“Normal Motor Development in Children” Event from the Physiotherapy Club

The “Normal Motor Development in Children” event, organized by Üsküdar University Physiotherapy Club, was held on December 25, 2025, at the Emir Nebi 2 Hall. At the event, which drew strong student participation, the physical movement skills children acquire from birth and motor development processes were evaluated from a scientific perspective.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Müge Çolakoğlu Özer, who attended the event as a speaker, shared with students the basic stages of motor development in children and the points to watch for during the developmental process. Throughout the program, comprehensive information was provided on how movement skills take shape from infancy to childhood, the processes developmental milestones go through and the importance of motor development for children’s health.

Participants followed with particular interest the explanations on assessing normal motor development processes in children, observing developmental milestones and the importance of early recognition of possible developmental differences. Presentations accompanied by real-life examples and visual materials helped students evaluate the subject more clearly.

Throughout the event, it was emphasized that movement skills hold an important place in child development not only physically but also in terms of cognitive and social development. Participants gained important information about the supportive role of physiotherapy in children’s developmental processes and had the opportunity to ask questions they were curious about.

Attended by approximately 120 students, the event continued interactively with a Q&A session that drew great interest. Students had the opportunity to obtain detailed information on practices and clinical observation processes in pediatric physiotherapy in particular.

The “Normal Motor Development in Children” event held by the Physiotherapy Club was one of the important activities that helped students build their professional knowledge and raised awareness in the field of child development.
