Clinical Trial Summary

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to investigate balance in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder compared to normal subjects. Furthermore, it studied the relationship between their balance and the total percentile scores of the ADHD Rating Scale IV.

Description:

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to investigate balance in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder contrasted to normal subjects. Furthermore, it studied the relationship between their balance and the total percentile scores of ADHD Rating Scale-IV.

Design: The study was a cross-sectional design. Methods: Sixty children were involved in this research from both sexes (42 boys and 18 girls) with age ranged from 60 to 84 months. They were subdivided into two groups based on the ADHD Rating Scale-IV. The control group included 30 normally developed children from both sexes (20 boys and 10 girls) with a mean age of 67.53 ± 1.41 months, and the total percentile scores of ADHD Rating Scale-IV ≤ 50. The study group comprised of 30 children from both sexes (22 boys and 8 girls) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with a mean age of 68.60 ± 4.62 months. The total percentile scores of ADHD Rating ScaleIV were ≥ 93. Both groups were investigated for their balance by Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS).
