About this study
This study aims to Determine the effect of perceptual-motor training on:
cognitive functions, motor abilities, and quality of life in ADHD children.
Read the detailed description
Thirty children with ADHD from both sexes are enrolled in this study. The selected children are randomly assigned by sealed envelopes into two groups of equal number 15 children for each group. Children in group A (control group) are receiving no treatment. Children in group B (study group) are receiving the perceptual motor training program. Treatment program is applied for 60 minutes three days per week for three successive months. All children will be assessed before and after the treatment program.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
cognitive functions:
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) is individually administered, and has 15 subtests. Each subtest is allocated to either the Verbal Comprehension (VC), Perceptive reasoning (PR), Working memory (WM), or Processing Speed (PS) subscales. The Full-scale IQ is composed of 10 core subtests: three VC (Vocabulary, Similarities, and Comprehension), three PR (Block Design, Picture Concepts, and Matrix Reasoning), two WM (Digit Span and Letter-Number Sequencing), and two PS (Coding and Symbol Search).
As the scoring number increases it means a better outcome.
Measured: 3 month
Secondary outcomes (2)
motor ability
The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition (BOT-2) is used to assess following domains including Body co-ordination which consists of the following subtests: bilateral co-ordination. Balance. and strength and agility which consists of: running speed and agility subtest. Strength subtest.
Measured: 3 month
quality of daily life
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0 (PedsQL) is used for assessing quality of life as it's a multidimensional child self-report and parent proxy-report scales. It includes twenty-three items designed to measure dimensions of physical and psychosocial health as delineated by the world health organization.
As scoring increases it means better outcome.
Measured: 3 month
