Kids with DCD walk differently when multitasking – new study investigates
NCT ID NCT06400043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 data to better understand DCD.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help researchers better understand how DCD affects walking and multitasking, potentially guiding future therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 23 participants, so findings may not apply to all children with DCD. It does not test any treatment.
