Clinical Trial Summary

Developmental delay occurs when a child does not achieve developmental milestones in comparison to peers of the same age range. Children and adolescents with developmental delay often experience participation restrictions. Visual motor integration (VMI) is the ability of the child's hands and eyes to work together to guide their movements. Visual motor integration is a broad term encompasses cognitive as well as manual domains. This study will focused on the Manual Dexterity and intra-limb coordination (VMI). And it will evaluate the effects of adaptive physical activity on Visual Motor Integration. Adaptive physical activities (APAs) are exercises and games that have been specially designed to fulfil the unique needs and skills of special needs or developmental delays.


Description:

Randomized control trial will be conducted with sample size 30, used to compare the effectiveness of adaptive physical activity on visual motor integration in children with developmental delay. subjects with developmental delay meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using non-probability convenient sampling. pre and post assessment will be done by Box and Block Test, Box and Ball Test, Discrete horizontal finger tapping test, Discrete vertical finger tapping with ball and continuous Vertical tapping with ball. subjects in group A will receive Baseline therapy and conventional therapy and group B will receive baseline therapy and adaptive physical activity.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Box and Block Test (BBT) A frequently used assessment test, the Box and Block Test, measure manual dexterity and functional ability, mainly in those with upper limb disabilities. This test measures the capacity to handle items and carry out tasks that call for fine motor abilities(47). 150 tiny wood cubic blocks (1-inch) plus a box with two compartments separated by a wooden wall make up the BBT. 2.5 cm wooden block on each side and a wooden box (53.7 x 25.4 cm) separated into two compartments by a wall 15.2 cm high were the materials used to evaluate the BB test. The BBT entails moving as many little blocks as possible, one at a time, from the compartment on the tested side to the other with the same hand, being careful to cross over the gap. The number of blocks that are correctly shifted in 60 seconds is used to calculate the score 12 weeks
Primary Box and ball test ( BBT) The BBLT followed the same procedure as the BBTs. The sole modification was that the BBLT evaluated the quantity of boccia balls rather than blocks. Due to the size of the compartments, only six balls could fit inside at once. It will be necessary to have two researchers, one at each end of the table. 12 weeks
Primary discrete horizontal finger tapping test (DHFTT) This test used to measure the intra-limb coordination of upper limb.Participants will sit on their chairs and will be placed parallel to a table, at 10 cm from the edge of the tapping plates. The table will be adjusted so that the bottom of the table will be aligned with the players' hips (greater trochanter), and the shoulders of the players' throwing arms with the plate A (start position). Participants will asked to place their non-throwing arm across their chest and keep their throwing hand closed with the index finger extended To complete the test, participants will need to complete 10 tapping cycles, reporting their performance as the average score of the 10 tapping cycles. A cycle was composed of the participants releasing from plate A to hit the plate B (finish position) as fast as possible. The plates were displaced horizontally, and the distance between both plates' centers was 30 cm. The metal plates were 30 cm long by 20 cm wide. 12 weeks
Primary Discrete vertical tapping test with ball this test used to measure the intra-limb coordination. The plates will be arranged vertically in an "L" shape (90°), where plate A will be kept on horizontal but plate B will be placed on the vertical edge .The distance between both plates' centers will be 30 cm, like in the DHFTT, and the two tests will use the same protocol. 12 weeks
Primary continuous vertical tapping test with ball this test used to measure the intra-limb coordination of upper limb. Participants will perform a continuous movement consisting of grasping the ball and hitting plates A and B alternatively as fast as possible within 1 min. Ball contact could be made on any part of the plates. 12 weeks
