Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue entitled “Different Views on a Child's Motor Development and Motor Performance”.
The motor development of a child remains the focus of studies by many researchers. Changes in motor development over time and the impact of various risk factors on them provide more and more information about therapeutic options, treatment, and prognosis for independent functioning. A child as a patient is under multidisciplinary medical, physiotherapeutic, psychological and pedagogical care, therefore, it seems very interesting to look at the issue comprehensively from the perspective of various disciplines.
This Special Issue titled “Different views on a child's motor development and motor performance” will gather information on diagnostic and therapeutic options, as well as the impact of various risk factors on the motor development of children from the neonatal period to the teenage period.
Scope: For specialists dealing with children (medical, physiotherapists, psychologists, or educators) investigating the very process of motor development and disorders resulting from the disease and analyzing the influence of various risk factors. We are seeking papers by scientists from around the world in an open access form, both original papers and high-quality reviews.
The novelty of the content and suitability for this Special Issue will be checked in the first instance, so you are welcome to send me the title and a short abstract for evaluation before submission. The final decision will be made based on at least two review reports.
Dr. Ewa Gajewska
Guest Editor
