Abstract:
Premature life exposure, meaning an immature central nervous system, presents a significant challenge for the development of postural control and, in turn, overall motor development. Preventing motor delay thus requires identifying, characterizing, and quantifying deficit in postural control as early as possible. In our study, we reviewed the procedures used in past studies to assess postural control among individuals born preterm, specifically the characterization of participants, the instruments and motor tasks involved, the types of data collected and analyzed, and the outcomes. To that end, we performed a literature search on PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, and Scopus using Boolean logic and assessed the quality of the studies with a standardized assessment based on the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Of 35 potential studies, 24 were included; all evaluated infants born preterm, but six did not include a control group of full-term infants. Although the heterogeneity of measurements, variability of instruments, and divergence in motor tasks examined limit definitive conclusions based on quantitative synthesis and the generalization of the results, most studies revealed dysfunctional postural control among individuals born preterm.
摘要:
过早接触生命,意味着一个不成熟的中枢神经系统,对姿势控制的发展提出了重大挑战,反过来,电机整体发展。因此,防止电机延迟需要识别,表征,并尽早量化姿势控制中的缺陷。在我们的研究中,我们回顾了过去研究中用于评估早产个体姿势控制的程序,特别是参与者的特征,所涉及的仪器和运动任务,收集和分析的数据类型,和结果。为此,我们在PubMed上进行了文献检索,Wiley在线图书馆,WebofScience,和Scopus使用布尔逻辑,并根据《加强流行病学指南中的观察研究报告》和《Cochrane干预措施系统评价手册》进行标准化评估,以评估研究质量。在35项潜在研究中,包括24名;所有评估的早产婴儿,但6个不包括足月婴儿的对照组。虽然测量的异质性,仪器的可变性,和运动任务的分歧检查限制了基于定量综合和结果概括的最终结论,大多数研究揭示了早产儿的姿势控制功能失调。
