Resumo: Visually impaired children show difficulties in recognizing their own bodies, objects around then and the spatial parameters that are essential for independent movement. This study analyzes the neuro-psychomotor development of a group of congenitally visually impaired children as compared to children with normal sight. We have evaluated two groups of seven-year-olds by means of neurological evolution examination (NEE). The group studied comprised 20 blind children and the control group comprised 20 children with normal sight, and they were paired up according to age and gender. In some tests, the blind children were guided by touch. The visually impaired children performed worse in tests evaluating balance and appendage coordination compared to normal sighted children (p< 0.001), and this suggests that visual deficiency impairs children's neuro-psychomotor development.

Este trabalho analisa o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de um grupo de crianças com deficiência visual congênita em comparação a crianças com visão normal. Avaliamos dois grupos de crianças de sete anos de idade, através do exame neurológico evolutivo (ENE). O grupo estudado era constituído de 20 crianças cegas e o grupo controle constituído de 20 crianças com visão normal, pareadas por idade e sexo. Em algumas provas, as crianças cegas foram instruídas pelo tato. As crianças portadoras de deficiência visual tiveram pior desempenho nas provas que avaliaram o equilíbrio e coordenação apendicular, quando comparadas às crianças com visão normal (p< 0,001), sugerindo que o déficit visual compromete o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor da criança.Universidade Bandeirante de São PauloUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Escola Paulista de MedicinaUNIFESP, EPMSciELOAcademia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEUROUniversidade Bandeirante de São PauloUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Navarro, Andréa SanchezFukujima, Marcia Maiumi [UNIFESP]Fontes, Sissy Veloso [UNIFESP]Matas, Sandro Luiz de Andrade [UNIFESP]Prado, Gilmar Fernandes do [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:31:15Z2015-06-14T13:31:15Z2004-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion654-657application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0004-282X2004000400016Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria.
