Abstract

The fine motor development of 66 high-risk infants who did not have major neurological problems was evaluated at 3, 6, 12, 24 months corrected age using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Fine Motor Subscale. The average fine motor development of these infants was found to be increasingly delayed as the infants reached 2 years of age. Sensitivity of 3-, 6-, and 12-month scores for 24-months scores was low. Fine motor development did not differ among normal, low, or very low birthweight infants.
