Infants in an orphanage who live in an underprivileged environment show delayed gross motor development; however longitudinal investigations of gross motor development in orphaned infants are limited. This study aimed to assess the variability of gross motor development of orphaned infants using a longitudinal observation. The gross motor…

Low birthweight (LBW) children tend to have higher risks of developmental problems. According to differential susceptibility hypothesis, these putatively vulnerable children may also disproportionately benefit from positive environmental exposure. This study aimed to examine whether LBW status moderates home environmental influences on…

Examined the development of seven infants with "missing milestones" in motor development. Found that three children had normal development, three developed global developmental delay, and one was diagnosed with multiple cavernous haemangiomata in the brain. Suggested that missing milestones can be a benign variation of normal motor…
