Lead sponsor: Cairo University
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2023-07-17
Enrollment: 600
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 4
Maximum age (years): 6
Standard ages: CHILD
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Observational model: OTHER
Time perspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL
Sampling method: PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: Subjects will be selected from kindergartens.Subjects will be divided into two subgroups according to region . Each subgroup will be divided into two subgroups according to age and will contain 150 children.

Brief summary: The goal of this type of study: observational study is to compare motor development between urban and rural regions in pre-school age children. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is there difference in gross motor development of normal children aged from four to six years between urban and rural areas?
* Is there difference in fine motor development of normal children aged from four to six years between urban and rural areas?

Participants will be asked to perform tasks of bruininks-oseretsky test of motor proficiency, second edition.

Researchers will compare urban group and rural group to see if there is any difference in motor development.
