Psychomotricity and its relationship with the intelligence quotient in preschoolers with congenital hypothyroidism

Objective To identify the relationship between the Psychomotor Performance and the Intelligence Quotient in preschoolers diagnosed with Congenital hypothyroidism CH Methods Transversal study with preschoolers diagnosed with CH Picq and Vayer test PV and Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence WPPSI were used nbsp Pearson s correlation coefficient and analysis of variance were estimated Results Body schema BS from the PV test showed the highest statistically significant correlation with global IQ nbsp from the WPPSI r verbal IQ VIQ with Language LE r and performance IQ PIQ with BS r Components from the PV test showing significant correlations with verbal sub scale of WPPSI nbsp Projective drawing correlated to of the sub scales assessed by the Performance sub scale fo WPPSI r to Conclusion Psychomotor development in preschoolers is the major predictor of the performance functions of children with hypothyroidism nbsp ve To identify the relationship between the Psychomotor Performance and the Intelligence Quotient in preschoolers diagnosed with Congenital hypothyroidism CH nbsp Methods Transversal study with preschoolers diagnosed with CH Picq and Vayer test PV and Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence WPPSI were used nbsp Pearson s correlation coefficient and analysis of variance were estimated nbsp Results Body schema BS from the PV test showed the highest statistically significant correlation with global IQ nbsp from the WPPSI r verbal IQ VIQ with Language LE r and performance IQ PIQ with BS r Components from the PV test showing significant correlations with verbal sub scale of WPPSI nbsp Projective drawing correlated to of the sub scales assessed by the Performance sub scale fo WPPSI r to nbsp Conclusion Psychomotor development in preschoolers is the major predictor of the performance functions of children with hypothyroidism nbsp Objective To identify the relationship between the Psychomotor Performance and the Intelligence Quotient in preschoolers diagnosed with Congenital hypothyroidism CH nbsp Methods Transversal study with preschoolers diagnosed with CH Picq and Vayer test PV and Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence WPPSI were used nbsp Pearson s correlation coefficient and analysis of variance were estimated nbsp Results Body schema BS from the PV test showed the highest statistically significant correlation with global IQ nbsp from the WPPSI r verbal IQ VIQ with Language LE r and performance IQ PIQ with BS r Components from the PV test showing significant correlations with verbal sub scale of WPPSI nbsp Projective drawing correlated to of the sub scales assessed by the Performance sub scale fo WPPSI r to nbsp Conclusion Psychomotor development in preschoolers is the major predictor of the performance functions of children with hypothyroidism nbsp
