Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Bottom shuffling (BS) affects over 20% of infants, potentially reducing physical activity. Parental understanding of infant sitting development correlates with BS incidence, suggesting a link to developmental milestones.
Area Of Science
- Developmental Pediatrics
- Infant Motor Development
- Behavioral Pediatrics
Background
- Bottom shuffling (BS) is observed in typically developing infants, but its incidence and influencing factors remain unclear.
- Understanding BS is crucial for assessing potential impacts on infant development and autonomy.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the occurrence of bottom shuffling in typically developing infants.
- To explore the relationship between parental intervention/understanding and the incidence of bottom shuffling.
Main Methods
- A questionnaire survey on bottom shuffling was administered to 241 parents of infants aged 0-1 year.
- Participants were selected from urban and rural nursery schools across three prefectures in Japan.
Main Results
- 52 out of 241 infants (21.6%) exhibited bottom shuffling between 6 and 18 months of age.
- No significant difference in the age of acquiring creeping, crawling, or sitting was found based on BS occurrence.
- A correlation was identified between BS incidence and parental beliefs regarding infant sitting development timing.
Conclusions
- Bottom shuffling may decrease opportunities for prone activities, potentially reducing overall physical activity.
- Concerns exist regarding the impact of bottom shuffling on infant autonomy and physical development.
