| Abstract |
Abstract: (1) Objective: To investigate the effects of play in an upright position on intra-individual
variability and to examine the relationship between the variability of gross motor and language
development in institutionalized infants aged six to ten months. (2) Methods: Thirty infants were
conveniently enrolled in either the experimental or control groups. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale
(AIMS) and the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile (CSBS-DP)
Infant/Toddler Checklist were tested pre and post each monthly intervention for three months.
Sixteen infants in the experimental group received an additional program of 45 min play in an
upright position three times a week for a 3-month period. (3) Results: There were significant
between-group differences in intra-individual variability of the AIMS percentiles (p-value = 0.042). In
addition, there was a significant difference in the intra-individual variability of the language percentile
between groups (p-value = 0.009). The intra-individual variability of gross motor development was
significantly correlated (rs = 0.541; p = 0.03) with language development. (4) Conclusions: Play in an
upright position could be applied to improve intra-individual variability in gross motor and language
development percentiles in institutionalized infants. |
