Human development is a process that starts from intrauterine life, being influenced by both biological and socio-environmental factors. Biological risk factors lead to a greater propensity of unfavorable evolution in infants, who may present delays during motor development or some health conditions, such as cerebral palsy. Moreover, even with biological risk, infants do not always receive…
Dr. Giuseppina Sgandurra is responsible for the INNOVATivE technologies in the neurorehabilitation laboratory (INNOVATE lab). She is a child neuropsychiatrist with strong expertise in designing new clinical and technological approaches to diagnosing and treating infants and children with motor development disorders and in customizing exercises in telerehabilitation training. She is a Seni…
Objectives: This project is divided into two studies. Study 1: aims to translate the Infant Motor Profile (IMP) from the British English to Brazilian Portuguese; Study 2: aims to obtain normative data from the motor repertoire of typical Brazilian infants aged 3 to 18 months old or even acquire an independent mature walking (3 months after the acquisition) by IMP-Brazil. Methodology: Stud…
Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) frequently experience balance problems. Importantly, virtual reality games lend improvements on the balance e can facilitate the transfer to daily functional activities. The general objective of this study is to investigate whether the amount of motor learning through intervention differs between children with and without DCD and if …

INTRODUCTION: According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), an individual's participation is defined as their level of involvement in daily activities. Cerebral Palsy (CP), as an injury to the Central Nervous System, causes restriction in activities, therefore, it may affect the individual's participation. OBJECTIVE: To identify the participati…

Introduction: Typical motor development may be compromised by biological risk factors, such as prematurity. It is considered one of the main causes of perinatal mortality and is present in 1 of 10 births in the city of São Carlos-SP. The scientific community stil discusses the early detection of neuromotor impairments and deficits since the late identification entails morbidities at schoo…
INTRODUCTION: Motor development is a dynamic and continuous process in which there is gain and progression of motor skills, and it can be influenced by the experiences to which the infant is exposed. Experiencing the exploration of several postures, such as prone, is important, as it enables the exploration of the environment, helps in the development of motor skills, and in the acquisiti…
Aim: To characterize the sensory processing patterns of children aged 6 to 11 years enrolled in public and private schools in São Carlos-SP. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. 148 children will participate, divided into two groups: 1) experimental group, composed of children with atypical sensory processing patterns, and 2) control group, composed of children with typical sensory p…

INTRODUCTION: Human development is a process that starts from intrauterine life and is influenced by both biological and socio-environmental factors. Infants with biological risk factors are predisposed to experience unfavorable developmental outcomes, and they may experience delays in motor development or certain health conditions, such as cerebral palsy. Early, effective intervention st…
The Infant Motor Profile and the Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment are instruments for assessing child development, assessing aspects of motor, neurological and socioemotional behavior, developed by Dr. Mijna Hadders-Algra, of the Institute of Developmental Neurology. These assessment instruments aim to identify early risks for motor and neurological changes, such as cereb…
