Premature Birth Clinical Trial
Official title:
Developmental Coordination Disorder in Preterm Children: Examining Brain Changes With CO-OP Intervention
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.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) | Children will rate performance and satisfaction (10 point Likert scale) of their three motor goals. The OT calculates an average COPM performance score and satisfaction score. These typically range between 1 and 10, and 1 indicates poor performance and low satisfaction, respectively, while 10 indicates very good performance and high satisfaction. A change of 2 points indicates a clinically significant change. | 12 weeks | |
Primary | Diffusion Tensor Imaging | Fractional anisotrophy and diffusivity (mean, axial and radial) | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Bruininks Osteretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2) | Standardized assessment of motor skills. The investigators will measures fine and gross motor skills using the short form of the BOT-2 which assesses 14 items divided between fine manual control, manual coordination, body coordination, and strength/agility. The results are both Standard Score and Percentile Rank. The higher percentile means better motor skills. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) | Qualitative observations of movement quality. An independent occupational therapist blinded to the intervention will score the motor performance using the Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) which is composed of Part A, a 10-point performance rating scale to rate actual performance, and Part B, an 11-point magnitude of change scale to rate differences in performance between pre- and post-intervention (down to -5 for worse performance, 0 for no change, and up to +5 for improved performance). A higher change score indicates more improvement. An increase of 3 points is considered clinically significant. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Functional connectivity | Spatial independent components analysis of resting state networks | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Functional magnetic resonance imaging | Patterns of brain activation during mental rotation task | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Morphometry (brain volume) | White matter, cortical gray matter, deep gray matter, and total volumes for cerebrum and cerebellum | 12 weeks |
