Although several studies have addressed neuropsychomotor outcomes in CS, the lack of consolidated estimates of motor delay prevalence represents a relevant scientific gap, which motivated the present study. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of motor development delay in children with CS. Seven electronic databases, gray literature sources, and reference lists of included studies were systematically searched. Observational studies reporting quantitative data on motor performance in children with CS, assessed using standardized instruments, were included. Risk of bias was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Checklist for Prevalence Studies. A total of 8 studies published between 2001 and 2024, involving 510 children with CS, were included. The samples were predominantly non-syndromic, although one study included a small syndromic subgroup (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20098).
