This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the use of baby walkers on trunk control and motor development in typically developing children.
Demonstrating standard developmental steps, 29 children (14 females, 15 males; mean age 10±1 month) who used a baby walker and 19 children (10 females, 9 males; mean age 10±1 month) who did not use a baby walker were included. Motor skills were assessed using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and trunk control using Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control.
The motor development scores and trunk balance scores were found significantly lower in infants who used a baby walker compared with those not using a baby walker.
It was concluded that the use of baby walkers might adversely affect the motor development of infants and this may be due to impaired trunk control.
本研究旨在评估婴儿学步车的使用对发育正常儿童的躯干控制和运动发育的影响。
纳入29名使用婴儿学步车的儿童(14名女性,15名男性;平均年龄10±1个月)和19名未使用婴儿学步车的儿童(10名女性,9名男性;平均年龄10±1个月),展示标准发育步骤。使用艾伯塔婴儿运动量表评估运动技能,使用躯干控制分段评估法评估躯干控制。
发现使用婴儿学步车的婴儿的运动发育得分和躯干平衡得分显著低于未使用婴儿学步车的婴儿。
得出的结论是,婴儿学步车的使用可能会对婴儿的运动发育产生不利影响,这可能是由于躯干控制受损所致。
