“…Similarly, treatment with stimulant medication improved handwriting (Flapper et al 2006) and overall motor performance in children with ADHD and/or DCD on the Motor Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) (Flapper et al 2006;Bart et al 2010) and the Motor Function Neurological Assessment (MFNU) (Stray et al 2009b), although balance was not improved by stimulants (Bart et al 2006). Other studies similarly found that larger motor skills (as measured by the Test of Gross Motor Development-2) were less affected by stimulant medication treatment (Harvey et al 2007). …”

The use of quantitative neuroimaging (volumetry), motor, and oculomotor assessments for studying children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has grown dramatically in the past 20 years. Most evidence to date suggests that anomalous basal ganglia development plays an important role in early manifestation of ADHD; however, widespread cerebellar and cortical delays are also observed and are associated with the behavioral (cognitive, motor, oculomotor) phenotype in children with ADHD. These motor and "executive" control systems appear to develop in parallel, such that both systems display a similar protracted developmental trajectory, with periods of rapid growth in elementary years and continued maturation into young adulthood. Development of each system is dependent on the functional integrity and maturation of related brain regions, suggesting a shared neural circuitry that includes frontostriatal systems and the cerebellum (i.e., those identified as anomalous in studies of volumetry in ADHD). Motor and oculomotor paradigms provide unique opportunities to examine executive control processes that exist at the interface between movement and cognition in children with ADHD, also linking cognition and neurological development. The observed pattern of volumetric differences, together with the known parallel development of motor and executive control systems, appears to predict motor and oculomotor anomalies in ADHD, which are highly relevant, yet commonly overlooked in clinical settings.

“…Da mesma forma, Harvey et al (2007), ao investigarem os efeitos do Metilfenidato na atenção e nas habilidades de beisebol em 17 meninos, entre 7,8 a 9,9 anos de idade, utilizando um grupo controle e placebo para fins de comparação, concluíram que o Metilfenidato teve um efeito significativo sobre as medidas de atenção, mas não sobre as medidas de desempenho motor, demonstrando que as crianças com TDAH podem estar em risco de atraso no desenvolvimento das habilidades motoras fundamentais, já que todas as do respectivo grupo foram significativamente diferentes de seus pares sem o transtorno.…”

RESUMO:O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a influência do Metilfenidato no desempenho motor de crianças com Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade. Foram selecionadas 21 crianças, de 7 a 10 anos, provenientes de três escolas municipais de Maringá (PR), de ambos os gêneros, com diagnóstico clínico confirmado de TDAH, sendo as mesmas submetidas a duas avaliações do desenvolvimento motor, utilizando o instrumento "Movement Assessment Battery for Children", em dois momentos distintos, com e sem a utilização do Metilfenidato. Os respectivos testes motores foram realizados no próprio ambiente escolar e os resultados foram bastante diversificados, sendo que na destreza manual os escores não sofreram modificação com e sem utilização do medicamento, nas habilidades de lançar e receber houve uma diminuição na pontuação do teste com o uso do fármaco, enquanto em relação ao equilíbrio observou-se o inverso. Dessa forma, mediante a pequena amostra investigada, mais pesquisas são necessárias visando explorar os efeitos dose-resposta da correspondente medicação em diferentes atividades físicas ou contextos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: EFFECTS OF METHYLPHENIDATE IN THE MOTOR PERFORMANCE OF ADHD CHILDREN ABSTRACT:The influence of methylphenidate on the motor performance of children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder is analyzed. Twenty-one children, aged 7 -10 years, males and females, from three municipal schools in Maringá PR Brazil, clinically diagnosed with ADHD, were selected. They underwent two evaluations of motor development by the Movement Assessment Battery for Children at two different instances, with and without methylphenidate. Motor tests were undertaken in school and results were highly different. Scores in manual dexterity were not different with or without drugs; throwing and receiving ability showed a lowering in test when the drug was applied, with the inverse occurring in the case of equilibrium. Since the sample was small, more research is required to explore the dose-effects of the drug during different physical activities.

“…95 Unmedicated girls with ADHD were also more likely to have more media time than their peers, which was associated with higher obesity rates. 95 Work has also found that relative to peers, children with ADHD have low gross motor performance, poor physical fitness, and delayed motor development 96 in addition to more negative feelings about physical activity. 97 Taken as a whole, these various results suggest that the link between ADHD and obesity is likely to be driven by both overeating and decreased physical activity, similar to obesity overall.…”

While differences in weight-gain potential exist, both between and within classes of psychiatry medications, most commonly used atypical antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants result in some degree of weight gain. This is not new information and it requires an understanding of the tolerability profiles of different treatments and their goodness of fit with specific patient phenotypes. However, this iatrogenic association represents only a piece of this obesity-mental illness dyad. The complex interplay between psychiatric illness and weight involves neurobiology, psychology, and sociological factors. Parsing the salient variables in people with mental illness is an urgent need insofar as mortality from physical health causes is the most common cause of premature mortality in people with chronic mental illness. Our review examines issues associated with common chronic mental illnesses that may underlie this association and warrant further study if we hope to clinically intervene to control this life-threatening comorbidity. W W WBien que les différences de potentiel de gain de poids existent, à la fois entre les classes de médicaments psychiatriques et au sein de celles-ci, les antipsychotiques atypiques, les psychorégulateurs et les antidépresseurs les plus fréquemment utilisés entraînent à un certain degré une prise de poids. Cette information n'a rien de neuf et elle demande une compréhension des profils de tolérabilité de différents traitements et de leur qualité d'ajustement aux phénotypes spécifiques du patient. Cependant, cette association iatrogène ne représente qu'une pièce de ce tandem obésité-maladie mentale. L'action réciproque complexe entre la maladie psychiatrique et le poids met en jeu la neurobiologie, la psychologie et les facteurs sociologiques. L'analyse des variables prépondérantes chez les personnes souffrant de maladie mentale est un besoin urgent pour autant que la mortalité attribuable à des causes de santé physique est la cause la plus commune de mortalité prématurée chez les personnes souffrant de maladie mentale chronique. Notre étude examine les questions associées aux maladies mentales chroniques communes qui peuvent sous-tendre cette association et justifient plus de recherche si nous souhaitons intervenir cliniquement pour contrôler cette comorbidité qui met la vie en danger.
