Motor Development

To make an important statement about a child's motor skills, the pediatrician must organize the data collected from history, physical examination, neuro-development and review as follows: 1) the engine of development milestones , 2) the classic neurological examination, and 3) Neuromoteur brain maturation markers (primitive reflexes and postural responses). Motor milestones are extracted from the history of the development as well as comments during the neurological examination.
Evaluation results in all areas is best summed up as indicating an age of child development. This approach helps to treat the child in terms of its level of operation compared to chronological age. For example, the development quotient (DQ) is the development of age divided by chronological age 100 times (see example below). This provides a simple expression of the deviation from the norm. A quotient higher than 85 in any area is considered within normal limits, a quotient of less than 70 is considered abnormal. A quotient between 70 and 85 is a grey area that warrants close monitoring. The values in the upper limit of normal is not specifically indicate Gong capabilities. Whether it is truly gifted athletes can be recognized early on by the use of this method sobering, but speculative.
