TL;DR
This sample of non-disabled extremely preterm or ELBW children performed in the lower range of normal, therefore, ongoing monitoring and tailored intervention may optimise development.
Abstract
This sample of non-disabled extremely preterm or ELBW children performed in the lower range of normal. These children continue to be at risk of impairments, therefore, ongoing monitoring and tailored intervention may optimise development.

It is proposed that the age 4-6 is a transition period in the development of posture control, where the nervous system uses visual-vestibular inputs to fine tune ankle-joint proprioception in preparation for its increased importance in posture control and fine tunes the structural organization of the postural synergies themselves.

127 Citations2008T-A Goyen, Kei Lui
Motor assessment using Peabody Fine Motor Scales at 3 years with a cut-off of <27th centile was the best predictor of DCD (areas under curve 78%) and apparently normal high-risk infants are at risk of motor dysfunction into their school years.

124 Citations2002Leanne M. Johnston, Yvonne Burns +2 more
Differences in timing of muscle activity and resultant arm movement during a rapid, voluntary, goal-directed arm movement support the hypothesis that in children with DCD, altered postural muscle activity may contribute to poor proximal stability and consequently poor arm movement control when performing goal- directed movement.
