Correlação da aquisição dos marcos motores com o peso ao nascimento, idade cronológica e corrigida de prematuros

Abstract

The present study aims to correlate the acquisition of motor frames with birth weight, corrected and chronological age before and after physiotherapeutic intervention. A study was carried out with 4 female infants, with ages between 7 and 10 months with diagnosis of prematurity without further complications. First the personal data of each participant were collected, as well as information such as birth weight, vital signs and height. An assessment was started with the AIMS scale, where the four members were then divided into two groups for intervention. In group 1, there were daily visits and in group 2 there were visits 3 times a week. Both totalizing 24 sessions, constituted of 50 minutes of intervention. At the end of all 24 sessions, the AIMS scale was reapplied. As a result, statistically it was found that when correlating the corrected and chronological age, birth weight and percentage of points obtained in the AIMS scale before and after therapy, there was only a significant difference between the percentage of AIMS score and corrected age after intervention (p = 0.04), confirming that younger children developed better in relation to motor skills gain.
