Back ground and aim: The development of body parts identification is parallel with the development
of sensory motor. The proper evaluation of developmental is done in western countries, but they are
not designed for different races, therefore we decide to survey about body part identification in
Tehran.
Materials and Methods: This study performed on 90 children (46 girls and 44 boys) of 1-4years old
in east of Tehran with cross sectional design. The first demographic questionnaire was completed by
chief nursery and then the second section of questionnaire which was consisted of self body and doll
body parts identification, filled in order to determine the number of parts pointed for obtaining of total
grade survey on the children and dolls bodies.
Results: The findings showed that there were significant difference between three group of age
(P<0.0001). There was no significant differences between two gender groups (boys and girls) in scores
mean of self and doll bodies identification in all age groups (P>0.05). In final there was no significant
difference between body identification on self body and doll body (P=0.12).
Conclusion: Children who are unable to point to body parts may be at risk for delays in language,
cognition, and body scheme development and should be screened or evaluated further. |
