Developmental coordination disorder

This study compares obstacle course training and neuromotor task training in 28 children aged 7-10 with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Both programs run twice a week for 9 weeks and aim to improve motor planning and functional mobility. Researchers will measure skills…

This study tests whether Ayre's Sensory-Motor Integration Exercises, a type of play therapy, can help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) improve their sensory processing and motor skills. The trial will involve 28 children aged 9-11, with half receiving 12 sessions of t…

This study tests a portable robotic device called PhiCube that helps children aged 4 to 18 with neuromotor disorders (like cerebral palsy) or coordination difficulties improve arm movement. The device uses games to make therapy fun, with 30 sessions over 3 months. Researchers wil…

This study tests whether a playful 'Animal Fun' program can improve motor skills in 40 children aged 6 to 12 with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Kids are split into two groups: one does the Animal Fun activities, the other does daily physical play. After six weeks, re…

This study looks at how children aged 7 to 17 with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) walk while also doing a thinking task or a moving task. Researchers will compare their walking patterns to those of typically developing children. The goal is to gather detailed movement …

This study looks at how children and adults with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) sense touch and body position, and how they update their body image when using tools. Researchers will compare 280 participants with and without DCD to see if sensory deficits explain motor…

This study watches how babies move in their first months to see if it predicts their development later. Researchers will video-record preterm and full-term infants and score their movements. When the children turn 18 and 36 months old, parents will fill out a questionnaire about …

This study looks at whether a regular beat in music helps children with cerebral palsy and typical development learn dance moves. Researchers will teach 68 kids a short dance with and without a steady rhythm, then check how well they remember it. The goal is to understand if rhyt…

This study observes how preschool boys with and without motor difficulties catch a moving pendulum. Researchers measure movement timing and accuracy to understand how children plan and adjust their actions. The goal is to improve early diagnosis and support for kids with coordina…

This study looks at how children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) learn balance tasks using virtual reality. Researchers will measure movement patterns and brain activity during a 30-minute session and again after one week. The goal is to understand diff…
