Abstract

Aim: To explore the relationship between motor activities and executive functions (EF) in children (aged 10-12 years) with a history of neonatal hypothermia-treated hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

Material and methods: Forty-five children (mean age 11 years) with a history of neonatal hypothermia-treated HIE in Stockholm (2007-2009) were included in this cross-sectional study. The children were assessed with Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-V (WISC-V). Their parents completed Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-2 (BRIEF-2), Five to Fifteen-R, and MABC-2 Checklist.

Results: Associations between motor capacity and EF, specifically Processing Speed, Working Memory, Flexibility, and Inhibition, were detected. Children scoring below the 15^th percentile on MABC-2 had weaker EF, evident in Cognitive Proficiency Index from WISC-V (t43 = 2.515, p = 0.016) and a higher mean Global Executive Composition Score from BRIEF-2 (t43 = -2.890, p = 0.006). Children with stronger EF exhibited better motor capacity. Parental questionnaires indicated everyday difficulties in 52% of the children.

Conclusions: Weaker EF were associated with difficulties in motor activities in early adolescence following hypothermia-treated HIE. These results highlight the importance of evaluating both motor activities and EF to understand children's everyday challenges.

低温治疗的新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病后青少年早期的运动活动和执行功能。

目的：探讨新生儿低温缺氧缺血性脑病（HIE）患儿（10 ~ 12岁）运动活动与执行功能（EF）的关系。材料和方法：本横断面研究纳入了斯德哥尔摩（2007-2009）45名患有新生儿低温治疗的HIE病史的儿童（平均年龄11岁）。采用儿童运动评估量表-2 （MABC-2）和韦氏智力量表- v （WISC-V）对儿童进行评估。他们的父母完成了执行功能行为评定量表-2 （BRIEF-2）、5 - 15 - r和MABC-2检查表。结果：运动能力与EF之间存在关联，特别是加工速度、工作记忆、灵活性和抑制。MABC-2得分低于第15百分位的儿童EF较弱，这在WISC-V的认知能力指数中明显（t43 = 2.515, p = 0.016），在BRIEF-2的全球执行成分得分中较高（t43 = -2.890, p = 0.006）。EF越强的儿童运动能力越好。家长问卷显示52%的孩子有日常困难。结论：较弱的EF与低温治疗后的青少年早期运动活动困难有关。这些结果强调了评估运动活动和EF对于了解儿童日常挑战的重要性。

期刊介绍： Applied Neuropsychology: Child publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in children. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of child patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
