专业人员在日托中心、家庭和政府卫生中心对婴儿进行评估。
结果显示,从0到15个月龄,各年龄组的原始分数均有所增加。16个月龄后观察到原始分数的稳定性。与加拿大样本相比,巴西婴儿在特定年龄的分数较低。
加拿大和巴西儿童在运动表现分数上存在年龄差异,并且为巴西婴儿建立了相关标准。本研究强调了为不同文化背景的婴儿建立AIMS参考值的重要性。
