We investigated the relationship between gross motor abilities and sensory processing in typically developing children.
Participants included children aged 18 to 36 months (N = 48). All participants were full-term infants. We assessed gross motor abilities based on the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), and sensory processing characteristics based on the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile (ITSP). The gross motor ability index was calculated using GMFM score which was estimated from the age. Pearson's product moment correlation coefficients were used to examine the relationships between the gross motor ability indexes and ITSP section scores.
Our findings showed that gross motor ability may be related to oral sensory processing. The children who were more responsive to oral sensory processing tended to exhibit gross motor abilities below the standard for that age.
Gross motor abilities were related with sensory processing, especially oral sensory processing, in children aged 18 to 36 months.
我们研究了发育正常儿童的大运动能力与感觉加工之间的关系。
参与者包括18至36个月大的儿童（N = 48）。所有参与者均为足月儿。我们基于大运动功能测量（GMFM）评估大运动能力，并基于婴幼儿感觉概况（ITSP）评估感觉加工特征。大运动能力指数通过根据年龄估算的GMFM分数计算得出。使用皮尔逊积矩相关系数来检验大运动能力指数与ITSP各部分分数之间的关系。
我们的研究结果表明，大运动能力可能与口腔感觉加工有关。对口腔感觉加工反应更敏感的儿童往往表现出低于该年龄标准的大运动能力。
18至36个月大儿童的大运动能力与感觉加工有关，尤其是口腔感觉加工。
