The study on achievement of motor milestones and associated factors among children in rural North India [PDF]

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2016
Background: Nearly 14% of children worldwide do not reach their developmental potential in early childhood. The early identification of delays in achieving milestones is critical.

Early motor developmental milestones and schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Schizophrenia Research, 2017
The neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia proposes that impaired brain development is a cause of the illness. Early motor developmental milestones, such as learning to walk, are predictors of later schizophrenia but studies have not been systematically reviewed.

Assessment of Motor Milestones in Twins [PDF]

Twin Research and Human Genetics, 2007
AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of obtaining through mailed surveys maternal reports of specific major motor milestones achievement. To accomplish this aim we compared and contrasted mailed survey data and telephone interview data on a series of questions about age at which motor milestones were achieved.

Influences on Achieving Motor Milestones: A Twin–Singleton Study [PDF]

Twin Research and Human Genetics, 2006
AbstractIn order to determine if twinning impacted achievement of motor milestones the attainment of early motor milestones in twins was examined and compared to published data from singletons of the same age from the same culture and birth years. We examined the influence of twinning, sex, zygosity and birth cohort (1987–2001) on the motor development
