| Sumario: | Psychomotor development influences in a relevant way the strengthening of basic learning skills such as: reading, writing, performing artistic and sporting activities. In Ecuador, specifically in Manabí province, there are few investigations in this area, which hinders the possibilities of their successful intervention. In this descriptive study which objective is to determine the index and typology of the psychomotor alterations in boys and girls from the elementary basic level in three public schools of Jaramijó, 569 students were investigated in ages between 5 and 8 years old (median = 6.5; DST = 1.15). Víctor Da Fonseca's psychomotor battery was used to measure psychomotor performance. In the analysis of the data, the statistical tool SPSS version 23.0 was used; it detected a high incidence of conditions in the fine Praxis, global praxis, structuring temporal space, balance, tonicity and notion of the body. Minor alteration manifested in laterality. There is no significant difference between boys and girls on the type or rate of psychomotor disorders (t =. 810; df = 567; p =. 418). It is concluded that there is an important delay in the psychomotor development in the studied population. Personalized attention is required to stimulate those skills and prevent diseases at more advanced ages. The deficiency in preventive health services, and the low level of instruction of parents affected negatively the processes of integral development in these critical ages. |
