School-aged children born with oesophageal atresia remain at risk for persistent motor impairments. Encouraging sports participation is recommended, and further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms of motor impairment.
Summary
- Children born with oesophageal atresia are at increased risk for impaired motor function and reduced physical fitness.
- Overall motor performance remained significantly below the norm throughout childhood across all motor domains, with sports participation and not having undergone thoracotomy identified as positive predictors.
- Encouraging sports participation is strongly recommended, along with further research to better understand the underlying mechanisms of motor impairment.
