Entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success and self-efficacy in undergraduate students of health sciences.

BACKGROUND: Entrepreneurial intention is considered to be the best predictor of entrepreneurial behaviour. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) explains the degree of correlation between variables such as entrepreneurial intention, perceived feasibility and perceived desirability. Knowing the entrepreneurial intention of students of Health Sciences will help to guide and promote effective university policies to support entrepreneurship. The authors aimed to analyse the entrepreneurial intention of university students in the field of Health Sciences. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Faculties of Health Sciences of two public universities of Southern Spain. 1518 students of different degrees of Health Sciences (Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Dentistry, Nursing and Occupational Therapy), from first to fourth year. An online structured questionnaire was used, the Entrepreneurial Event Model (EEM) adapted to the Spanish context. This measurement model was completed with 8 items from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire-MSLQ. RESULTS: The hypothetical model showed that perceived desirability and perceived feasibility were positive and significant predictors of entrepreneurial intention. Perceived desirability showed an indirect effect on entrepreneurial intention through perceived feasibility. Expectation of success and self-efficacy had no direct effect on entrepreneurial intention. CONCLUSIONS: Perceived desirability and perceived feasibility are related to entrepreneurial intention in Health Sciences students.

Female employees' perception of breastfeeding-friendly support in a public university in Spain.

OBJECTIVE: To explore women's experience with continuing breastfeeding when they returned to work. DESIGN AND SAMPLE: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were female employees at the University of Seville who gave birth in the last 10 years while working at University. MEASURES: A questionnaire in Spanish was used to collect information on sociodemographic variables, employment characteristics, continued breastfeeding behavior after returning to work and the dimensions of the validated scale the Workplace Breastfeeding Support Scale (WBSS). RESULTS: A total of 197 women responded, consisting of 53.8% faculty and 46.2% administrative staff. Almost all the women had breastfed their children (92.9%). The proportion of women who continued to breastfeed after they returned to work was 51.3%. The main reason given for interrupting lactation was the challenge of reconciling family and work (53.1%). Faculty members took more breaks for breastfeeding (p = 0.002) and were able to arrange their breaks more easily (p < 0.001). Since it was easier for them to find a quiet place to pump breast milk (p = 0.025), they were more likely to continue breastfeeding after returning to work than were administrative staff (59.8% vs. 41.1%, p < 0.009). CONCLUSION: A designated lactation space and amenities should be provided in order to extend the duration of breastfeeding.

Effectiveness of Conservative Treatments in Positional Plagiocephaly in Infants: A Systematic Review.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to analyze conservative treatments implemented to manage positional plagiocephaly in infants. METHODS: This is a systematic review conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, performed in the Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. Articles were selected according to the eligibility criteria, regarding the effectiveness of conservative treatments in positional plagiocephaly in infants, published in the last 10 years with a score ≥3 in the PEDro Scale. RESULTS: A total of 318 articles were identified and 9 of them were finally selected. CONCLUSIONS: Physical therapy treatment is considered as the first line of intervention in plagiocephaly with non-synostotic asymmetries and manual therapy is the method that obtains the best results within this intervention. In cases of moderate or severe plagiocephaly, helmet therapy can be an effective second-line intervention; however, the best way to prevent this condition is through counseling of parents or caregivers, and early treatment is essential for optimal therapeutic outcomes. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CDR42022306466).

Analysis of Physical-Cognitive Tasks Including Feedback-Based Technology for Alzheimer's Disorder in a Randomized Experimental Pilot Study.

INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease causes great changes, with the prefrontal cortex being the most frequently damaged zone; these changes affect physical and cognitive behavior and compromise autonomy. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of physical-cognitive tasks on memory, attention, balance, gait, and risk of falling in Alzheimer's by using feedback-based technology. METHODS: Forty patients with Alzheimer's were recruited from an Alzheimer's Association; of these, 15 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the pilot RCT (eight in the control group; seven in the experimental group). ASSESSMENT TOOLS: The Cognitive Mini-Examination Scale, Oddball Test and Attention Network, Berg Scale, Tinetti, Timed Up and Go, and Geriatric Deterioration Scale. The experimental group was treated with physical-cognitive tasks by using combined feedback-based technology (visual, acoustic, simultaneous, immediate, and terminal feedback, as well as knowledge of the results and performance) under the supervision of physiotherapists twice per week for 16 thirty-minute sessions. The control group underwent their usual care (pharmacological treatment, mobility exercises, and cognitive stimulation sessions). RESULT: In the experimental group, the contrast tests showed differences for the re-test (except in attention), with the significative Timed Up and Go test being significant (p = 0.020). The interaction between groups showed significant differences for the experimental group according to the MEC (p = 0.029; d = 0.14) and Tinetti (p = 0.029; d = 0.68). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Memory, balance, gait, and risk of falling improved in the Alzheimer's patients through the use of physical-cognitive tasks involving combined feedback-based technology. The effects on attention were inconclusive. The outcomes should be treated with caution due to the sample. This can promote intergenerational bonds, use at home, and adherence to treatment.

Quantitative Ultrasound and Bone Health in Elderly People, a Systematic Review.

Reduced bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and their associated fractures are one of the main musculoskeletal disorders of the elderly. Quickness in diagnosis could prevent associated complications in these people. This study aimed to perform a systematic review (SR) to analyze and synthesize current research on whether a calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) can estimate BMD and predict fracture risk in elderly people compared to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), following the PRISMA guidelines. A search was conducted in the main open-access health science databases: PubMed and Web of Science (WOS). DXA is the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Despite controversial results, it can be concluded that the calcaneal QUS tool may be a promising method to evaluate BMD in elderly people, facilitating its prevention and diagnosis. However, further studies are needed to validate the use of calcaneal QUS.

Descriptive analysis of post-stroke patients in a neurological physical therapy unit.

Introduction: Physical therapy (PT) is the mainstay treatment in functional recovery after suffering a stroke. It is important in the acute phase of hospitalization after a stroke and later in the ambulatory phase. Patients and methods: The present study aimed to analyze the data provided by the clinical history (CH) of people with stroke (pwS) who received PT treatment in order to establish a "preferential patient profile" (PPP) that may benefit more from an early PT treatment. This was an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. A total of 137 pwS who had been treated with PT were selected. Information provided age, gender, stroke type and localization, and start and end dates of the different PT treatments. A descriptive analysis of the variables was conducted using absolute frequencies and percentages for the qualitative variables. Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney U-test was used to determine the relationship between the time and variables "stroke type," "outpatient," and "occupational therapy." The Kruskal-Wallis H-test was applied for the "localization" variable. Results: Of the entire sample, 57.7% were men, 65% had an ischemic stroke, and 48.9% had a stroke on the left side. The patients with hemorrhagic stroke had an increased number of hospital PT sessions (p = 0.01) and were younger (59.58 years) than patients with ischemic stroke (65.90 years) (p = 0.04). Discussion and conclusion: Our results do not show significant differences between the persons < 65 years and the number of outpatient physiotherapy sessions performed, although the resulting values are close to significance. Our results suggest that the PPP is a young person, with a hemorrhagic and left or bilateral stroke.

Effects of Non-Immersive Virtual Reality and Video Games on Walking Speed in Parkinson Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

People with Parkinson disease suffer from a loss of dopaminergic neurons, which are involved in walking speed. Currently, virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a useful tool for the rehabilitation of people with neurological diseases, optimizing results in balance and gait. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of VR or video games (through face-to-face sessions and not telerehabilitation) in improving walking speed and other spatio-temporal parameters of gait, balance, and quality of life in patients with Parkinson disease. A bibliographic search was carried out in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and PEDro databases. This systematic review adhered to the PRISMA guideline statement and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020180836). From a total of 119 records, 5 studies met the inclusion criteria for qualitative analysis, of which 3 contributed to the meta-analysis; inconclusive findings were found on gait speed, balance, and quality of life after the use of non-immersive VR systems face-to-face. A greater number of studies are necessary, with a greater number of participants, to differentiate between those VR specific systems (specifically designed for rehabilitation) from commercial video games, including immersive systems, and obtain more conclusive evidence. Furthermore, it would be interesting to compare the administration of this treatment in person versus its administration via telerehabilitation, which will help plan treatment programs.

Motor Skills and Visual Deficits in Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Narrative Review.

BACKGROUND: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a developmental disorder in which numerous comorbidities seem to coexist, such as motor and visual impairment and some executive functions; Methods: A narrative review on motor and visual deficits in children with DCD was carried out; Results and Discussion: Fine and gross motor skills are affected in children with DCD. In addition, they seem to be related to visual deficits, such as difficulty in visual perception, sensory processing and visual memory. Limitations have also been found in accommodation. Interventions in children with DCD should be aimed at improving both aspects, since vision affects motor skills and vice versa; Conclusions: In children with DCD, who present a marked deficit in global shape processing, it causes an association between deficiencies in visual perception and motor skills.

Shall we start? Ready, set, go! Toward early intervention in infants with unilateral cerebral palsy. A randomized clinical trial protocol.

Background: It is crucial to start an early intervention in unilateral cerebral palsy. Intensive therapies are focused on training based on activities. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the changes in the bimanual functional performance (BFP) after early intensive therapies at home compared with standard care in children with unilateral cerebral palsy from 9 to 18 months of age. Design: A single-blind comparative effectiveness study will be conducted. Methods and Analysis: Children will be randomized into four groups: infant-mCIMT, infant-BIT, infant-hybrid, and infant standard therapy (control group, CG). Each early intensive protocol will last 50 h and will be applied throughout a 10-week period with the family involvement at home. The main outcomes are BFP measure with mini-Assisting Hand Assessment (mini-AHA) scale, functional goals measure with Goal Attainment Scale (GAS), and satisfaction and expectations on intensive therapy from parents measure through specific questionnaire. Baseline characteristics between groups will be compared using independent t test and Fisher's exact test. Pre- and post-treatment outcomes of standard assessments will be compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) for parametric and Kruskal-Wallis test for non-parametric variables. The Bonferroni correction is applied for multiple comparisons. An alpha level of p ⩽ 0.05 is considered significant. Discussion: In relation to other studies that have analyzed intensive therapies, although with fewer intervention groups, it seems that the application of any of the intensive interventions is effective with the applied dose to obtain changes in BFP and increase the spontaneous use of the affected upper limb. Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04642872.

Impact of lack of face-to-face schooling during COVID-19 confinement on family quality of life of children with disabilities and typical development.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the lack of face-to-face schooling during the COVID-19 confinement on the family quality of life of children aged 3-6 years with hemiplegia, obstetrical brachial palsy, and typical development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational and cross-sectional study, using an online survey hosted in Google Forms from October to December 2020, was performed in families with children with infantile hemiplegia, obstetrical brachial palsy, and typical development aged 3-6 years living in Spain. The quality of life and family impact (measured through Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaires, PedsQL™) were evaluated, as well as the affected upper limb side, the presence of other associated problems, the parents' job, lack of use of the affected upper limb, and the type of online intervention using different channels: phone calls, emails, and video calls. Family expectations on the treatment and on their acquired capacity to solve problems related to their children were also measured. RESULTS: A total of 93 families participated in the study and the children's quality of life and family impact obtained a strong correlation in three populations: infantile hemiplegia (r = 0.844), obstetrical brachial palsy (r = 0.513), and typical development (r = 0.904). There was no association between quality of life and online intervention (phone calls and emails were selected), p > 0.05. CONCLUSION: The deprivation of schooling coupled with home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic had a greater impact on the quality of life of children with disabilities: infantile hemiplegia and obstetrical brachial palsy than on typically developing children and on their families. However, the online intervention did not produce improvements in quality of life, which could be a consequence of using emails or phone calls instead of video calls to interact with the families.

Visual system and motor development in children: a systematic review.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to review the available scientific literature on the possible relationship between the visual system and motor development in children. METHODS: This study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement recommendations. The review protocol is available in PROSPERO (CRD42021245341). Four different databases, namely Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL and Web of Science, were assessed from April 2005 to February 2021. To determine the quality of the articles, we used the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) Quality Appraisal Scale, and a protocol was followed to define the levels of evidence on the basis of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Levels of Evidence. The search strategy included terms describing motor development in children and adolescents with visual disorders. RESULTS: Among the identified studies, 23 were included in the study. All selected articles examined the relationship between the visual system and development in children. The quality of most of the studies was moderate-high, and they were between evidence levels 2 and 4. CONCLUSIONS: Our systematic review revealed that all included studies established a relationship between the visual system and development in children. However, the methods for measuring the visual system and motor skills lacked uniformity.

Clinical relevance of massage therapy and abdominal hypopressive gymnastics on chronic nonspecific low back pain: a randomized controlled trial.

PURPOSE: To determine the clinical relevance of the effects that Massage-Therapy (MT) and Abdominal-Hypopressive-Gymnastics (AHG) and the combination of both procedures have on the disability, pain intensity, quality of life, and lumbar mobility of patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). METHODS: A randomized controlled-trial with parallel-groups, concealed allocation, assessor blinding, and intention-to-treat analysis was carried out. The sample included 60 adults with CNSLBP. The participants received MT (n = 20), AHG (n = 20), or MT + AHG (n = 20). Each group received 8 interventions. RESULTS: The ODI change scores were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the MT + AHG group than in the other two groups. Significant differences were found in the results of NRS, Schober's test, and SF-12 PCS (p < 0.05) in each group. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) between the values of SF-12 MCS in AHG and MT + AHG groups. CONCLUSIONS: Massage Therapy and Abdominal Hypopressive Gymnastics reduce pain levels, increase the mobility of the lumbar spine, and improve disability and quality of life (PCS) in patients with CNSLBP in the short term. Likewise, AHG and MT + AHG improve quality of life (MCS). The combination of both therapies provides more benefits in terms of lumbar disability in patients with CNSLBP in the short term. This improvement is clinically relevant. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02721914).IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMassage Therapy (MT) and Abdominal Hypopressive Gymnastics (AHG), reduce pain, improve mobility and quality of life, and reduce disability in the short term.These results are clinically relevant.The combination of manual and active therapy (MT + AHG) seems to be more effective and produces clinically relevant changes.

This Is My Baby Interview: An Adaptation to the Spanish Language and Culture.

Evaluating the emotional state of parents is important for determining the intervention in the context of a family with a baby with Down syndrome. "This is my baby" is an interview that measures the acceptance, commitment and awareness of influence of parents towards their baby. The Spanish adaptation of this instrument helps to better understand the emotional state of parents of children with developmental disorders. A cross-cultural adaptation and reliability analysis was carried out. The results suggest that the Spanish version of the This Is My Baby interview is a reliable instrument to measure the levels of acceptance, commitment and awareness of influence of parents of an infant with Down syndrome.

Co-Design of an Intervention to Increase the Participation in Leisure Activities Including Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy with GMFCS Levels IV and V: A Study Protocol.

The participation of adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) within the community is reduced compared to their peers and is a barrier to their socialization, self-determination and quality of life. Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is a key strategy for successful interventions, especially when involvement of the stakeholders takes place at all stages of the research. Co-design can be crucial for success as researchers, patients with CP and their families work together to bring the necessary elements to the interventions to be designed. The objectives will be: (1) To co-design an intervention aimed at improving the participation of adolescents with significant motor disabilities within the community in partnership with adolescents with CP, families and rehabilitation professionals. (2) To assess the feasibility of the co-design process in partnership with interested parties. The study will be based on Participatory Action Research (PAR) and will be held in Spain and Brazil. In both countries, the study will be carried out remotely with nine adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV-V, their families and six health professionals (physiotherapists and occupational therapists). Different dialogue groups will be created to involve adolescents, families and health professionals to the research's project. To manage their involvement in the co-design process, the Involvement Matrix (IM) will be used, and according to the IM phases, four steps will be included in the research: (1) Preparation; (2) Co-design; (3) Analysis: results of the intervention protocol and the study's feasibility and (4) Dissemination of results. Partnering with the public to design an intervention to improve participation can bring better results compared to protocols designed only by health professionals. In addition, it will allow for knowing the needs of adolescents with CP in terms of participation within the community. The study will also explore which roles were chosen by all participants and how they felt while actively participating in the process of co-designing an intervention protocol and their own perspectives on the use of the involvement matrix.

Inclusive Design in the Field of Education from the Paradigm of Early Intervention.

Inclusive education and early intervention go hand in hand in the early educational stages to reach the maximum potential of the student body. The aim of this study was to analyze the inclusive profile of an educational center and assess the effectiveness of an inclusive task (designed for this study) in a group of students of early childhood education. This analytical, prospective, descriptive and longitudinal study was conducted from both qualitative and quantitative approaches. From the qualitative approach, an interview was carried out with early childhood education teachers. A total of nine participants were interviewed. Their mean age was 42.25 ± 9.30 years, with a mean experience of 14.25 ± 9.25 years. The quantitative part of the study was carried out with 97 students of early childhood education. After delivering a learning workshop about awareness of functional diversity, three variables were analyzed: story memory, demonstrated emotion, and game memory. The qualitative study indicates that it is necessary to develop coping strategies, such as including special education tasks in the classroom, prior to specific staff training and programming in specific aspects of awareness. Moreover, it is shown that the perception of treatment among peers is already present at this educational stage. The quantitative study reveals that the task was exciting and motivating for the students, which promotes learning and awareness.

How Does the Cause of Infantile Hemiparesis Influence Other Conditioning Factors? A Preliminary Study in a Spanish Population.

Infantile hemiparesis may be associated with significant morbidity and may have a profound impact on a child's physical and social development. Infantile hemiparesis is associated with motor dysfunction as well as additional neurologic impairments, including sensory loss, mental retardation, epilepsy, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments. The objective of this study was to analyze the association between the cause of infantile hemiparesis and birth (gestational age), age of diagnosis, and associated disorders present in children with infantile hemiparesis aged 0 to 3 years. An observational and cross-sectional study was performed. A simple and anonymous questionnaire was created ad hoc for parents of children diagnosed with infantile hemiparesis aged between 0 and 3 years about the situation regarding the diagnosis of hemiparesis, birth, cause of hemiparesis, and presence of other associated disorders. Perinatal stroke (60.1%) was the most common cause of hemiparesis, and the most typical associated disorder was epilepsy (34.2%), with the second largest percentage in this dimension corresponding to an absence of associated disorders (20.7%). The most frequent birth was "no premature" (74.1%). The mean age of diagnosis of infantile hemiparesis was registered at 8 months (IQR: 0-36). Knowing the possible association between different conditioning factors and the cause of infantile hemiparesis facilitates the prevention of severe sequelae in children and family, implementing an early comprehensive therapeutic approach in children with infantile hemiparesis.

Early Intervention in Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: Let's Listen to the Families! What Are Their Desires and Perspectives? A Preliminary Family-Researcher Co-Design Study.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a clinical diagnosis based on a combination of clinical and neurological signs, which occurs between the ages of 12 and 24 months. Cerebral palsy or a high risk of cerebral palsy can be accurately predicted before 5-6 months, which is the corrected age. This would allow the initiation of intervention at an early stage. Parents must be more involved in the development and implementation of the early therapy, increasing opportunities for parent-child interaction. The aim of this study was to learn from the perspectives of families with children under 12 months with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP), what ingredients (barriers and facilitators) should be involved in early intervention so that we could co-design (researchers and families) a multidisciplinary guideline for a global intervention addressed to the needs of the child and the family. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at a time and venue convenient for the families. A total of ten families with experience in early intervention were invited to attend the interview with open questions: (1) What components should early intervention have for a baby diagnosed with UCP? (2) What components should early intervention have for the family? (3) What should the involvement of the family be in early intervention? (4) What barriers included in early intervention should be removed? From the data analysis, three key topics emerged and were subsequently named by focus group participants: (1) UCP early intervention components, (2) family involvement in early intervention of UCP, and (3) removing barriers and creating facilitators within early intervention. The participation of the families (mothers) in the co-design of the necessary ingredients within the scope of a multidisciplinary early intervention guide aimed at children with UCP under 12 months allows learning about their reality and not that of the therapist. The following list highlights the present barriers as perceived by the parents: intervention as spectators, therapeutic goals, clinic environment, and lack of empathy, and the possible facilitators determined by the parents during the implementation comprised teamwork, the family's goals, motivation during the intervention, and learning at home. Thus, an early intervention program to improve global functionality should address family involvement through multidisciplinary coaching and the modification of the environment, encouraging family goals and family support through the family-therapist team.

[Effectiveness of treadmill training on the motor development of children with cerebral palsy and Down syndrome]. / Eficacia de la marcha en cinta rodante sobre el desarrollo motor de niños con parálisis cerebral y síndrome de Down.

Cerebral palsy and Down syndrome are two conditions that present with a deficit in motor development. Treadmill interventions were found to improve this delay in development. This work aimed to describe and analyze the methodological quality of studies that applied treadmill interventions alone or combined with other therapies to promote gait and balance in children under 12 years of age with cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. A systematic review was made in different databases: PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane and Science Direct. Only randomized clinical trials published to date were selected. The methodological quality of the identified studies was assessed using the PEDro scale. Of the 324 articles initially found, 10 were selected, which met the established inclusion criteria for qualitative analysis. The variables analyzed were gait and balance in both populations after the treadmill intervention, with and without suspension of body weight. The main conclusion was that the application of a treadmill alone is an effective intervention to promote the development of gait and balance in children under 12 years with cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.

La parálisis cerebral y el síndrome de Down son dos afecciones que cursan con déficit del desarrollo motor. Este retraso mejora con el uso de cinta rodante. Se realizó una revisión sistemática en diferentes bases de datos con el propósito de analizar estudios y s u calidad metodológica en relación a la aplicación del uso exclusivo de cinta rodante y su combinación con otras terapias para fomentar la marcha y equilibrio en niños menores de 12 años con parálisis cerebral y síndrome de Down. Se seleccionaron únicamente ensayos clínicos aleatorizados publicados hasta la fecha en PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane y Science Direct. La calidad metodológica de los estudios identificados se evaluó a través de la escala PEDro. De los 324 artículos inicialmente encontrados, se seleccionaron los 10 que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión establecidos para su análisis cualitativo. Las variables analizadas fueron la marcha y el equilibrio en ambas poblaciones tras la intervención con cinta rodante, con y sin suspensión del peso corporal. Concluimos que la aplicación de cinta rodante como única herramienta terapéutica resulta una intervención eficaz para favorecer el desarrollo de la marcha y el equilibrio en niños de 0 a12 años con parálisis cerebral y síndrome de Down.

Families' Perceptions of the Motor Development and Quality of Life of Their Children Aged 0-3 Years during Home Confinement Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A Descriptive Study.

The child's interaction with the natural environment allows different learning opportunities and favors their motor development, which may be affected after a period of environmental deprivation, a consequence of home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective of the study was to analyze the different areas of motor development, as well as the quality of life of children aged 0 to 3 years old after home confinement by COVID-19 and the possible correlation between both variables, and the influence of parental stimulation on motor development during this time of exclusive interaction with the immediate environment (home and family). A descriptive study was performed. A simple and anonymous questionnaire was created for parents of children between 0 and 3 years old who lived in Spain during the period of home confinement due to COVID-19 (March to June 2020). The measurement instrument used was a questionnaire made in "Google Forms", where the variables were collected: Motor development (measured through the Ages & Stages Questionnaire, ASQ3), Quality of life (assessed with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, PedsQL) and other variables, such as stimulation, performed during home confinement. Eighty-eight questionnaires were validated. The highest score in the motor development domains were obtained in children 2-3 years old. The motor domain of children aged 2-3 years old that obtained the highest score was communication (M = 54.69 ± 10.03) and the highest score in the quality of life was obtained in children aged 0-1 years old (M = 85.47 ± 12.39), also acquiring the lowest score in the emotional domain in all age groups (0-1, 1-2 and 2-3 years old). The assessment of motor development and quality of life after home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic did not determine low values, so it would not have been affected during this period of lack of interaction with the natural environment. Emphasizing that the emotional aspect within quality of life was the lowest score, this indicates that children from 0 to 3 years old need more emotional support in situations of variability of daily routines and of family stress.
