Affordances in the home environment are critical to early motor development. Currently, the home environment has not been examined in children with deafblindness or severe disabilities. The present study examined differences in, and relationships between, the home environment and motor development in children with and without CHARGE syndrome. CHARGE syndrome is a low-incidence, complex disorder with sensory and motor impairments. Participants included 28 parents of children with CHARGE syndrome and 32 parents of children without disabilities. Children with CHARGE syndrome achieved motor milestones significantly later and had fewer outside space affordances than children without disabilities. Older children had a greater variety of stimulation and fine motor toys, and those that achieved independent walking later had more outside space and fine and gross motor toys. Early experiences may be more important for children with CHARGE syndrome than children without disabilities. Moreover, parents can play a vital role in their children’s motor development to help them reach their motor milestones.

Previous research indicates that the home environment is a significant factor in early child development. The present study examined influence of the multidimensional home environment on young Japanese children’s motor development. A Japanese translation of the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Self Report (AHEMD-SR) was used to assess home motor affordances in 262 families. Motor ability was assessed by parental report using the Enjoji Infant Analytic Developmental Test. We also asked parents to rate their own physical activity in terms of level and years of experience. As results, we found that the home environment in Japan was generally sufficient for children’s motor development and that children’s access to Fine Motor Toys (FMT) and Gross Motor Toys (GMT) had the strongest influence on their development. Analysis also indicated that AHEMD-SR scores were higher for children of parents who had some level of physical activity experience compared to children whose parents indicated no physical activity experience. Parents’ self-reported activity level was correlated with higher scores for the subscales FMT and GMT and for total AHEMD-SR score. These results indicate that both the physical and social-psychological environments (parental experience and views) of the home influenced children’s motor development.

Introduction: The environment in which the child is inserted and motor opportunities offered to this is essential for a good motor development Objective: To analyze the relationship between the motor stimulation opportunities in the family environment and children's motor development of both sex. Method: were evaluated 72 children, 33 boys and 39 girls with age of 38 to 42 months. The evaluation was conducted by Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development (AHEMD) and the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). Were used the tests Chi-square, Fisher exact test, t test for independent samples, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: In general, the households have low opportunities for motor stimulation, and for households with boys the score is higher. The girls performed better in locomotor skills, while boys had higher scores on object control skills. It found a significant correlation to motricity materials and thick materials motor for boys and variety of stimulation, fine motor materials, motricity materials and motor stimulation for girls. For the boys the motor performance is explained by the available variables of fine and gross motor skills and for the girls by materials of motor stimulation, stimulation variety and materials of fine and gross motor skills. Conclusion: On the presented results we can conclude that the home environment is directly related to the motor development of girls and boys.

The first five years of a children’s age is the period of rapid growth with physical and motor development. Those process will develop well if stimulated continuously. Early childhood always identic with high activity requires the opportunity to express their abilities. Therefore playing method is very urgent inchildren’s gross motor skills and fine motor skills development through a variety of playing activities both indoors and outdoors. Playing is an activity that cannot be separated from early childhood’s world. All playing activities will be carried out happily. By the same token learning by playing will be done happily without any sense of being forced or oppressed.

Little is known of how reallocations of time spent in different movement behaviors during preschool might relate to preschoolers’ fundamental movement skills (FMS), a key predictor of later physical activity (PA). Thus, the aim of this study was to examine (a) whether preschoolers’ school-time movement was associated with their FMS and (b) the effects on FMS of reallocating time between PA and sedentary behavior (SB). This was a cross-sectional study, using intervention data with Brazilian low-income preschoolers. We observed Brazilian preschoolers of both sexes ( Mage = 4.5, SD = 0.8 years-old; 101boys) over 10 hours of school-time and objectively assessed their PA and SB with Actigraph wGT3X and their FMS with the Test of Gross Motor Development – Second Edition. We explored the associations between school-time movement behaviors and FMS and between reallocated school-time movement behaviors and FES using compositional analysis in R (version 1.40-1), robCompositions (version 0.92-7), and lmtest (version 0.9-35) packages. This isotemporal reallocation showed that, for manipulative skills, reallocating time (5, 10, and 15 minutes, respectively) from light PA to SB was associated with increasing skill (0.14, 0.28, and 0.42 FMS units), raising questions as to whether fine motor activity occurred during SB. Thus, school-time movement significantly predicted FMS, with a modest increase in SB, at the expense of light PA eliciting improved manipulative skills.

Neuromuscular deficits described in early childhood as motor awkwardness or slow movements are still clinically present in school-aged boys with XXY and XYY sex chromosome aneuploidy. A control group of 14 boys (6 to 19 years of age) and 14 XXY and four XYY boys (6 to 15 years of age), identified by newborn screening, were blindly evaluated by a physical therapist. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) was administered and a clinical rating of neurologic status and sensory-motor integration was assigned. On the motor proficiency test, the XXY boys had significantly lower mean scores for upper limb coordination, speed and dexterity, and on gross motor and battery composites. The neuromuscular status of the aneuploid boys was deficient, with hypotonia, apraxia, primitive reflex retention, and problems with bilateral coordination and visual-perceptual-motor integration. This mild to moderate dysfunctional sensory-motor integration, as well as previously described auditory-processing deficits and dyslexia, contributed to school performance below that expected from their cognitive potential.

ABSTRACTThis research is motivated by difficulties in fine motor skills, problems that occur in group A in Kindergarten IP Assalaam Tasikmalaya City, there are still many children who are less in fine motor development especially in motion skills of both hands, fingers and skill to coordinate the speed or dexterity of hands with eye movements. This is suspected because the learning in the classroom is still monotonous and the teacher still has not used the media, especially for the fine motor development. The purpose of this research is improve the fine motor skills of children through Balok Bergambar media in group A age 4-5 year in kindergarten IP Assalaam City Tasikmalaya. Classroom Action Research (PTK) conducted in collaboration with teachers, implemented 3 cycles using the Kemmis and MC Taggart Model. The subjects of the research were children of A kindergarten IP Assalaam Tasikmalaya City group consisting of 18 people, as many as eight male and 10 female and one teacher as a partner teacher. The object of research is the fine motor ability of the child through Balok Bergambar media. Data collection techniques used observation and documentation, while data analysis techniques using descriptive qualitative. Each cycle consisting of four and stages: planning, implementation stage, observation stage, and reflection stage. The results of the research have shown that the use of Balok Bergambar media can improve the fine motor ability of the child. This is evidenced by the increase in the ability of teachers in planning daily learning, the ability of teachers in the process of implementation of learning by using Balok Bergambar media and the ability to fine motor children aged 4-5 years from each cycle. Can be concluded the Balok Bergambar media can improve the fine motor ability of children aged 4-5 years in kindergarten IP Assalaam Tasikmalaya City. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilatarbelakangi adanya kesulitan dalam kemampuan motorik halus, permasalahan yang terjadi pada kelompok A di TK IP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya, masih banyak anak yang kurang dalam perkembangan motorik halusnya khususnya dalam keterampilan gerak kedua tangan, keterampilan jari jemari dan keterampilan mengkoordinasikan kecepatan atau kecekatan tangan dengan gerakan mata. Hal ini diduga disebabkan karena pembelajaran di kelas masih monoton dan guru masih belum menggunakan media, khususnya untuk perkembangan motorik halusnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak melalui media balok bergambar pada kelompok A usia 4-5 tahun di TKIP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya. Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilakukan bekerjasama dengan guru, dilaksanakan sebanyak 3 siklus dengan menggunakan model Kemmis dan Mc. Taggart. Subjek penelitian adalah anak kelompok A TKIP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya yang terdiri dari 18 orang yaitu sebanyak  delapan orang laki-laki dan 10 orang perempuan dan  satu orang guru sebagai guru mitra.  Objek penelitian adalah kemampuan motorik halus anak melalui media balok bergambar. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi dan dokmentasi, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan deskriptif  kualitatif. Setiap siklus terdiri dari empat tahap yaitu perencanaan, tahap pelaksanaan, tahap observasi, dan tahap refleksi. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilaksanakan menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media balok bergambar dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan adanya peningkatan kemampuan guru dalam  merencanakan pembelajaran harian, kemampuan guru dalam proses pelaksanaan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan media balok bergambar dan kemampuan motork halus anak usia 4-5 tahun dari setiap siklusnya. Maka dapat disimpulkan media balok bergambar dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak usia 4-5 tahun di TKIP Assalaam Kota Tasikmalaya.
