Effects of Task-Oriented Intervention in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder
A study testing Task Oriented Intervention in people with Developmental Coordination Disorder, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
physical coordination is impacted by developmental coordination disorder (DCD), commonly referred to as dyspraxia. It makes a youngster appear to move clumsily and perform worse than expected in everyday tasks for their age. Fine and gross motor coordination issues are a hallmark of this neurodevelopmental disorder. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Effects of Task-oriented Intervention of Upper Limb on Coordination and In-hand Manipulation Among Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder
physical coordination is impacted by developmental coordination disorder (DCD), commonly referred to as dyspraxia. It makes a youngster appear to move clumsily and perform worse than expected in everyday tasks for their age. Fine and gross motor coordination issues are a hallmark of this neurodevelopmental disorder. Task-oriented therapies help children with DCD develop their skills, coordination, and manipulative abilities by including them in intentional, goal-directed tasks. This is noteworthy because a child's quality of life can be greatly impacted by these skills, which are essential for everyday tasks like writing, tying shoelaces, walking, and balance. The purpose of the research is to ascertain how task-oriented upper limb intervention affects children with impaired coordination and hand-eye coordination.
Read the detailed description
The task-oriented intervention aimed at the upper limbs will be administered to the intervention group. For 3 months, interventions were offered 3 days a week.Over the course of 6 months, this quasi-experimental study will be carried out in Lahore. Data will be gathered from the Harbanspura branch of The Punjab School and the Askari School System in Mughalpura. There will be 18 students in the study. The study's inclusion criteria will be children with developmental coordination disorders between the ages of 4 and 12 Youngsters needed to be able to comprehend and adhere to instructions, both boys and girls who scored between 15 and 57 overall on the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire 2007.Children with congenital respiratory, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal disorders, as well as those with unstable seizures, will be excluded. Both before and after the operation, data will be gathered. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2), the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire, and the ABIL HAND KID instrument will be used to assess subjects with developmental coordination disorders.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Task Oriented InterventionBehavioural
Intervention group will recieve task oriented interventions.Throwing and catching balls of different sizes and weights will be done. For writing, a task-oriented approach has 4 phases that will involve writing,correcting and fun writing 30-minute per session. Interventions provided 3 days per week for 3 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in Motor Coordination as Measured by the DCDQ
The DCDQ evaluates changes in motor coordination in children aged 4-16 years based on parent-reported outcomes. It measures three subscales: Control During Movement, Fine Motor/Handwriting, and General Coordination. Scores are collected at pre and post-intervention (3 months), with higher scores indicating improved motor coordination.
Measured: 15 minutes
Changes in Manual Ability Assessed by the ABILHAND-Kids Questionnaire
The ABILHAND-Kids Questionnaire evaluates changes in manual ability and bimanual coordination in daily activities among children with motor impairments. It is a parent-reported measure assessing the ease or difficulty with which a child performs 21 bimanual tasks in their daily life. Scores are collected at baseline (pre-intervention), and post-intervention (3 months), with higher scores indicating improved manual ability and functional performance.
Measured: 10 minutes
