| Résumé : |
A total of 127 children with profound mental retardation were reviewed to determine the age at which walking began. 53 per cent of the children walked at a median age of 30 months. Further sub-classification revealed that both the number of ambulatory children and their age at walking varied with degree of neurological handicap, children with additional neurological problems having a higher median age for beginning to walk. The minimal cognitive level required for walking remains unknown, but is probably less than generally accepted. In this profoundly retarded population, the existence of neurological factors was associated with both increased age at walking and with decreased ability to walk. |
