Motor coordination problems in children and adolescents with ADHD rated by parents and teachers: effects of age and gender

Abstract: Summary. Objective. ADHD is frequently accompanied by motor coordination problems. However, the co-occurrence of poor motor performance has received less attention in research than other coexisting problems in ADHD. The underlying mechanisms of this association remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of motor coordination problems in a large sample of children with ADHD, and the relationship between motor coordination problems and inattentive and hyperactive=impulsive symptoms. Furthermore, w… Show more

“…Nevertheless, physical aspects of the body, such as motor coordination, were included in the Comprehensive Core Set. This reflects the previous findings that suggest that the impact of ADHD extends beyond mental functions into other body processes, including voluntary movement functions [42]. Interestingly, during the consensus conference, the experts were generally less favourable to including body function categories in the ADHD Core Sets compared to activities and participation categories and environmental factors.…”

“…The same was the case for hyperkinetic disorder. In our dataset only 23.9% of the children with hyperkinetic disorder had motor problems, whereas this was the case of 30 to 50% according to the literature (Fliers et al 2008, Gillberg et al 2004). In addition, findings in this study support 24.8% of motor problems in children with learning disabilities, which is much less than the co-morbidity range from 33.2% to 87.5% (Kaplan et al 1998, Miyahara et al 1997.…”

“…The ratio of boys to girls is between 3:1 and 9:1 (Swanson et al 1998). Hyperkinetic disorder is a heterogeneous condition, with frequent co-morbid disabilities such as motor problems (Fliers et al 2008). Approximately 30% to 50% of children with hyperkinetic disorder show motor problems affecting equally boys and girls (Fliers et al 2008, Gaub and Carlson 1997, Gillberg et al 2004, Sergeant et al 2006 Children with speech and language disabilities fail to develop language at a normal rate without an explanation of a physical impairment or neurological disease (American Psychiatric Association [APA] 2000).…”

“…Besides neuropsychological functions, the impact of ADHD also broadened out to include other areas of body functions, such as sensory, motor and gastro-intestinal issues. The association between ADHD and motor coordination difficulties has previously been established in research [47]. The same is true for gastrointestinal problems [48] and hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli [49].…”
