Oportunidades de ação no ambiente domiciliar para o desenvolvimento motor infantil: revisão integrativa

Objective. To analyze the correlation between the opportunities for action of the home environment for motor development, child motor development and socioeconomic factors. Method. An integrative review of the literature, in the databases: SCIELO, LILACS and MEDLINE, using the descriptors: “affordances”, “child development”, “motor development” and “environment” applied in combination with each other, with the help of the Boolean operator “AND”. Articles published in Portuguese and English were selected, as well as original articles available in full and online, published between March 2020 and April 2025. Results. A total of 109 articles were found, of which 82 were excluded because they were review articles, duplicates, or incomplete. Six were read in full, and the three articles were selected according to the research objective. All three articles used the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Baby Scale (AHEMD-IS) questionnaire; most of the categories were classified as “Moderately adequate”. In the three articles, no significant correlation was found between opportunities for action at home, motor development, and socioeconomic factors. Conclusion. The opportunities for motor development at home appear to be correlated with the child's motor development and the family's socioeconomic profile. However, due to the heterogeneity of the methodologies of the studies analyzed, no significant correlations were found.
