Video-based screening for preschoolers' gross motor development
Video-based Assessment of Preschool Children's Gross Motor Development for Early Intervention Screening
Chang Gung Memorial Hospital · NCT07054437
This project will try using clinic videos and AI to screen gross motor development in children aged 1 to 6 who can walk, to make assessments faster and easier.

What this trial studies
This observational project will collect video recordings of independently walking children aged 1–6 at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and apply machine learning and neural network methods to build an automated gross motor screening tool. Models will be trained on annotated videos using established clinical motor-development norms and compared with standard evaluator observations. The workflow is intended to reduce the time and human resources needed for on-site visual assessment by automating parts of the screening process. Guardians provide written consent and non-native Chinese speakers are excluded to match the study's language and cultural validation needs.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are native Chinese–speaking children aged 1 to 6 who can walk independently and whose legal guardian can provide written consent and attend the Linkou site.
Not a fit: Children who cannot walk independently, are outside the 1–6 age range, or are non-native Chinese speakers are unlikely to benefit from this specific screening tool.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the tool could speed up early detection of motor delays and reduce reliance on specialist time, enabling earlier referral to intervention services.
How similar studies have performed: Prior pilot studies applying AI to pediatric motor assessment have shown promising accuracy, but such approaches remain experimental and need local validation.
