Aim: While deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is suspected to be associated with comorbidities, their nature and prevalence are unclear. This scoping review aims to report DP comorbidities occurring until the age of 2 years, their prevalence and whether they depend on the child's age and sex. Methods: Relevant studies were identified by searching the Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed and EBSCO databases from 1992 to 30 April 2021. Data on study characteristics, comorbidities and assessment instruments were extracted and qualitatively synthesised. Risk of bias was assessed and studies with high risk of bias were excluded. Results: Studies meeting selection criteria (n = 27) often evaluated groups from tertiary clinics, implying selection bias. Studies reported on developmental delay (n = 16), limited speech production (n = 1), auditory (n = 3), visual (n = 3), mandibular (n = 3) and neurological impairments (n = 1). The data did not allow prevalence calculation or modifying effect of sex. Due to biased data, the review provided no evidence on DP comorbidities. Weak evidence suggested that in the selective samples, DP was associated with motor and language delays in the first year. Conclusion: Due to biased data, no evidence on comorbidity in infants with DP was available. Our study underlined the need of risk of bias assessment in scoping reviews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Motor skills and movement-related functioning significantly shape how children experience and interact with the world around them. Among infants and young children, developmental motor disorders contribute to delays with motor, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Early and accurate identification of these disorders is necessary to facilitate timely access to therapeutic interventions that minimize the long-term effects of disability on everyday activities and participation. In the United States, motor assessments commonly used among children 0 to 3 years focus on completion of specific motor skills at a single point in time, which provides only a part of the greater picture that is a child's motor and movement-related functioning. Video-capture methods, like the General Movements Assessment (GMA) and the Infant Motor Profile (IMP), offer greater accuracy and predictive power to (1) identify motor deficits in young children and (2) facilitate early access to supportive, therapeutic intervention.

This commentary examines the provisions for early childhood development (ECD) in the global action plan for rehabilitation published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) within the context of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for inclusive education. The meeting reports of the WHO Rehabilitation 2030 for 2017 and 2019 and the related documents were reviewed along with ECD policy documents from WHO, UNICEF, UNESCO, and the World Bank. The importance of a life-course approach to rehabilitation for the health and wellbeing of persons with disabilities was highlighted in the Rehabilitation 2030. However, the critical and foundational role of rehabilitation in ECD for children with disabilities to facilitate inclusive education, especially in low- and middle-income countries as envisioned by the SDG 4.2, was not clearly addressed. Children under 5 years with developmental delays and disabilities who are not developmentally on track in health and psychosocial wellbeing require timely rehabilitation to ensure that they benefit from inclusive education. The culture and practice of rehabilitation should be nurtured from infancy as an indispensable component of ECD to adequately prepare children with developmental disabilities for inclusive education and ensure effective rehabilitation services over the life course. Rehabilitation is an integral and critical component of early childhood development to optimise school readiness for children with developmental disabilities. Routine newborn screening, developmental assessment, and surveillance of children from birth are foundational to any effective rehabilitation in early childhood. Global investment to promote and support rehabilitation services from early childhood within the health systems and across all levels of service delivery including community settings is warranted to achieve the sustainable development goals for children with disabilities.

APRAXIA ,FAMILIES - Abstract
The article discusses the findings of a study conducted by the Dutch Lifelines Cohort on the risk of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) running in families. DCD is a condition characterized by motor problems that interfere with daily activities. The study used a large population-based cohort and found evidence suggesting that the risk of DCD is familial, indicating a possible genetic background. However, the study has limitations, such as a low response rate and the inability to diagnose DCD. Overall, the findings support the emerging evidence of a familial predisposition to DCD.

Aim: To evaluate whether infants with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) have an increased risk of impaired quality of motor behavior and delayed motor milestones. Method: A cohort of 69 infants with CCHD (43 males, 26 females) were assessed with the Infant Motor Profile (IMP) at three time periods between 6 to 18 months, mean ages in months (SD): 6.4 (0.7); 12.7 (1.0); 18.5 (0.7) IMP data were available from a reference sample of 300 Dutch infants. Analyses included multivariable logistic regression analysis to estimate differences in IMP scores below the 15th centile between children with CCHD and the reference group, and linear mixed‐effects models to assess the effect of ventricular physiology and systemic oxygen saturation (SpO2) of less than 90% on IMP outcomes. Results: Infants with CCHD had increased risks of total IMP scores below the 15th centile (lowest odds ratio [OR] at 18mo: 6.82 [95% confidence interval {CI} 2.87–16.19]), especially because of lower scores in the domains of variation, adaptability, and performance. Children with single ventricle CCHD scored consistently 3.03% (95% CI 1.00–5.07) lower than those with two ventricle physiology, mainly from contributions of the variation and performance domains. SpO2 of less than 90% was associated with 2.52% (95% CI 0.49–4.54) lower IMP scores. Interpretation: CCHD, especially single ventricle physiology, increases risk of impaired motor development. What this paper adds: Complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) substantially increases risk of impaired motor development.CCHD is associated with motor delay and reduced motor variation and adaptability.Single ventricle physiology increases the risk of impaired motor behavior.

Prior to the launch of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, childhood disability was rarely considered an important subject in global health. The SDGs till 2030 now require that children under 5 years who are at risk of not benefitting from inclusive quality education are identified, monitored, and promptly supported. A new tool for identifying children who are not developmentally on track has been developed by UNICEF but has limited sensitivity for detecting children with disabilities due to reliance on parental assessment of child behavior in certain everyday situations. In this paper, we identified conditions that are commonly associated with developmental disabilities based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes and clarified the concept of "developmentally on track" as it relates to children with developmental disabilities and developmental delays. We summarized the latest evidence on the global burden of developmental disabilities in children under 5 years based on the diagnostic and functional approaches for measuring disabilities at the population level. We highlighted the global health context for addressing the needs of children with developmental disabilities and provided an overview of the opportunities and the role of pediatric caregivers in supporting children with developmental disabilities.

Introduction: The IMP is a novel video-based instrument to assess motor behavior of infants. It evaluates gross and fine motor behavior in five domains: variation, adaptability, symmetry, fluency, and performance. The latter assesses motor milestones, the other four domains assess qualitative aspects of movements. Literature suggests that it is a promising tool for pediatric health care, as its assists early detection of neurodevelopmental disorders and facilitates the design and monitoring of early intervention. This, this scoping review (ScR) aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Infant Motor Profile (IMP). Material and methods: A systematic search will be conducted to identify relevant studies up to October 15, 2022. All papers published in English that evaluated or used the IMP in children under two years of age will be included. The search will be performed in Pubmed, Lilacs, PEDro, Scielo, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, Ovid PsycINFO, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, as well as in gray literature sources following the University of Toronto library guidelines. Standardized data extraction forms (Excel Tables) will be used to collect information. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for the Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist and JBI guidelines will be taken into consideration for results analysis and reporting. Discussion: This Scoping Review will summarize available knowledge on the psychometric properties of the IMP. By proving that IMP is a reliable tool, a valid predictor of neurodevelopmental outcomes and a responsive instrument to measure change induced by early intervention, this will facilitate the implementation of the IMP in pediatric health care. It will assist the detection of infants at high risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, and it will facilitate the design of the tailor-made early intervention. Scoping review protocol registration: This scoping review protocol has been registered at Open Science Framework (OSF) (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/4HYKZ). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

11. Emerging signs of autism spectrum disorder in infancy: Putative neural substrate.

Hadders-Algra, Mijna
- Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by altered development of the social brain with prominent atypical features in the fronto-temporo-parietal cortex and cerebellum. Early signs of ASD emerge between 6 and 12 months: reduced social communication, slightly less advanced motor development, and repetitive behaviour. The fronto-temporo-parietal cortex and cerebellum play a prominent role in the development of social communication, whereas fronto-parietal-cerebellar networks are involved in the planning of movements, that is, movement selection. Atypical sensory responsivity, a core feature of ASD, may result in impaired development of social communication and motor skills and/or selection of atypical repetitive behaviour. In the first postnatal year, the brain areas involved are characterized by gradual dissolution of temporary structures: the fronto-temporo-parietal cortical subplate and cerebellar external granular layer. It is hypothesized that altered dissolution of the transient structures opens the window for the expression of early signs of ASD arising in the impaired developing permanent networks. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: The early social and motor signs of autism spectrum disorder emerge between the ages of 6 and 12 months. Altered dissolution of transient brain structures in the fronto-temporo-parietal cortex and cerebellum may underlie the emergence of these early signs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: (1) To systematically review the literature on developmental outcomes from infancy to adolescence of children with complex congenital heart disease (CHD) who underwent early surgery; (2) to run a meta-regression analysis on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Second Edition Mental Developmental Index and Psychomotor Developmental Index (PDI) of infants up to 24 months and IQs of preschool-aged children to adolescents; (3) to assess associations between perioperative risk factors and outcomes.Method: We searched pertinent literature (January 1990 to January 2019) in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Selection criteria included infants with complex CHD who had primary surgery within the first 9 weeks of life. Methodological quality, including risk of bias and internal validity, were assessed.Results: In total, 185 papers met the inclusion criteria; the 100 with high to moderate methodological quality were analysed in detail. Substantial heterogeneity in the group with CHD and in methodology existed. The outcome of infants with single-ventricle CHD was inferior to those with two-ventricle CHD (respectively: average scores for PDI 77 and 88; intelligence scores 92 and 98). Perioperative risk factors were inconsistently associated with developmental outcomes.Interpretation: The literature on children undergoing surgery in early infancy suggests that infants with a single ventricle are at highest risk of adverse developmental outcomes.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of atypical general movements (GMs) in the general population, to examine its time trend and associated factors.Methods: Participants consisted of 300 infants born in 2016-2018 (current cohort; gestational age 39.4 weeks (27-42); 162 boys), representative of the Dutch population. GMs were assessed at 2-4 months corrected age in terms of GM-complexity (definitely abnormal (DA) or not) and fidgety movements (present or absent). GM-complexity data from a cohort of 455 Dutch infants born in 2001-2002 were used to investigate the time trend.Results: In the current cohort, 10 infants (3%) showed DA GM-complexity and 8 (3%) absent fidgety movements. Only one infant had both GM-impairments (0.3%). The prevalence of DA GM-complexity did not differ from that in the 2001-2002 cohort (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.47 [0.53, 4.06]). DA GM-complexity was associated with maternal smoking (adjusted OR = 3.59 [1.56, 8.28]) and marginally with prematurity (adjusted OR = 2.78 [1.00, 7.74]); absence of fidgety movements was curvilinearly associated with assessment age only (OR = 1.06 [1.01, 1.12]).Conclusion: In the general population, the prevalence of DA GM-complexity and absent fidgety movements is 3%. The finding that they rarely co-occur and are associated with different factors indicates that GM-assessment needs to address both aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aim: To evaluate the associations between motor development in infancy and developmental outcomes at school age.Method: Participants were 195 children (99 males, 96 females; mean age [SD] 9y 3mo [3mo], range 8y 4mo-10y 11mo) born to couples whose reduced fertility was or was not treated with assisted reproductive technologies. Motor behaviour was assessed at 4, 10, and 18 months with the Infant Motor Profile (IMP). IQ, neurological optimality score (NOS), and behavioural problem scores were measured at 9 years with the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence, minor neurological dysfunction assessment, and the Child Behavior Checklist respectively.Results: Children with a slow developmental trajectory in the IMP-domain adaptability had an IQ 12.6 points lower (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.7-20.4) and an NOS 3.4 points lower (95% CI 0.7-6.2) at 9 years of age than children with typical adaptability development. Children with a slow developmental trajectory in the IMP-domain performance had an IQ 5.0 points lower (95% CI 0.7-9.3) than children with typical performance development. A non-optimal trajectory in IMP-variation and a fluctuating trajectory in IMP-fluency were associated with higher internalizing scores of 3.6 and 5.8 points respectively, than infants with optimal IMP-domain trajectories.Interpretation: In relatively low-risk children, motor behaviour in infancy was associated with neurological, cognitive, and behavioural function at school age.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of prevailing head position to one side (PHP) in young infants and to evaluate its associations with reaching performance, neurological condition and perinatal and socio-economic factors.Methods: Observational study in 500 infants (273 boys) 2-6 months corrected age, representative of the Dutch population (median gestational age 39.7 weeks (27-42); birthweight 3438 g (1120-4950). Prevailing head position to one side and reaching performance were assessed with the Infant Motor Profile; neurological condition with the Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment. Socio-economic information and perinatal information were obtained by questionnaire and medical records. Associations were analysed with uni- and multivariable statistics.Results: Prevailing head position to one side was observed in 100 infants (20%), and its prevalence decreased from 49% at 2 months to 0% at 6 months. Only in infants aged 4-5 months PHP was significantly associated with worse reaching and an at-risk neurological score. Prevailing head position to one side was weakly associated with prenatal substance exposure, post-natal admission to a paediatric ward and paternal native Dutch background.Conclusion: Prevailing head position to one side at 2-3 months is a frequently occurring sign with limited clinical significance. Yet, PHP at 4-5 months is associated with a worse functional and neurological condition. Therefore, PHP at 4-5 months could serve as a red flag indicating possible challenges in later development.

Aim: To assess the reliability and predictive validity of the developmental and socio-emotional scales of the Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment (SINDA).Method: To assess reliability, two sets of three assessors forming eight assessor-pairs independently rated the developmental and socio-emotional scales of 60 infants. To evaluate predictive validity, 223 infants (gestational age 30wks [range 23-41wks]; 117 males, 106 females) attending a non-academic outpatient clinic were assessed by different assessors with SINDA's neurological, developmental, and socio-emotional scales. Atypical neurodevelopmental outcome at a corrected age of 24 months or older implied a Bayley Mental or Psychomotor Developmental Index score of less than 70 or neurological disorder (including cerebral palsy). Behavioural and emotional disorders were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. Predictive values were calculated from SINDA (2-12mo corrected age, median 7mo) and typical versus atypical outcome, and for intellectual disability only (Mental Developmental Index <70).Results: Assessors highly agreed on the developmental and socio-emotional assessments (developmental scores: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient ρ=0.972; single socio-emotional behaviour items: Cohen's κ=0.783-0.896). At 24 months or older, 65 children had atypical outcome. Atypical neurological scores predicted atypical outcome (sensitivity 83%, specificity 96%); atypical developmental scores predicted intellectual disability (sensitivity 77%, specificity 92%). Atypical emotionality and atypical self-regulation were associated with behavioural and emotional disorders.Interpretation: SINDA's three scales are reliable, and have a satisfactory predictive validity for atypical developmental outcome at 24 months or older in a non-academic outpatient setting. SINDA's developmental scale has promising predictive validity for intellectual disability. SINDA's socio-emotional scale is a tool for caregiver counselling.What This Paper Adds: Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment (SINDA)'s developmental and socio-emotional scales have excellent interrater reliability. Replication of the satisfactory validity of SINDA's neurological scale for atypical outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

LEARNING ,ADULT learning ,REHABILITATION ,FOSTER parents ,KNOWLEDGE acquisition (Expert systems) - Abstract
Currently, coaching is increasingly applied to foster the involvement of families with an infant or young child with special needs in early intervention and paediatric rehabilitation. Coaching practices are included in many forms of intervention and are regarded as essential to reach beneficial outcomes for the child and family. There are, however, many ambiguities that blur the concept of coaching and hamper its understanding and integration as an evidence-based approach in early intervention and paediatric rehabilitation: lack of differentiation between coaching and training of families, for example. Challenges to incorporate coaching into professional practice relate to adult learning processes and knowledge acquisition, and transformation of attitudes, beliefs, and treatment habits. In this paper, we review the barriers encountered and the possibilities available to promote successful implementation of coaching in early childhood interventions. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Literature defines coaching ambiguously, which hampers its implementation in early intervention. The term 'coaching' should be reserved for relationship-directed, family-centred intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: To perform a scoping literature review of associations between risk factors in early life and developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Method: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science (January 1994–March 2019) were searched to identify studies on early risk factors and motor impairment or DCD. The effect of single and multiple risk factors was assessed. Level of evidence was evaluated following the Centre for Evidence‐Based Medicine guidelines. Meta‐analysis on the effect of preterm birth was performed. Results: Thirty‐six studies fulfilled inclusion criteria; 35 had evidence level 3, one had level 4. Highest evidence was available that preterm birth and male sex in term‐born children were associated with DCD. The odds ratio of preterm birth was 2.02 (95% confidence interval: 1.43–2.85). Low to moderate evidence was available that parental subfertility, maternal smoking during pregnancy, postnatal corticosteroid treatment in infants born preterm, extra corporeal membrane oxygenation, retinopathy of prematurity, abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging scans at term age, and accumulating perinatal or neonatal risk factors were associated with motor impairment. Interpretation: Limited information on early risk factors of DCD is available. Only preterm birth and male sex were consistently associated with an increased risk of DCD. What this paper adds: Preterm birth is a risk factor for developmental coordination disorder (DCD).In term‐born children, male sex was consistently associated with DCD.Risk factors for DCD are similar to risk factors for cerebral palsy.

Aim: We compared the impact of standard infant physiotherapy and the family‐centred programme, Coping with and Caring for Infants with Special Needs (COPCA), in infants born before 32 weeks without significant brain lesions. Methods: This randomised controlled trial was carried out in patients' homes and outpatient settings in Switzerland between January 2016 and October 2019. We used data from the national SwissNeoNet register and an assessment battery that included infant and family outcomes and video analyses of therapy sessions. The Infant Motor Profile was the primary outcome instrument. Results: The COPCA group comprised six boys and two girls with a median gestational age of 27 weeks (range 25‐30), and the standard care group comprised seven boys and one girl with a median gestational age of 29.5 weeks (range 26‐31). COPCA participants improved significantly more between baseline and 18 months in the IMP variation (9.0 percentage points, 95% confidence interval: 0.3‐17.5) and performance (12.0 percentage points, 95% confidence interval: 4.1‐20.6) domains than standard care participants. COPCA coaching was positively associated with IMP scores at 18 months, but some standard care actions were negatively associated. Conclusion: COPCA was associated with better motor outcome in infants born before 32 weeks than standard infant physiotherapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CEREBRAL palsy ,INFANTS - Abstract
Aim: General movements' assessment (GMA), based on Gestalt perception, identifies infants at risk of cerebral palsy. However, the requirement of ample experience to construct the assessor's inner criteria for abnormal movement hampers its widespread clinical use. This study aims to describe details of general movements (GMs) in various body parts and to investigate their association with GMA‐Gestalt. Methods: Participants were 24 typically developing infants and 22 very‐high‐risk infants. GMs were assessed during the writhing (0‐8 weeks) and/or fidgety GM phase (2‐5 months) by GMA‐Gestalt and a semi‐quantification of the duration of simple movements and complex movements in various body parts. Results: During both GM phases, the quality of movement often varied within a single assessment, but the degree of complexity and variation of movements in trunk, arms and legs were interrelated (ρ = 0.32‐0.84). Longer durations of complex movements in arms and legs (P <.042) were further associated with a better quality in GMA‐Gestalt. Head movement was associated with movements in other body parts only in the writhing phase and not associated with GMA‐Gestalt during both GM phases. Conclusion: Infants did not show consistently over time and across body parts simple or complex movements. Detailed description of movement characteristics may facilitate the development of computer‐based GMA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Evidence for efficacy of early intervention in infants at high risk of cerebral palsy (CP) is limited. We compared outcome of infants at very high risk of CP after receiving the family centered program COPing with and CAring for infants with special needs (COPCA) or typical infant physiotherapy. Materials and methods: Forty-three infants were randomly assigned before the corrected age of 9 months to 1 year of COPCA (n = 23) or typical infant physiotherapy (n = 20). Neuromotor development, cognition, and behavior was assessed until 21 months corrected age. Video-recorded physiotherapy sessions were quantitatively analyzed for further process analyses. Outcome was evaluated with nonparametric tests and linear mixed effect models. Results: During and after the interventions, infant outcome in both intervention groups was similar [primary outcome Infant Motor Profile: COPCA 82 (69–94), typical infant physiotherapy 81 (69–89); Hodges Lehman estimate of the difference 0 (confidence interval −5;4)]. Outcome was not associated with contents of intervention. Conclusions: One year of COPCA and 1 year of typical infant physiotherapy in infants at high risk of CP resulted in similar neurodevelopmental outcomes. It is conceivable that combinations of active ingredients from different approaches are needed for effective early intervention. For infants at very high risk of cerebral palsy, 1 year of intervention with the family-centred programme Coping with and Caring for infants with special needs resulted in similar infant outcome as 1 year of typical infant physiotherapy. Infant's neuromotor, cognitive, and behavioural outcome was not associated with specific interventional elements, implying that the various elements may have a similar effect on developmental outcome. We suggest that a specific mix of ingredients of different approaches may work best, resulting in comprehensive care including both infant and family needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: To compare family and functional outcome in infants at very high risk of cerebral palsy, after receiving the family centred programme "Coping with and Caring for infants with special needs (COPCA)" or typical infant physiotherapy. Materials and methods: Forty-three infants at very high risk were included before 9 months corrected age and randomly assigned to one year COPCA (n = 23) or typical infant physiotherapy (n = 20). Family and infant outcome were assessed before and during the intervention. Physiotherapy intervention sessions were analysed quantitatively for process analysis. Outcome was evaluated with non-parametric tests and linear mixed-effect models. Results: Between-group comparisons revealed no differences in family and infant outcomes. Within-group analysis showed that family's quality of life improved over time in the COPCA-group. Family empowerment was positively associated with intervention elements, including "caregiver coaching." Conclusions: One year of COPCA or typical infant physiotherapy resulted in similar family and functional outcomes. Yet, specific intervention elements, e.g., coaching, may increase empowerment of families of very high risk infants and may influence quality of life, which emphasizes the importance of family centred services. One year of the family centred programme "Coping with and a Caring for infants with special needs" compared with typical infant physiotherapy resulted in similar family outcome and similar functional outcome for the infants at very high risk for cerebral palsy. Specific contents of intervention, such as caregiver coaching, are associated with more family empowerment and increased quality of life. Emphasis on family needs is important in early intervention for infants at very high risk for cerebral palsy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To explore intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the Infant Motor Profile (IMP). The IMP is a video-based method assessing movement quality (movement variation, adaptability, symmetry and fluency) and motor skills in infants aged 3 to 18 months. The IMP assessment was performed on 50 infants aged 3 to 12 months recruited in connection with health control in primary health care, mean gestational age at birth 39.4 weeks, mean birthweight 3462 g. Seven infants had a moderately increased risk of developmental disorders. Three pediatric physiotherapists performed independent rating of the video recordings. One rater assessed the video recordings twice with a four-week interval. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for intra-rater reliability was found satisfactory for the total IMP score (ICC = 0.95), and the domains: performance (ICC = 0.98), variation (ICC = 0.74), adaptability (ICC = 0.93) and fluency (ICC = 0.86). The ICC value for symmetry was 0.65. For inter-rater reliability, ICC values were satisfactory for the total IMP score (ICC = 0.86-0.91), and the domains: performance (ICC = 0.98), variation (ICC = 0.71-0.82), adaptability (ICC = 0.99) and fluency (ICC = 0.82-0.81). The ICC values for symmetry varied between 0.13-0.35. In this sample, including mostly low-risk infants, satisfactory intra- and inter-rater reliability for all domains were demonstrated, except for symmetry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To evaluate whether frequent interactive tablet-use at preschool age is associated with improved fine motor skills and to describe tablet-use in young children. Cross-sectional study with 78 children, aged 24-42 months: group 1 with previous frequent tablet-use exposure (n = 26), group 2 without previous tablet-use exposure (n = 52). Fine motor skills were evaluated with the Bayley-III. Socioeconomic data and home environment quality were similar in both groups. Fine motor skills of group 1 were better than those of group 2 (p = 0.013). Most participating children carried out passive and active tablet activities, usually accompanied by parents, not exceeding time recommendations for young age. We observed a difference in fine motor skills in young children slightly favoring those with tablet-use experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Caregivers' experiences during early intervention of their infant with special needs have consequences for their participation in the intervention. Hence, it is vital to understand caregivers' view. This study explored caregivers' experiences with the family‐centred early intervention programme "COPing with and CAring for infants with special needs" (COPCA). Methods: The data of this qualitative study were collected after 6 months of COPCA intervention in 15 families with an infant with special needs. COPCA was delivered by paediatric physiotherapists in training to become COPCA coaches. Caregivers filled out a study‐specific questionnaire with three open‐ended questions addressing (a) their overall experience with COPCA, (b) what aspects of COPCA they had experienced as important, and (c) what they had learned during the intervention process. The answers were analysed using a content analyses approach. Results: Respondents were mothers. Interrater reliability of the content analyses of the three questions was twice excellent (κ =.95 and κ =.92) and once good (κ =.77). The content analysis of the first question resulted in four categories and three subcategories, for example, evaluation of COPCA as a form of intervention and benefit from COPCA. The content analyses of the second question resulted in eight categories, for example, home‐based intervention, support from the therapist, and the attainment of competences. The content analyses of the third question generated seven categories and four subcategories, for example, to support the infant autonomously at home and to recognize the competences of the infant, caregiver confidence, and relationship with the infant. Conclusions: The participating mothers appreciated the COPCA early intervention programme. They especially valued its home‐based setting, the support from the coach, and the experience being able to participate as active partners in the intervention make their own decisions. This means that the mothers valued the family‐centred, ecological, and relationship‐based elements of early intervention that currently are recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Asthma is a chronic reversible obstructive airway disease, which is common among children and leads to respiratory impairment. Studies showed that asthma is more common among children born after in vitro fertilization (IVF) than among spontaneously conceived children. However, it is unknown which component of the IVF procedure contributes to this putative link. Therefore, the aim of this prospective follow-up study was to differentiate the possible effect of ovarian hyperstimulation from that of the in vitro culture procedure on asthma and rhinitis in 9-year-old children conceived with IVF. The study comprised three groups of singletons: (I) conceived with ovarian hyperstimulation-IVF (COH-IVF, n = 95); (II) conceived with modified natural cycle-IVF (MNC-IVF, n = 48); and (III) naturally conceived to subfertile couples (Sub-NC, n = 68). Parents filled out the validated Dutch version of the asthma questionnaire of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies. Asthma prevalence in the groups did not differ: COH-IVF n = 8 (8%); MNC-IVF n = 0 (0%); and Sub-NC n = 4 (6%). Adjustment for confounders did not alter the results.Conclusion: Neither ovarian hyperstimulation nor the in vitro culture procedure was associated with asthma and rhinitis at 9 years. IVF children had a similar prevalence of asthma compared with children conceived naturally by subfertile couples.Trial registration: ISRCTN76355836 What is Known: • An increased risk for asthma has been observed in children born after in vitro fertilization at preschool and school age. • The association between IVF and asthma may be partly explained by parental subfertility. What is New: • IVF children do not have a higher prevalence of asthma than children of subfertile couples conceived naturally. • Ovarian hyperstimulation used in IVF is not associated with asthma in 9-year-old children of subfertile couples.

Aim: First, to systematically review the evidence on the effect of intervention applied during the first postnatal year in infants with or at very high risk of cerebral palsy (CP) on child and family outcome. Second, to assess whether type and dosing of intervention modify the effect of intervention.Method: Relevant literature was identified by searching the PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL databases. Selection criteria included infants younger than 12 months corrected age with or at very high risk of CP. Methodological quality including risk of bias was scrutinized.Results: Thirteen papers met the inclusion criteria. Seven studies with moderate to high methodological quality were analysed in detail; they evaluated neurodevelopmental treatment only (n=2), multisensory stimulation (n=1), developmental stimulation (n=2), and multifaceted interventions consisting of a mix of developmental stimulation, support of parent-infant interaction, and neurodevelopmental treatment (n=2). The heterogeneity precluded conclusions. Yet, two suggestions emerged: (1) dosing may be critical for effectiveness; (2) multifaceted intervention may offer best opportunities for child and family.Interpretation: The literature on early intervention in very high-risk infants with sufficient methodological quality is limited, heterogeneous, and provides weak evidence on the effect. More studies are urgently needed. Suggestions for future research are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Coaching is en vogue in pediatric physiotherapy, but often applied rather unspecific and undefined. Methods: This paper aims to describe coaching in early physiotherapy intervention, taking the specific coaching approach of the family-centered program "COPing with and CAring for infants with special needs" (COPCA) as a case in point. Results: The theoretical underpinnings of coaching in COPCA, including a meta-model, family-centered practice, the Neuronal Group Selection Theory and the goal-oriented coaching approach, are discussed. Next, the translation of theory into practical ingredients for coaching of families of a child with special needs is presented. The latter includes the appreciation of family autonomy and attitudes, and the creativity to ask specific questions to support the families in making their own decisions to promote their child's development during daily care-giving routines. Conclusion: It is concluded that the approach of coaching is demanding for both families and pediatric physiotherapists. It requires an active role of the family members in the intervention process and for therapists that they incorporate the attitude of a coach that largely differs from the attitude of the traditional therapist. For families and pediatric physiotherapists appreciating these changes in attitude, COPCA's coaching offers a promising form of early intervention. We recommend the implementation of the promising approach of goal-oriented and solution-focused coaching in pediatric rehabilitation and/or early intervention. We recommend applying coaching methods that are based on explicit theoretical background and clinical knowledge. We recommend formal training in coaching before professionals apply coaching in pediatric rehabilitation and/or early intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aims: The aim of our observational longitudinal study is to evaluate changes over time in standard pediatric physical therapy (PPT) for infants at risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Methods: Treatment sessions in two time periods (2003-2005 [n = 22] and 2008-2014 [n = 16]) were video recorded and analyzed quantitatively in five categories: neuromotor actions, educational actions, communication, position, and situation of treatment session. Differences in percentages of time spent on therapeutic actions between periods were tested with Mann-Whitney U and Hodges Lehmann's tests. Results: No significant changes appeared in the main categories of neuromotor actions. Time spent on not-specified educational actions toward caregivers (median from 99% to 81%, p =.042) and not-specified communication (median from 72% to 52%, p =.002) decreased. Consequently, time spent on specific educational actions (caregiver training and coaching; median from 1% to 19%, p =.042) and specific communication (information exchange, instruct, provide feedback; median from 21% to 38%, p =.007) increased. Infant position changed only minimally: time spent on transitions—that is, change of position—decreased slightly over time (median from 7% to 6%, p =.042). Situation of treatment session did not change significantly over time. Conclusions: Neuromotor actions in PPT remained largely stable over time. Specific educational actions and communication increased, indicating larger family involvement during treatment sessions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Study Question: Does Day-3 cleavage-stage PGS affect neurodevelopment of 9-year-old IVF offspring?Summary Answer: We did not find evidence of adverse consequences of Day-3 cleavage-stage PGS on neurodevelopment of 9-year-old IVF offspring, although children born after IVF with or without PGS often had a non-optimal neurological condition.What Is Known Already: Knowledge on long-term sequelae for development and health of children born following PGS is lacking. This is striking as evidence accumulates that IVF itself is associated with increased risk for impaired health and development in the offspring.Study Design Size, Duration: This prospective, assessor-blinded, multicentre, follow-up study evaluated development and health of 9-year-old IVF children born to women who were randomly assigned to IVF with PGS (PGS group) or without PGS (control group). The follow-up examination at 9 years took place between March 2014 and May 2016.Participants/materials, Setting, Methods: In total, 408 women were included and randomly assigned to IVF with or without Day-3 cleavage-stage PGS. This resulted in 52 ongoing pregnancies in the PGS group and 74 in the control group. In the PGS group, 59 children were born alive; in the control group, 85 children were born alive. At the age of 9 years, 43 children born after PGS and 56 control children participated in the study. Our primary outcome was the neurological optimality score, a sensitive measure of neurological condition assessed with a standardized, age-specific test (Touwen test). Secondary outcomes were adverse neurological condition (neurologically abnormal and the complex form of minor neurological dysfunction), cognitive development (intelligence quotient and specific domains), behaviour (parental and teacher's questionnaires), blood pressure and anthropometrics.Main Results and the Role Of Chance: Neurodevelopmental outcome of PGS children did not differ from that of controls; the neurological optimality scores (mean values [(95% CI]: PGS children 51.5 [49.3; 53.7], control children 53.1 [50.5; 55.7]) were not significantly different. The prevalences of adverse neurological outcome (in all but one child implying the presence of the complex form of minor neurological dysfunction) did not differ between the groups (PGS group 17/43 [40%], control group 19/56 [34%]), although the prevalence of complex minor neurological dysfunction in both groups was rather high. Also intelligence quotient scores of the two groups were not significantly different (PGS group 114 [108; 120]); control group 117 [109; 125]), and the behaviour, blood pressure and anthropometrics of both groups did not differ. Mean blood pressures of both groups were above the 60th percentile.Limitations Reasons For Caution: The power analysis of the study was not based on the number of children needed for the follow-up study, but on the number of women who were needed to detect an increase in ongoing pregnancy rates after PGS. In addition, our study evaluated embryo biopsy in the form of PGS at cleavage stage (Day-3 embryo biopsy), while currently PGS at blastocyst stage (Day-5 embryo biopsy) is recommended and increasingly being used.Wider Implications Of the Findings: Our findings indicate that PGS in cleavage stage embryos is not associated with adverse effects on neurological, cognitive and behavioural development, blood pressure and anthropometrics of offspring at 9 years. This is a reassuring finding as embryo biopsy in the forms of PGS and PGD is increasingly applied. However, both groups of IVF offspring showed high prevalences of the clinically relevant form of minor neurological dysfunction, which is a point of concern for the IVF community. In addition, our study confirms findings of others that IVF offspring may be at risk of an unfavourable cardiovascular outcome. These findings are alarming and highlight the importance of research on the underlying mechanisms of unfavourable neurodevelopmental and cardiovascular outcomes in IVF offspring.Study Funding/competing Interest(s): The randomized controlled trial was financially supported by the Organization for Health Research and Development (ZonMw), The Netherlands (Grant number 945-03-013). The follow-up was financially supported by the University Medical Center Groningen (Grant number: 754510), the Cornelia Foundation, and the graduate schools BCN and Share, Groningen, The Netherlands. The sponsors of the study had no role in study design, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation or writing of the report.

Study Question: Are the in vitro procedure, ovarian hyperstimulation or a combination of these two associated with blood pressure (BP) of 9-year-old IVF children born to subfertile couples?Summary Answer: Our study demonstrates that ovarian hyperstimulation and the in vitro procedure are not associated with BP values in 9-year-old children born to subfertile couples.What Is Known Already: Possible long-term effects of IVF on child health and development have been studied relatively little. This is surprising, as it is known that environmental conditions may influence embryonic and foetal development which may result in health related problems in later life. Some studies suggested that IVF is associated with higher BP at pre-school age. Yet, it is unclear whether this may be also true for older children and if so, which component of IVF, i.e. the ovarian hyperstimulation, the embryo culture or a combination of these, attributes to this potentially less favourable BP.Study Design, Size, Duration: The Groningen Assisted Reproductive Technology cohort-study is a prospective assessor-blinded study of children followed from before birth onwards. In total, 170 children were assessed at the age of 9 years. The attrition rate up until the 9-year-old assessment was 21%.Participants/materials, Setting, Methods: We evaluated cardiovascular health, focusing on BP (in mmHg and the internationally recognized percentiles of the US National High BP Education Program), heart rate and anthropometrics of 57 children born following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation-IVF/ICSI (COH-IVF/ICSI); 47 children born after modified natural cycle-IVF/ICSI (MNC-IVF/ICSI); and 66 children who were conceived naturally by subfertile couples (Sub-NC). Cardiovascular parameters were measured multiple times on one day. In addition, anthropometric data, including BMI and skinfold thickness, were collected.Main Results and the Role Of Chance: Systolic BP in mmHg did not differ between the COH-IVF/ICSI (mean 106.9, SD 6.7), MNC-IVF/ICSI (mean 104.8, SD 5.9) and Sub-NC (mean 106.3, SD 5.3) groups. In addition, systolic BP percentiles did not differ between the groups: COH-IVF/ICSI (mean 62.4, SD 20.2); MNC-IVF/ICSI (mean 56.3, SD 19.3); and Sub-NC (mean 62.3, SD17.8). Also, after adjustment for confounders BP in the three groups was similar. Heart rate and anthropometric values in the three groups did not differ. For instance, BMI values in the COH-IVF/ICSI-children were 16.3 (median value, range 13.0-24.7), in MNC-IVF/ICSI-children 16.1 (range 12.7-22.5) and in Sub-NC children 16.3 (range 12.7-24.0).Limitations, Reasons For Caution: The size of our study groups does not allow for pertinent conclusions on the effect of ovarian hyperstimulation and the in vitro procedure. The lack of a fertile control group may be regarded as another limitation.Wider Implications Of the Findings: Our study suggests that ovarian hyperstimulation and in vitro procedures are not associated with cardiovascular health in 9-year-old. Yet, BP percentiles of the three groups were higher than the expected 50th percentile. This might indicate that children of subfertile couples have a higher BP than naturally conceived children.Study Funding/competing Interest(s): The study was financially supported by the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), the two graduate schools of the UMCG, BCN, SHARE and the Cornelia Stichting. The sponsors of the study had no role in study design, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation or writing of the report. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.
