Abstract FASD may occur in up to 2–5% of the population. The effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the development of the central nervous system (CNS) have been widely described, but usually only in school-age children. Early diagnosis and assessment of motor development can facilitate the development of effective intervention and support protocols, which can improve motor functioning and the overall development of these children . In the article, we look at the research methods and scales used to examine the motor development of infants exposed to prenatal alcohol exposure and critically analyze the usefulness of the diagnostic methods. The high predictive value of studies combining quantitative and qualitative assessment is increasingly emphasized. All publications assessing the psychomotor development of children exposed to prenatal alcohol exposure are based on studies using scales assessing child development only quantitatively. In the presented studies, the results are ambiguous. The discrepancy in results in selected publications may be due to the inaccuracy of the selected measurement tools.

Roksana Malak, Ewa Gajewska, Magdalena Sobieska, Włodzimierz Samborski – Manual Ability Classification System for children with cerebral palsy. Fizjoterapia Polska 2010; 10(1); 69-77

Abstract
Background. The Manual Ability Classification System is a five-level scale for evaluating the manual ability of children with cerebral palsy aged 4-18 years. The aim of the study was to determine how the manual ability of cerebral palsied children and youth is influenced by the type of cerebral palsy and daily activities indicating various levels of psychomotor development. Material and methods. The study involved a group of 40 children with cerebral palsy aged 4-18 years attending Special Education School Complex No. 103 and Special Education Kindergarten No. 164 in Poznań. The research tool was a questionnaire containing the Manual Ability Classification System filled in by the parents. ICP type according to the Ingram classification was determined together with the level of psychomotor development.Results. Children with bilateral hemiplegia (16) represented the poorest manual abilities compared to children with spastic diplegia (13) or spastic hemiplegia (11). There was a correlation between the ease of handling everyday objects and the ability to crawl (F (1.38) = 21.466, p = 0.0004) and between the ability to stand up unassisted and the ability to stand unassisted(F(1.38)=35.894,p=. 00000).Conclusions. 1. Children with bilateral hemiplegia were most limited in their ability to handle everyday objects. 2. The ability to crawl, stand up unassisted and stand unassisted were correlated with good object handling skills.

Roksana Malak, Ewa Gajewska, Magdalena Sobieska, Włodzimierz Samborski – Posture parameters vs. motor ability of children with cerebral palsy. Fizjoterapia Polska 2010; 10(2); 113-122

Abstract
The aim of the study was to demonstrate that posture quality influences psychomotor development among children with cerebral palsy. Materials and method: The study involved 33 children (16 girls, 17 boys) aged 1–18 years diagnosed with cerebral palsy who attended Special School Complex No. 103, the Wielkopolska Outpatient Clinic of Neurology, Department of Paediatric Orthopaedics and Traumatology in Teaching Hospital No. 4, and Bartek Rehabilitation Center in Poznań. The children were assessed in late 2007/early 2008 according to a standardised examination protocol. The results were analysed with Statistica 7.1 software.Results:1. There was a clear correlation between cervical spine position in the frontal plane and the ability to lift the head (p=.035). 2. There was a significant correlation between the presence of a deviation of the lumbar spine in the frontal plane and the ability to lift the head in a proper manner (p=,035). 3. Shoulder protraction influenced inappropriate forearm support patterns in a non-significant manner. Conclusions:1. The postural parameters that significantly influence the development of motor function are the position of the cervical and lumbar spine in the frontal plane. 2. Spinal shape influences the motor ability of children with cerebral palsy.
