Hladíková, Kristina ; Bartlová, Petra (advisor) ; Žiaková, Elena (referee)
The main objective: The aim of the work was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative differences in psychomotor development between twins within a sibling pair of twins and to find out whether the twins are more similar in reaching motor milestones compared to other children. Another goal was to find out whether monozygotic twins are more identical in development compared to dizygotic. It was further investigated whether the achievement of motor milestones between children with low and very low birth weight and normal birth weight differs. The study examined in which motor milestone the siblings differ the most and also whether the twins develop according to the ideal motor development. Methods: During the first year of life, 6 pairs of twins were observed. To participate in the study, the twins had to be maximum of 3 months old according to corrected age. The exclusion criterion was only a serious developmental defect. The examination of the children took place at thein homes in the 3rd, 6th, 8th week, in 3 months and then every month for up to one year. Parents were asked about basic anamnestic data (eg. birth weight, zygosity etc.). During the observation, photo- and video-documentation of the children during spontaneous movement was taken. In children, the quantitative achievement of 14...
