Motor Development of Normal Children

May 3, 2026 updated by: Hadeer Abdallah Abdel Khalik, Cairo University

Motor Development of Normal Children in Urban Versus Rural Regions

The goal of this type of study: observational study is to compare motor development between urban and rural regions in pre-school age children. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is there difference in gross motor development of normal children aged from four to six years between urban and rural areas?
  • Is there difference in fine motor development of normal children aged from four to six years between urban and rural areas?

Participants will be asked to perform tasks of bruininks-oseretsky test of motor proficiency, second edition.

Researchers will compare urban group and rural group to see if there is any difference in motor development.
