ABSTRACT

Purpose: This retrospective study aims to describe the gross motor development of children aged 4 to 24 months with congenital heart disease (CHD) enrolled in a systematic developmental follow-up program and to describe the frequency of physical therapy sessions they received between 4 and 8 months of age.

Methods: Twenty-nine infants with CHD underwent motor evaluations using the AIMS at 4 months, and the Bayley-III at 12 and 24 months.

Results: Based on AIMS, 79% of 4-month-old infants had a gross motor delay and required physical therapy. Among these, 56.5% received one to two physical therapy sessions, and 43.5% received three to six sessions. Infants who benefited from regular interventions tended to show a better improvement in motor scores from 12 to 24 months.

Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of early motor screening in infants with CHD and suggests a potential benefit of early physical therapy in at-risk children.

摘要

目的：这项回顾性研究旨在描述参加系统性发展随访计划的4-24个月先天性心脏病（CHD）儿童的总体运动发育，并描述他们在4至8岁之间接受物理治疗的频率月龄。

方法：29例CHD婴儿在4个月时使用AIMS进行了运动评估，在12和24个月时使用了Bayley-III。

结果：根据AIMS，79％的4个月大婴儿有明显的运动延迟，需要物理治疗。其中，56.5％接受了一到两次物理治疗，43.5％接受了三到六次治疗。受益于常规干预的婴儿在12到24个月的运动评分方面往往表现出更好的改善。

结论：这项研究强调了对冠心病婴儿进行早期运动筛查的重要性，并提出了对处于危险中的儿童进行早期物理治疗的潜在益处。
