ABSTRACT

The meaning of crawling is a simulation of the movements used by quadrupeds. There are few scientific studies related to crawling but many myths, or which associate crawling with ulterior development. Most of the authors agree that not all the children should crawl. Crawling may be present in different not pathogenic and well-studied variants: creeping, bum shuffling and scooting. There is no relationship between failure to crawl and neurologic or adaptive problems of any kind, although it’s demonstrated that psychomotor programs on a healthy child help to potentiate motor skills and probably they have an impact over intelligence. These centers of “eary stimulatio” propose crawling as an important and essential part of development, without a scientific basis. Also it has not been established an exact age in which the children should start crawling, varying widely from 7 to 10 months.
