Rett syndrome (RS) is characterized by progressive loss of intellectual functioning and fine and gross motor skills as well as development of stereotypic hand movement abnormalities, occurring after 6 to 18 months of normal development. Rett syndrome has been previously reported only in girls, but the possibility of the syndrome existing in male children cannot be currently excluded. Although the syndrome is thought to be relatively common, it was only described in the English literature 5 years ago. There is currently no marker for the syndrome; diagnosis is based on clinical criteria. The newly developed diagnostic criteria for RS are reviewed, with special attention given to the historical aspects of the diagnosis in the prenatal, perinatal, neonatal, and early childhood periods. Rett syndrome is characterized by a predictable, orderly progression of signs and symptoms. Four stages of RS have been described; each stage has special characteristics and offers different diagnostic challenges for the neurologist. Infantile autism is the most common incorrect diagnosis made for children with RS. The simultaneous regression of both motor and language skills, as well as the stereotypic hand movements, hyperventilation, bruxism, and seizures in early childhood are all typical in RS and help distinguish RS from infantile autism.

Gross motoric ability is one aspect of development carried out in early childhood. Kindergarten learning program is a whole unit that is developed through themes and sub-themes in the process of interacting with kindergarten children at learning resources by playing in the game environment or better known as the area or center. The increase in gross motoric skills of kindergarten children is generally carried out outside the classroom with the development of learning programs according to the curriculum that must be developed according to the level of achievement of children from one stage to the next stage through a game. This study aims to improve the Gross Motoric Ability of Early Childhood through Traditional Games in Group B of Silmi Samarinda Islamic Kindergarten. This research was conducted in Group B of TKIslam Silmi Samarinda. The method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR), carried out three times in one cycle with four stages: (1) Planning, (2) actions, (3) observations and (4) reflection. The research subjects were 20 students aged 5-6 years. The research data was obtained from the collection of instruments through observation, field notes and documentation. The results of the study increased the gross motoric skills of children after analyzing the data on four aspects of assessment, namely; jumping, body balance, agility, and flexibility seen these four aspects have different levels of difficulty where the aspects of jumping and body balance as a whole are able to do so, while the aspects of agility and flexibility of most children have a low ability. But the overall gross motor skills of the children in the pre-study reached 64%, the first cycle reached 70%, the second cycle reached 801% and the third cycle 90%. Traditional game method is a very appropriate method applied in increasing gross motor skills of children aged 5-6 years or group B.

Recent theoretical model suggests that motor competence during early childhood is related to one's current and future health status and that practicing sports seems to be playing a special role in creating such competence. This study aimed to compare performance in gross motor skills among preschoolers participating in regular sports practice (SP) and those not participating (NSP), including comparisons by gender. The study uses secondary data from a population-based study of performance regarding the locomotor and object control skills of preschoolers (3 to 5 years old). Preschoolers were assigned to groups SP or NSP, paired by age and sex according to skills: locomotor (n = 54; 30 boys) or object control (n = 37; 17 boys). Analysis of variance showed that the SP group outperformed the NSP one, and there were gender differences only within SP group. Starting to practice sports during early childhood helps to build motor competence and benefits both genders.

It is often heard the differences in opinion that with a lot of physical activity will make a child stupid. This experimental study aimed to determine the effect of kinesthetic-based and contemporary physical activity on early childhood on increasing gross motor skills. Research subjects were 68 children aged 5-6 years, 28 girls and 40 boys, divided into two groups, group A was treated with kinesthetic-based physical activity and group B received contemporary treatment. The instruments used to collect data on gross motor abilities consisted of five types, namely 20 meter sprinting, arm power by throwing a tennis ball, power legs with long jump without the start, balance by walking on a long beam 4 meters, and agility with Illinois tests. The results show that kinesthetic-based physical activity and contemporary-based activities can significantly increase gross motor skills in young children and seen from the difference in the mean effectiveness of kinesthetic-based physical activities is better for improving running ability, agility and balance, while the ability to throw a ball and the ability to jump better physical activity based on contemporary.
