Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the General Movement checklist.

Background: The Prechtl's General Movement Assessment (GMA) is a widely accepted tool for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants. However, access to formal training in GMA is limited in low- and middle-income countries, such as Mexico. This study aimed to validate the Spanish version of the General Movement checklist (GMC), a tool designed to facilitate the evaluation of general movements, particularly for clinicians with limited experience.

Usefulness of Cerebral Palsy Curves in Mexican Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Cerebral palsy describes a group of movement and posture disorders that cause activity limitation, and are attributable to nonprogressive disorders that occur in the fetal or infant brain. The growth of these children should not be compared with those of the healthy population. We studied 452 children, 186 female and 266 male.
