Pediatric Prewriting Stroke Developmental Stages: Are Expectations Evolving beyond the Child's Natural Capabilities?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Faugno, Rebecca S. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
Pediatric developmental assessments from the early 1900s are different from those used more often today. Certain present-day pediatric expectations of fine motor skills, specifically those of pre-writing strokes, appear more advanced when compared to those of the past. In the mid-20th century, child developmentalists described the sequences in…

Emck, Claudia; Bosscher, Ruud J.; van Wieringen, Piet C. W.; Doreleijers, Theo; Beek, Peter J. – Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2011
Aim: Gross motor performance appears to be impaired in children with psychiatric disorders but little is known about which skill domains are affected in each disorder, nor about possible accompanying deficits in physical fitness. The present study has sought to provide information about these issues in children with emotional, behavioural, and…

Kourtessis, Thomas; Tsigilis, Nikolaos; Maheridou, Maria; Ellinoudis, Theodoros; Kiparissis, Michael; Kioumourtzoglou, Efthimis – Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, 2008
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a short intervention program designed to enhance the educators' ability to identify children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Twenty early childhood and 20 physical education teachers (n = 40) participated in the study. Participants were randomly assigned into an…

A Decision-Theoretic Examination of the Usefulness of Two Motor Performance Tests in Identifying Children for Assignment to Adapted Physical Education.
King, Harry A.; Aufsesser, Peter M. – 1984
Data from administration of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency and the Cornish Test of Motor Planning were taken on 120 children (5-13 years old), 60 of whom had been classified learning disabled (LD). Thirty of the LD Ss had been assigned to adapted physical education. The study sought to do two things: (1) determine whether the…

Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fine, Doris Landau – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1979
Three questions are discussed concerning this test: for what population is it appropriate; what is its purpose; and what are the qualifications required for proper administration and interpretation? It is concluded that it is a useful test, but caution is appropriate in answering the three questions. (CTM)

Childhood Motor Performance Traits on the Short Form Bruininks-Oseretsky Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Broadhead, Geoffrey D.; Bruininks, Robert H. – Physical Educator, 1982
This paper describes the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, 14 items that measure motor skill development. The results of a standardization study of nonhandicapped students (5-14 years old) are presented. Uses of the test for evaluating students in need of special education are discussed. (PP)

Hallam, Philippa M.; Williams, John G. – 1987
The purpose of the study was to determine whether particular aspects of movement control influenced the performance of 2-year-old children on a standard developmental test, and thus influenced assessments of intellectual progress based on that test. Six cerebral-palsied (CP) children were compared with six children not suffering motor system…
