introduction: previous studies have emphasized the importance of early detection of children with developmental coordination disorder (dcd) to prevent the development of secondary academic, emotional and social manifestations of the disorder. a better understanding of these issues is the need for a valid measurement tool. parent report has the potential for providing historical knowledge of the...

putative activity of hydroalcoholic and aqueous infusion extracts of echium amoenum l. was investigated in mice using the rotarod model of motor coordination and the elevated plus maze model of anxiety. the extracts were administered intraperitonealy (i.p.) once, one hour before performing the tests. preliminary phytochemical study of the plant, with standard procedures, showed that it contains...

the purpose of this research was to determine the effects of perceptual motor training on improving the motor abilities of children with developmental coordination disorder. a total of 194 male and female elementary school students (aged between 6 and 11) were selected from three regions of tehran and participated voluntarily in this study. the subjects were randomly assigned to two groups of e...

Motor coordination is realized by the nervous system at different levels. Concepts about the coordination within a limb define the controlled parameter in cartesian or joint space, whereas concepts about the coordination between limbs stress the temporal control of schemas. Motor deficits of neurological patients point to the role of the different motor areas in motor coordination.

conclusions results of the current study showed that at preschool stage girls had higher performance compared to boys in fine motor skills and at preschool stage boys had significantly higher performance compared to girls in gross motor skills. hence, it seems to be necessary to train preschool authorities in teaching fine and gross motor skills, considering the gender. patients and methods the...

introduction: attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity - impulsivity behavior. adhd is frequently accompanied by developmental coordination disorder (dcd). motor coordination is a complex performance of interaction between visual perceptual, neuromuscular coordination, memory, attention and balance. one of the most important p...
