Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to develop a support tool using movie image processing for implementing "motor development assessment", to improve the convenience of assessment among preschoolers. It is to understand precisely and to support motor development based on scientific evidence.
From the previous domestic and overseas research reviews, Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition; TGMD-2 (Ulrich, 2000) was selected as an assessment tool of qualitative gross motor ability. Using moving image processing, we developed an assessment support tool and carried out an assessment periodically for 3 years at the preschool child support center. To standardize data, we also started measurement at a nursery school. In order to support development based on scientific evidence, we could visualize the temporal change of gross motor development and perform statistical analysis.
