Developmental Coordination Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Improving Mental Attention, Timing of Muscle Activation and Reactive Balance Control in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of EEG biofeedback mental attention-neuromuscular
training (AT-NMT), neuromuscular training (NMT) alone, EEG biofeedback mental attention
training (AT) alone, and no intervention for improving reactive balance performance among
children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD).
Design: A single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial. Sample: 172 children with
DCD. Interventions: AT-NMT, NMT, AT, or no intervention for 12 weeks. Major outcomes:
Outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. A motor
control test (MCT) will give a composite latency score, prefrontal cortex EEG recordings
during MCT will measure the mental attention level, and surface electromyography recordings
during MCT will indicate the lower limb muscle onset latency.
Hypothesis: The Investigators hypothesize that the reactive balance performance in children
with DCD can be best improved by treating both their mental attention and neuromuscular
deficits.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of AT-NMT, NMT alone, AT alone, and no intervention
for improving reactive balance performance among children with DCD.

DCD. Interventions: AT-NMT, NMT, AT, or no intervention for 12 weeks. Major outcomes:

control test (MCT) will give a composite latency score, prefrontal cortex EEG recordings
during MCT will measure the mental attention level, and surface electromyography recordings
during MCT will indicate the lower limb muscle onset latency.
Anticipated results and clinical significance: Children with DCD who receive AT-NMT will
have the best reactive balance performance outcomes. If the results are positive, this novel
training regime can be readily adopted in clinical practice. AT-NMT will improve overall
well-being in these children and have positive socio-economic implications such as shorter
rehabilitation periods and reduced healthcare costs.
