Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare motor and cognitive development between typically developing preschool children and children born low birth weight.Fifteen TP children and 15 children born low birth weight were participated in this study. Test of gross motor development (second version, TGMD-2) was used to assess gross motor skills such as locomotion and manipulation, Bruininks- Osertesky test of motor proficient (second edition, short form- BOTMP2) to measure fine motor skills such as: upper extremity coordination, response, speed and agility of upper extremity and Goodenough Man Testto measure cognitive ability of children.The results of independent t test and Shapiro-Wilk showed that TP children are significantly better (P<0.05) cognitive and fine motor skills than children born low birth weight. Also they showed significantly higher scores in some gross motor skills.It seems that children born low birth weight may experience long term consequences in cognitive skills as well as gross and fine motor skills.
