Literature reveals that there are very few validated motor proficiency tests for young children. According to Gallahue and Ozmun, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency is a valid test. However, manipulative skills, which are classified as gross motor skills by most motor development specialists, are only tested in the Upper Limb…

McKenzie, Thomas L.; Lounsbery, Monica A. F. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2013
The health benefits of physical activity are well documented, and the important role that schools and physical education (PE) can play in reducing sedentary behavior and contributing to population health has been identified. Although effective teaching is ultimately judged by student achievement, a major component of teacher and school…

Stark, Timothy W.; Tvoric, Bojan; Walker, Bruce; Noonan, Dom; Sibla, Janeene – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2009
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential for improving hockey players' performance using a weighted implement on the ice. Forty-eight players were tested using a grip strength dynamometer. They also were assessed on their abilities to stick-handle. The participants were randomly placed into a control or research group. The…

The concurrent validity of the New Zealand Ministry of Education's Health and Physical Education Assessment (HPEA) (Crooks & Flockton, 1999) was examined with the respective items from the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Henderson & Sugden, 2000) and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (Bruininks, 1978) on manual…

Guess, Doug; And Others – 1981
The second of a three volume report on a University of Kansas approach to developing quantitative measures of motor and perceptual motor functioning in nonhandicapped and severely/multiply handicapped infants and young children presents interobserver reliability results from the measures described in volume 1. Some studies also include a limited…

Tieman, Beth L.; Palisano, Robert J.; Sutlive, Ann C. – Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 2005
The process of identification of children with delays or disorders in motor development includes developmental screening, examination, and reexamination. Throughout this process, various types of measures are used, including discriminative and evaluative measures. Discriminative and evaluative measures of motor development and function that are…

Guess, Doug; And Others – 1980
The first of a three volume report on a project to develop and apply quantitative procedures to measure motor and sensory/motor growth in nonhandicapped and severely/multiply handicapped children presents 17 papers delineating ways to measure motor function. The following motoric functions are considered: visual fixation, visual tracking, visual…

Peer reviewedDiRocco, Patrick; Roberton, Mary Ann – Physical Educator, 1981
Teaching implications for the instruction of mentally retarded persons in the skill of overarm throwing are provided. A sequence is described that allows instructors to observe both body part actions (components) and whole body patterns (profiles), which makes it amenable to the task analysis approach. (JN)

Peer reviewedCase-Smith, Jane – Infants and Young Children, 1996
Four tenets of dynamic systems theory related to motor development in infants are identified: coupling of perception and action; development of adaptable and functional movement synergies; phase shifts in which new movement patterns are explored and selected; and identification of the constraining and facilitating forces of motor development. Four…

Peer reviewedGreenwood, Charles R.; Luze, Gayle J.; Cline, Gabriel; Kuntz, Susan; Leitschuh, Carol – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2002
The development of an experimental measure for assessing growth in movement in children (ages birth-3) is described. Results from the use of the Movement General Outcome Measurement with 29 infants and toddlers demonstrated the feasibility of the measure. The 6-minute assessment was found reliable in terms of inter-observer agreement. (Contains…
