Can movement predict daily skills? study eyes link in kids with severe ID
NCT ID NCT07358143
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 227 orphaned children aged 6-12 with severe intellectual disability to see if their gross motor skills (like running and throwing) are linked to everyday abilities such as dressing, communicating, and socializing. Researchers tested motor skills with a standard movement test and asked caregivers about daily functioning. The goal was to find out if motor tests could help identify kids who need extra support with daily tasks.
