Abstract

Purpose: To summarize and appraise the emerging evidence on early motor skills of infants later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the association of early motor delays to later ASD diagnosis/characteristics.

Methods: A literature search was conducted for studies published from 2000 to 2023 on the motor skills of infants later diagnosed with ASD, followed by screening and data extraction.

Results: Current evidence suggested presence of early motor deficits including poor anticipatory movements, postural control, and gross/fine motor skills during the first 2 years of ASD. However, there was variability among studies with regard to study sample and methodology.

Conclusion: Although motor deficits are evident in infants, it is unclear whether these are specific to ASD or a consequence of general developmental disorder. Future research is needed on the investigation of specificity and severity of early motor delays, which can potentially assist in early identification of ASD.

自闭症谱系障碍患者生命前2年早期运动迟缓：范围界定综述。

目的：总结和评估关于后来被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的婴儿早期运动技能的新证据，以及早期运动延迟与后来被诊断/特征的关系，然后进行筛选和数据提取。结果：目前的证据表明，在ASD的前2年，存在早期运动缺陷，包括不良的预期运动、姿势控制和粗/细运动技能。然而，各研究在研究样本和方法方面存在差异。结论：尽管运动缺陷在婴儿中很明显，但尚不清楚这些缺陷是ASD特有的还是一般发育障碍的结果。未来需要对早期运动迟缓的特异性和严重性进行研究，这可能有助于ASD的早期识别。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Physical Therapy is an indexed international journal, that publishes peer reviewed research related to the practice of physical therapy for children with movement disorders. The editorial board is comprised of an international panel of researchers and clinical scholars that oversees a rigorous peer review process. The journal serves as the official journal for the pediatric physical therapy professional organizations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The journal includes articles that support evidenced based practice of physical therapy for children with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and developmental conditions that lead to disorders of movement, and research reports that contribute to the foundational sciences of pediatric physical therapy, ranging from biomechanics and pediatric exercise science to neurodevelopmental science. To these ends the journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews directed to specific clinical questions that further the science of physical therapy, clinical guidelines and case reports that describe unusual conditions or cutting edge interventions with sound rationale. The journal adheres to the ethical standards of theInternational Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
