Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: The Effects of Combined Intervention on Motor Coordination, Occupational Performance, and Quality of Life

The Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy Handwriting Intervention for Children with Motor Coordination Issues: A Systematic Review

“…Level of evidence in the included articles for this review ranged from Level II to IV. Five articles were randomised control trials studies with clearly defined clinical presentation of participants (level II evidence) (Coutinho et al 2017;Farhat et al 2016b;Mcglashan et al 2017;Tse, Thanapalan & Chan 2014a;Waelvelde et al 2017), two articles were pre-post quasi experiment studies with reference standard of comparator groups participants (level III evidence) (Snappchilds, Mon-williams & Bingham 2012;Thornton et al 2016) and three articles were pre-post studies without comparator group (level IV evidence) (Baldi, Nunzi & Brina 2015;Dunford 2011;Kaiser 2013). (n=3).…”

“…From the review, three studies (n=3) did not have any comparator group (Baldi, Nunzi & Brina 2015;Dunford 2011;Kaiser 2013), three studies (n=3) made comparison to typically developing children (Farhat, Hsairi, Baati, Smits-engelsman et al 2016;Snapp-childs et al 2012;Tse et al 2014) and four other studies (n=4) compared the effectiveness of intervention tested with other control treatment. The presence of comparator groups is very crucial to account for differences in intervention provision.…”

“…Most of the interventions were applied individually on a one-on-one basis, except for one study (n=1) that employed group-based intervention (Farhat et al 2016a). Additionally, two studies (n=2) combined more than one intervention target component such as combining motor with cognitive skills (Dunford 2011) or combining motor skills with sensory, perceptual and self-confidence skills (Kaiser 2013). Table 4 There were a few studies that used occupational models of performance such as the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) (Dunford 2011;Kaiser 2013;Thornton et al 2016).…”

All of the measures used in the selected articles were standardised and provide valid evident to measure handwriting skills.…”

Pengaruh Gross Motoric Training terhadap Kemampuan Koordinasi Motorik pada Anak Developmental Coordination Disorder di SLBN Surakarta

“…Anak-anak dengan diagnosis DCD menggunakan lebih banyak aktivitas menggunakan otot di sekitar pinggul dan bahu dibandingkan anakanak normal dengan usia yang sama (Kaiser, 2013). Mereka menggunakan 'strategi fiksasi' persendian selama aktivitas yang mengharuskan menstabilkan satu sendi atau bagian tubuh sehingga bagian lain dapat dipindahkan dengan kontrol yang lebih baik, sehingga hal ini menyebabkan gerakan menjadi kaku dan kikuk ( Missiuna et al, 2011).…”
