Objective: This study aimed to follow the data of fine motor, coordination, and balance function as determined by the parent-rated Ability for\nBasic Movement Scale for Children Type T (ABMS-CT) of children born at our hospital at 2, 3, 4 years of age.\nMaterial and methods: This study included children who were born at our hospital and whose parents gave informed consent to participate\nin the study. The subjects were comprised of 2,403 babies. Questionnaires were distributed to their parents, and the childrenââ?¬â?¢s fine motor,\ncoordination, and balance function were evaluated according to the ABMS-CT at 2, 3, 4 years of age.\nResults: The mean-2SD cut-off point for each parameter in the ABMS-CT were as follows: ââ?¬Ë?Oral and facial areaââ?¬â?¢ at 2 years (0.331), 3 years\n(1.25), and 4 years (2.037) of age, ââ?¬Ë?Hands and fingersââ?¬â?¢ at 2 years (0.111), 3 years (1.064) and 4 years (2.247) of age, ââ?¬Ë?One legââ?¬â?¢ at 2 years (-0.486),\n3 years (-0.014)and 4 years (1.732) of age, ââ?¬Ë?Both legââ?¬â?¢ at 2 years (-0.062), 3 years (1.17) and 4 years (1.414) of age, and ââ?¬Ë?Stairsââ?¬â?¢ at 2 years (0.211),\n3 years (1.43) and 4 years (2.216) of age.\nConclusions: By using the mean data of the parent-rated ABMS-CT obtained in this study, we may be able to utilize this questionnaire to\nscreen infants for delay of fine motor, balance ability, or developmental coordination disorder (DCD) during early childhood.
