Étude comparative de la dyspraxie : évaluation neuropsychologique d’enfants porteurs d’une dyspraxie développementale ou consécutive à la prématurité

Attentional and executive functions in children and adolescents with developmental coordination disorder and the influence of comorbid disorders: A systematic review of the literature

“…The two other studies did not find any significant difference between performance of children with DCD or DD and TD controls or normative data [ 66 , 74 ]. However, it seems that children with dyspraxia following preterm birth had significantly poorer scores on a visual attention task than children with DD, a difference that may be due to sequalae related to prematurity rather than dyspraxia [ 74 ]. In addition, both studies that assessed auditive selective attention in children with DCD reported no deficit [ 46 , 74 ].…”

In addition, both studies that assessed auditive selective attention in children with DCD reported no deficit [ 46 , 74 ]. Even though the results of both studies are consistent, note that the study by Toussaint-Thorin et al [ 46 ] was the one qualified as low quality and, for this reason, their results should be considered cautiously.…”

“…Two studies compared children’s performance on nonverbal and verbal measures [ 47 , 65 ], while six considered general planning abilities [ 46 , 72 – 74 , 80 , 92 ]. Among the six articles that discussed planning irrespective of the task’s modality, only one reported no deficit on this ability compared to normative data [ 74 ], while the other five reported significantly poorer performance in children with DCD in comparison to TD children [ 46 , 72 , 73 , 80 , 92 ]. One of these five studies was however rated as low quality [ 46 ].…”

“…Nonverbal fluency . All three studies reported difficulties in children with DCD compared to normative data or control groups [ 47 , 57 , 74 ]. Children with MD without DCD were at par with children with DCD, both groups showing poorer performance than TD children [ 47 ].…”

Le geste : aspects normaux et troubles développementaux

“…En effet, lorsque la pré-maturité est à l'origine de la dyspraxie (causalité neurologique patente), cette proportion en (dé-) faveur des garçons disparaît (Barray et al, 2008).…”
