Through this identification, we discuss the impact of these difficulties on motor development and the factors that interfere in this process. Objective: To identify the prevalence of children with motor difficulties in a sample from Fortaleza/CE and to identify in which motor components these difficulties are more evident. Method: Four hundred and twenty-three children aged 7-10 years old, both genders and from elementary school were assessed by the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) and identified with Motor Difficulties, Risk at a motor difficulty and Typical Development. We used a Qui-square analysis to identify the differences between genders regarding the prevalence of children identified in these categories. We used Student's T and Mann-Whitney U test to analyze differences between genders regarding motor components scores (Manual Dexterity, Throw and Receive and Balance) and MABC-2 total score. Results: 11.6% of the children had Motor Difficulties and 25.8% had Risk for motor difficulty. Although there was no difference between the prevalence of girls and boys identified with Motor Difficulties, girls performed better than boys in the Manual dexterity and Balance components, while boys performed better than girls on the Throwing and Catching component. Conclusion: The prevalence of children identified with Motor Difficulties in the sample from Fortaleza is similar to other studies in Brazilian regions. This prevalence is worrisome, considering the consequences caused by the motor difficulties. Environmental factors, related to the socio-cultural context, can influence motor development. Introdução: Avaliação da coordenação motora possibilita identificar em quais habilidades crianças apresentam dificuldades. Por meio dessa identificação, é possível discutir o impacto dessas dificuldades no desenvolvimento motor e quais fatores interferem neste processo. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência de crianças com dificuldades motoras em uma amostra da cidade de Fortaleza/CE e em quais componentes motores essas dificuldades são mais evidentes. Método: Quatrocentos e vinte e três crianças de 7-10 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos, foram avaliadas com a Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) e identificadas com Dificuldades Motoras, Risco para Dificuldade Motora e Desenvolvimento Típico. Análise Quiquadrado foi utilizada para identificar as diferenças entre os sexos quanto à prevalência de crianças identificadas nessas categorias. Testes T de Student e U de Mann-Whitney foram utilizados para analisar diferenças entre os sexos quanto à pontuação nos componentes motores (Destreza Manual, Arremessar e Agarrar, e Equilíbrio) e à pontuação total na MABC-2. Resultados: 11,6% das crianças foram identificadas com Dificuldades Motoras e 25,8% com Risco para Dificuldade Motora. Apesar de não haver diferença entre as prevalências de meninas e meninos com Dificuldades Motoras, as meninas apresentaram desempenho superior aos meninos no componente Destreza Manual e Equilíbrio, enquanto os meninos apresentaram desempenho superior ao das meninas no componente Arremessar e Agarrar. Conclusão: A prevalência de crianças com Dificuldades Motoras na amostra de Fortaleza é semelhante à apontada em outras regiões brasileiras. Essa prevalência é preocupante, considerando as consequências decorrentes das dificuldades motoras. Fatores ambientais, relacionados ao contexto sociocultural, podem influenciar o desenvolvimento motor. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
