Filter by:This study will leverage a current longitudinal study of brain development in preterm children. In the Miller/Grunau Trajectories study, preterm children are returning for follow-up at 8-9 years. At this appointment, children undergo MRI and neurodevelopmental testing. Children who are identified with DCD at this appointment will be invited to participate in this intervention study. Participants will have a 2nd MRI 12 weeks after the first scan. They will then receive 12 weekly sessions with an occupational therapist, followed by a third MRI. Children with DCD who were born very preterm (<32 weeks gestational age) who are not part of the Miller/Grunau study are also eligible to participate.
Dizziness (BPPV) causes severe deterioration in quality of life, incoordination, and instability. In the study, we selected a minimum of 100 patients with BPPV who were examined after specialist care. After the acute phase, a physical survey is performed where movement and coordination are examined. After the results, the patients undergo a rehabilitation training. The workout is submaximal and high intensity that is done for 3 weeks. Hypothesis: As a result of training, it is possible that the remaining feeling of dizziness and insecurity, impaired coordination will decrease or disappear.
It is a study where investigators are going to measure variables related to motor development and vision through objective tests in children with typical development of two years of age.
Experimental study based on the effectiveness of motor imagery and task-oriented training over the motor competence in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). A bilateral hypothesis is assumed for the clinical trial: - Null hypothesis: physiotherapeutic intervention programs through motor imagery combined with task-oriented training DO NOT modify the parameters of motor competence, anxiety and participation in children susceptible to observation of DCD. - Alternative hypothesis: physiotherapeutic intervention programs through motor imagery combined with task-oriented training MODIFY the parameters of motor competence, anxiety and participation in children susceptible to observation of DCD.
There is no current research to support the efficacy of a combination of equine-assisted activities (EAA) and brain building activities to influence motor skill competencies in youth with neurodevelopmental disorders (ND). The primary objective of this study was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 8 weeks of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND. A secondary objective was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 1 year of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND.
This study compares motor development in three groups of infants (controls, DCD, DCD+ASD) before the age of 2 years using retrospective video analysis of infants in home video contexts.
Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of a novel elastic taping-augmented functional movement power training (KT-FMPT) program in improving leg muscular performance, body balance, motor proficiency and functional independence in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Methodology: In this clinical trial, twenty children with DCD (aged 6-12) will be randomly assigned to either a KT-FMPT group or a placebo control group. Children in the KT-FMPT and control groups will receive elastic taping-augmented FMPT and general jogging exercise with non-elastic taping, respectively, for 12 weeks (2 hours/week). Major outcome measures: body balance and leg muscle activity will be measured via muscle sensors along with a force platform. Secondary outcome measures: leg muscle strength, motor proficiency and functional independence will be assessed by a digital dynamometer, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, respectively (before- and after-intervention measurements). Significance: The KT-FMPT group is predicted to display much better muscular and motor performances than the control group. This novel training program can be readily adopted in clinical, school, or home settings to improve functional independence in children with DCD, an outcome with positive socioeconomic implications. Moreover, study findings will inspire future research work in children with other childhood-onset disabilities.
To evaluate, in primary care, the sensitivity of Heterophory-Vertical-Labile (HV-Labile) in ambulatory screening for Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). in children aged 8 to 12 years.
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a child's ability to learn motor skills, such as tying shoelaces, learning to print, or riding a bicycle (APA 2013). It often co-occurs with other conditions, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Its high co-occurrence with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has only been permitted since 2013 so it is less well known. Recent neuroimaging studies have begun to unravel the neural underpinnings of each disorder; however, few brain imaging studies have included children with co-occurring DCD and ASD. The first aim of the proposed project is to understand brain structure and function in children with DCD+/-ASD. Despite high co-occurrence of DCD and ASD (Green 2009), motor impairment and functional problems are rarely the focus of therapy for children with ASD. Current best-practice for improving motor function is an approach called Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance (CO-OP). The second aim of this study is to examine effectiveness of this treatment approach for children with DCD+ASD and determine if there are brain changes and improvements in motor skills as a result of intervention. This novel project is the first to integrate brain imaging and motor-based rehabilitation in this population and builds on a current study examining brain changes in children with DCD (with and without co-occurring ADHD). Examining the neural basis of these motor difficulties in the presence or absence of co-occurring conditions will help to determine the neural correlates specific to DCD and whether the response to treatment differs in children with co-occurring conditions.
The purpose of this study is to create a rehabilitation program for children who survived posterior fossa tumors using the latest technology. Supposed that training in Fitlight, Dynavision D2, NeuroTracker will improve executive functions, visual-motor integration, fine and gross motor functions.
