Developmental Changes in Associated Movements

Connolly, Kevin, Stratton, Peter·1968·Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology

Abstract

SUMMARY: Four tests of associated movement—modified version of Zazzo's finger‐lifting test, the Fogs' clip‐pinching test, the feet‐to‐hands test and a new finger‐spreading test—were given to 658 normal children whose age ranged from 4 years 9 months to 15 years 8 months. The incidence of associated movements shows marked changes with age. The various tests are maximally sensitive at different stages in development as follows: clip‐pinching 5–13 years, feet‐to‐hands 8–13 years, finger‐spreading 10 years to beyond the age range studied, finger‐lifting from 5 onwards depending on the finger examined. The correlations between the tests were all positive and largely significant, indicating some common factor underlying the different kinds of performance which were examined. RÉSUMÉ: On a essayé sur 658 enfants normaux dont les âges variaient de 4 ans 9 mois à 15 ans 8 mois. les quatre tests de mouvement associé suivants: une version modifiée du test d'élévation des doigts de Zazzo, le pieds à mains, et un nouveau test d'écartement des doigts. L'incidence des mouvements associés change de façon évidente avec l'âge. Les différents tests atteignent leur maximum de sensibilitéà des stades différents du développement de la manière suivante: test de Fogs 5–13 ans; pieds à mains 8–13 ans; écartement des doigts de 10 ans jusqu'après l'âge étudié; élévation des doigts, à partir de 5 ans et variable doigt examiné. Les corrélations entre les tests étaient toutes positives et très significatives, selon le indiquant l'existence d'un facteur commun à la base des différentes sortes de examinées. RESUMEN: Se administraron cuatro tests de movimientos asociados a 658 niños sanos de 4 años y 9 meses hasta 15 años y 8 meses. Estos tests comprendían: una versión modificada del test de Zazzo de levantar un dedo, el test de Fogs de apretar una pinza, tests ‘pies a manos’, y un nuevo test de extender y separar los dedos. La frecuencia de movimientos asociados cambia mucho a medida que el niño agrandece. Cada test tiene una sensitividad máxima durante una fase distinta del desarrollo, a saber: el de apretar una pinza de 5 a 13 años, ‘pies a manos’ de 8 a 13 años, separación de los dedos de 10 años hasta una edad mayor que las que se estudiaban, y levantar un dedo de 5 años en adelante, según el dedo de que se trata. Las correlaciones entre los tests eran todas positivas y casi todas significantas, 10 que indica un factor común que explique los tipos distintos de funcionamiento que se estudiaban.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
