Sažetak
Neuromotor development is a progressive process of acquiring motor, psychological (cognitive, linguistic, emotional), and social skills. It is predictable, gradual, and follows a certain regularity in chronological terms. Normal neuromotor development includes permitted time spans within which the child acquires certain motor, psychological and social skills. Milestones of development (key events, cornerstones) mark the time when a child needs to acquire a certain skill. They are the best markers of developmental processes used for monitoring children's development. Child's neuromotor development is monitored after birth by observing the child in the supine and prone position, in the phases of verticalization and movement in space. Deviation and delay in proper child development are most often the result of brain damage. Numerous prenatal, perinatal and postnatal risk factors can cause damage to the developing brain. Neurorisk children are those who have been exposed to risk factors. Early indicators of the immature brain are the spontaneous movements of the fetus, which are called "general movements" (GMs). They appear in the 9th week of pregnancy and gradually disappear when the infant is 3 to 4 months old and then they switch to voluntary-conscious motor skills. At each age, GMs are presented with a certain complexity, variety, and finesse of movement transitions. The quality of the mentioned parameters classifies GMs into normal optimal, normal suboptimal, slightly abnormal, and clearly abnormal movements. Each child is unique in its own way and develops according to its own rhythm
within physiological frameworks. Differences in neuromotor development among children are present due to genetic, cultural, social, environmental, and other factors. The key to recognizing the deviations and delays from proper neuromotor development is knowing the proper growth and development of children.
