Structured observation of motor performance (SOMP-I) applied to neonatally healthy fullterm infants at the ages of 0-10 months.

Abstract:

:A new protocol for structured observation of motor performance in infants, SOMP-I, was applied to 72 neonatally healthy fullterm infants at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 10 months of age. It contains 13 items, formed as ascending scales, consisting of detailed descriptions of motor performance in different body positions and body parts. The observed motor performance is assessed regarding level of development (progress), and degree and type of deviation from the described performance (quality). When observed according to the new protocol, the infants' motor performance corresponded to higher levels of motor development with increasing age and agreed with descriptions in other standardized developmental scales. With age, the motor performance observed was distributed over more levels in the different scales and the number of infants with deviations from the described performance increased in most positions, but decreased in the prone position. The item for the head, at 2 months, showed the largest number of infants with deviations. The total number of deviations in each infant was small. In conclusion, the SOMP-I protocol can describe motor performance in a group of infants who were healthy at birth and is detailed enough to identify differences regarding progress of motor development and quality of motor performance. The assessment is easily performed.
