“…Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by impaired motor skills in the absence of neurological injury, given a child's chronological age and previous opportunities for skill acquisition (DSM-V: American Psychiatric Association, 2013). It affects approximately 5% of school-aged children (Mandich and Polatajko, 2003; range between 1.8% and 8% depending on the selection criteria; for reviews see Biotteau et al, 2020;Gomez and Sirigu, 2015;Zwicker et al, 2012), and persists through adulthood (e.g. Cantell et al, 2003;Cousins and Smyth, 2003;Losse et al, 1991;Rasmussen and Gillberg, 2000), thus considerably impacting academic and life achievements (e.g.…”

“…DCD is a relatively rarely diagnosed disorder in children in Poland. The prevalence of DCD varies between 5 and 6%, and there are even indications that this number reaches even 8% (1,2,19,20). This may be due to the low awareness of the nature of this disorder, even among healthcare professionals.…”

“…Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) has been classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders V (DSM-V) [1,2]. According to the medical classification DSM-V, developmental coordination disorder is a significant impairment of the development of motor coordination and motor skills, which significantly affects the achievement of school and daily duties/tasks/activities.…”

“…Among them, the most important are problems with speech and communication, perception (most of them present disorders in the field of sensory integration), abstract or logical thinking [6]. The postural control of these children is poor, there are difficulties with balance, problems in the area of fine and gross motor skills [2]. The discussed disorders, subtly beginning and generally referred to as motor clumsiness, such as a "snowball", induce serious problems with achieving individual stages of education [7] (due to problems with memory, concentration, among others), with social contacts, establishing relationships, starting a family, or mental health [8].…”

Introduction: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects from about 6% to even 8% of children. In Poland, this disorder is still very rarely diagnosed despite the existing motor problems in children. This may be due to a lack of awareness and knowledge about DCD. Education in this direction is recommended. Diagnostic criteria The DSM-V include: the achievement of motor skills manifested by clumsiness is inadequate to age, the influence of motor difficulties on the activities of daily living, the onset of symptoms in the early period, and the lack of explanation of the motor deficits present by disability. Aim: The study aimed to screen children for early symptoms of motor disorders characteristic of Developmental Coordination Disorder. It was assessed whether there are correlations between the results of the ABC-2 and BOT-2 motor tests and the results of the mini-golf set created for the study. Material and methods: 200 primary school children were tested using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition (ABC-2), Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition (BOT-2) motor tests and a mini-golf set designed for the study. The obtained results were subject to statistical analysis. Results: The ABC-2 test showed that 87.5% of children had no motor difficulties. On the other hand, the remaining 12.5% have motor difficulties. In the results of the BOT 2-58%, there are no difficulties or they are insignificant, and significant difficulties are presented in 42%. The greater the overall BOT 2 score, the greater the average impact force. Additionally, it has been noticed that the larger the Aiming and Catching is, the lower the Average Impact Force. And the greater the Fine Manual Control, the lower the Average Ball Speed and Average Stroke Force. Conclusions: The difficulties examined in parametric tests are confirmed by the difficulties of the subjects with mini-golf. Thanks to the game of minigolf on a specially prepared field, you can explore; the number of strokes to place the ball in the hole, average ball speed, average impact force, the force of hitting the ball with the dominant and non-dominant upper limb. The assessed parameters can be used for the motor screening assessment of children.

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a pathological condition characterized by impaired motor skills. Current theories advance that a deficit of the internal models is mainly responsible for DCD children's altered behavior. Yet, accurate movement execution requires not only correct movement planning, but also integration of sensory feedback into body representation for action to update the state of the body. Here we advance and test the hypothesis that the plasticity of body representations is altered in DCD. To probe Body Representations (BR) plasticity, we submitted a well-established tool-use paradigm to seventeen DCD children, required to reach for an object with their hand before and after tool use, and compared their movement kinematics to that of a control group of Typically Developing (TD) peers. We also asked both groups to provide explicit estimates of their arm length. Results revealed that DCD children explicitly judged their arm shorter after tool use, similarly to their TD peers. Unlike them, though, DCD did not update their implicit BR estimate: kinematics showed that tool-use affected their peak amplitudes, but not their latencies. Remarkably, the kinematics of tool use showed that the motor control of the tool was comparable between groups, both improving with practice, confirming that motor learning abilities are preserved in DCD. These findings indicate that the update of the BR for action is impaired in DCD, suggesting a novel deficit may contribute to this pathology. Further studies are needed to tease apart the possible role played by motor and body representations deficits in DCD.
