| Description | Journal: Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology This study compared three methods of assessing motor impairment during infancy. The 77 infants studied were considered to be at high risk of motor impairment because of abnormal neonatal cranial ultrasound scans or abnormal somatosensory responses. The children were assessed at eight and 12 months post-term by the Movement Assessment of Infants, the Griffiths locomotor development quotient and the limb-by-limb approach, and the results were compared with clinical assessment at 12 months post-term. The sensitivity of the limb-by-limb approach was highest, although its specificity was slightly lower than the other tests. It was also the easiest to perform. While giving information about the quality of movement, none of these methods is a quantitative test of movement. |
