Overview

Background:
The present tests used for evaluation of motor development are not adequate for physiotherapist requiremnents. They are especially lacking qualitative evaluation of motor skills.

Methods:
The paper analyzes theoretical knowledge concerning the new view of evaluating postural maturity and quality of movements in the course of ontogenesis of motor skills in children of toddler and preschool age. The contribution is aimed to analyze the problems of testing maturity of gross motor skills at early child age from the standpoint of neurophysiology, biocybernetics and kinesiology. The attention is particularly devoted to evaluating the ability of motion differentiation.

Conclusions:
The ability of motion differentiation and intersegmental coordination depends on the level of coactivation of all control mechanisms participating in the resultant intentional motion. It represents the means suitable for qualitative evaluation of motor manifestation.

Key words:
postural strategy, motor development, motion differentiation
