ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To compare gross motor development of preterm infants (PT) without cerebral palsy with healthy full-term (FT) infants, according to Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS); to compare the age of walking between PT and FT; and whether the age of walking in PT is affected by neonatal variables.

METHODS:

Prospective study compared monthly 101 PT and 52 FT, from the first visit, until all AIMS items had been observed.

Results:

Mean scores were similarity in their progression, except from the eighth to tenth months. FT infants were faster in walking attainment than PT. Birth weight and length and duration of neonatal nursery stay were related to walking delay.

CONCLUSION:

Gross motor development between PT and FT were similar, except from the eighth to tenth months of age. PT walked later than FT infants and predictive variables were birth weight and length, and duration of neonatal intensive unit stay.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Comparar o desenvolvimento motor de lactentes pré-termo sem paralisia cerebral (PT) com lactentes normais nascidos a termo (T), de acordo com Escala Motora Infantil de Alberta (AIMS); comparar idade da marcha entre PT e T e se a idade da marcha em PT é passível de ser afetada.

MÉTODOS:

Estudo prospectivo com 101 PT e 52 T, seguidos mensalmente até que todos os itens da AIMS tivessem sido observados.

Resultados:

Os escores médios apresentaram semelhanças entre os grupos, com exceção do oitavo ao décimo meses. Os lactentes T iniciaram marcha antes dos PT. Peso, estatura ao nascimento e tempo de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal (UTIN) foram preditivos.

CONCLUSÃO:

O desenvolvimento motor entre PT e T foi semelhante, exceto entre o oitavo e o décimo meses de idade. PT andaram mais tardiamente e variáveis preditivas foram peso, estatura ao nascimento e o tempo de permanência na UTIN.
