Aim: To examine the latent structure of the Test of Gross Motor Development, 3rd Edition (TGMD-3) with a bifactor modeling approach. Furthermore, the study examines the dimensionality, model-based reliability of general and specific contributions of the test's subscales and measurement invariance of the TGMD-3. Methods: Using a sample of 496 Iranian children (M age = 7.23±2.03 years; 53.8 female) from the five main geographic regions of Tehran city, three alternative measurement models were tested: (a) a unidimensional model, (b) a correlated 2-factor model, (c) a bifactor model. Results: The totality of results including item loadings, goodness-of-fit indexes and reliability estimates all supported the bifactor model and strong evidence of general fundamental movement factor. Additionally, the reliability of subscale scores was poor, it is thus contended that scoring, reporting and interpreting of the subscales scores are probably not justifiable. Suggesting that the 2 traditionally hypothesized factors are better understood as “grouping” factors rather than as representative of latent constructs. Furthermore, the bifactor model appears invariant for gender. Conclusion: This study is the first to address the bifactor model and new insights regarding the application and interpretation of the test battery most widely used with children.

Physiologic Data

Abstract Although certain speech development milestones are readily observable, the developmental course of speech motor control is largely unknown. However, recent advances in facial motion tracking systems have been used to investigate articulator movements in children and the findings from these studies are being used to further our understanding of the physiologic basis of typical and disordered speech development. Physiologic work has revealed that the emergence of speech is highly dependent on the lack of flexibility in the early oromotor system. It also has been determined that the progression of speech motor development is non-linear, a finding that has motivated researchers to investigate how variables such as oromotor control, cognition, and linguistic factors affect speech development in the form of catalysts and constraints. Physiologic data are also being used to determine if non-speech oromotor behaviors play a role in the development of speech. This improved understanding of the physiology underlying speech, as well as the factors influencing its progression, helps inform our understanding of speech motor control in children with disordered speech and provide a framework for theory-driven therapeutic approaches to treatment.

The article presents a holistic view on neuroosteopathy. It demonstrates the connection between the congenital and the acquired alterations with due regard to the epigenetic aspects of morphogenesis in different periods of the organism’s individual development. On the basis of the analysis of scientific literature and of the clinical osteopathic experience the connection between the child’s motor development and the formation of his nervous system is shown. The article presents a plan of osteopathic treatment of the lesions diagnosed which is based on the analysis of the connection between the motor acts, gestures, positions and congenital reflexes.
