NCT ID NCT06400043
First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at how children aged 7 to 17 with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) walk, especially when they have to do another task at the same time, like a thinking game or moving their arms. Researchers will compare their walking patterns to those of typically developing children using a special treadmill that tracks movement. The goal is to better understand how DCD affects walking and multitasking, which could help improve future therapies.
