The ability to modulate bilateral finger tapping in time to different frequencies of an auditory beat was studied. Twenty children, 7 years of age, 10 with and 10 without developmental coordination disorder (DCD), and 10 adults tapped their left index and right middle fingers in an alternating pattern in time with an auditory signal for 15s (four trials each, randomly, at 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2 Hz ...

BACKGROUND The long term consequences of low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth, small-for-gestational age (SGA, defined as birth weight for given gestational age less than the 10th percentile of the reference), and early newborn morbidity on functional outcomes are not well described in low income settings. METHODS In rural Nepal, we conducted neurocognitive assessment of children (n = 1927) ...

In the this study, both fine and gross motor ability of males with attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were compared with a group of control children. Three groups of males with the following ADHD subtypes: predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI; n = 50), hyperactive/impulsive (ADHD-HI; n = 16), or combined (ADHD-C; n = 38) were compared with 39 control males. Mean ages for the control ...

According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model endorsed by the World Health Organization, participation in everyday activities is integral to normal child development. However, little is known about the influence of motor ability and weight status on physical activity participation in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). This study ...

The decreased participation in physical activity by children with probable developmental coordination disorder (pDCD) has raised concerns about their aerobic fitness and lung function levels. The purpose of the present study was to examine assessment of cardiorespiratory and neuromotor fitness, using laboratory-based tests during an incremental treadmill protocol in healthy children with and wi...

The origin of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) has not been clarified yet. DCD is considered as a movement disorder that may strongly affect child’s Activities Daily Living (ADL). Reliable evaluation tools for young are importantly useful. This study aimed to translate and validate the Questionnaire (DCDDaily-Q) into Greek. current validation reports on translation, cultural adaptation...
