Explore effects of age, sex, and motor ability level on balance capabilities in preschoolers with and without Cerebral Palsy (CP).
PBS was administered to 477 children 24 through 59 months: 258 with typical development (TD) and 219 with CP GMFCS levels I, II and III.
3-way ANOVA indicated PBS scores were significantly affected by age (F4,437=26.95, p<0.0001, η2p=0.198), motor ability level (F3,437=482.15, p<0.0001, ηp=0.768) and sex (F1,437=4.64, p<0.03, ηp=0.01) with significant interaction between motor ability level and age (F 12,437=5.25, p<0.001, ηp=0.126). Children's performance on individual items was analyzed by age, sex and motor ability level.
Children with TD outperformed children with CP GMFCS level I 36-59 months and children with CP GMFCS levels II and III 24-59 months. Expected performance values for children with TD and children with CP, ages 24-59 months, at GMFCS levels I, II and III are provided.
探讨年龄、性别和运动能力水平对患有和未患有脑瘫(CP)的学龄前儿童平衡能力的影响。
对477名24至59个月大的儿童进行了贝利婴儿发育量表(PBS)测试:258名发育正常(TD)儿童和219名GMFCS水平为I、II和III级的脑瘫儿童。
三因素方差分析表明,PBS得分受年龄(F4,437=26.95,p<0.0001,η2p=0.198)、运动能力水平(F3,437=482.15,p<0.0001,ηp=0.768)和性别(F1,437=4.64,p<0.03,ηp=0.01)的显著影响,且运动能力水平和年龄之间存在显著交互作用(F 12,437=5.25,p<0.001,ηp=0.126)。通过年龄、性别和运动能力水平对儿童在各个项目上的表现进行了分析。
发育正常的儿童在36 - 59个月时的表现优于GMFCS I级脑瘫儿童,在24 - 59个月时的表现优于GMFCS II级和III级脑瘫儿童。提供了24 - 59个月大、GMFCS水平为I、II和III级的发育正常儿童和脑瘫儿童的预期表现值。
