This article describes how the Gross Motor Ability Estimator (GMAE) software can provide important information based on the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-66 score of a child with congenital Zika syndrome.A child was assessed at 9, 17, and 25 months of age through the GMFM-66. At 2 years, the child's gross motor ability was estimated and classified according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).At 2 years of age, the child in this case required assistance to roll and was unable to maintain antigravity trunk posture in sitting position, typical abilities of GMFCS level V.GMAE can be useful to guide health professionals that care for children with lifelong physical and developmental care needs. This is the first study that demonstrated how to use the GMAE in this specific population.
本文描述了粗大运动能力评估器（GMAE）软件如何根据先天性寨卡综合征患儿的粗大运动功能测量（GMFM）-66评分提供重要信息。一名儿童在9、17和25月龄时通过GMFM-66进行了评估。在2岁时，根据粗大运动功能分类系统（GMFCS）对该儿童的粗大运动能力进行了评估和分类。在2岁时，该病例中的儿童翻身需要帮助，且无法在坐位时保持抗重力的躯干姿势，这是GMFCS V级的典型能力。GMAE有助于指导为有终身身体和发育护理需求的儿童提供护理的卫生专业人员。这是第一项展示如何在这一特定人群中使用GMAE的研究。
