“…As this disorder impedes motor function in numerous activities that are a part of daily life, affected children are less physically adept than their peers and frequently avoid play or physical activity [14,15,24]. Consequently, DCD shows comorbidity with behavioural disorders such as low self-esteem and negative body image, anxiety and interpersonal difficulties [8,27,32]. These, in turn, may lead to obesity and other metabolic, cardiovascular and digestive diseases [9].…”

SummaryStudy aim: The purpose of this article is to present the cultural adaptation of the DCDQ'07 (Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire) as one of the popular and most frequently-used diagnostic instruments for diagnosing DCD in school-age children. Material and method:The procedure for translating and evaluating the selected psychometric parameters of the DCDQ has been conducted in compliance with the guidelines for the procedure [4]. The study involved 152 parents of school-age children; the control group included 32 children. Additionally, a group of 75 children was tested with the KTK test. To assess the testretest reliability, the group of 50 parents was tested twice with the DCDQ at an interval of 14 days. Results: The study proved that the DCDQ is an accurate and reliable instrument for screening DCD in Polish children. The high value of all of the analysed psychometric parameters is evidenced by the following: a sensitivity of 0.75, a specificity of 0.63 and a test-retest reliability of 0.93. Internal consistency is also satisfactory and amounts to 0.92. The study also determined that the score of the DCDQ depends on the gender of the tested child, and not on his/her age. Conclusions: According to the research, DCDQ is a useful instrument that allows for the screening of DCD in school-age children. The Polish version of the questionnaire is definitely going to fill in the gap among diagnostic instruments and will allow for further development of research on the epidemiology of DCD.

“…the most prevalent hindrances in fine motor skills affect manipulative activities such as tying shoelaces, fastening buttons and zippers, or handwriting and drawing [12,13]. Psychosocial symptoms include learning disabilities and behavioral disorders such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and interpersonal difficulties [3,14,15].…”

Purpose. Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting 6-10% of school-aged children. DCD causes chronic motor impairments which distinguish children from their developmentally typical peers. to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Motor Observation Questionnaire for teachers (MOQ-t) for use in a Polish child population. Methods. Physical education teachers assessed a normative sample of 348 children using the MOQ-t. Internal consistency was evaluated by calculating Cronbach's alpha. Factor analysis was performed to investigate construct validity. A clinic-referred sample (n = 31) and a control group (n = 33) were recruited and concurrent validity was assessed by calculating correlations between the MOQ-t and the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KtK). receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis assessed discriminative validity. Results. Cronbach's alpha for the total MOQ-t score was 0.962. Factor analysis identified three factors: gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and general motor coordination. A negative correlation between the MOQ-t and KtK scores was found in both the control and clinic-referred groups. the AUC metric for the sample was 0.96 (CI: 0.90-1.00). Sensitivity was 0.80 for total MOQ-t scores at or above 44.5 with a specificity of 94%. Conclusions. the psychometric properties of the MOQ-t as a DCD screening instrument in Polish school-aged children are promising. Further investigation warrants the inclusion of larger population samples and additional validity comparisons such as with the commonly used Movement Assessment battery for Children (Second Edition).

“…In recent years, several DCD screening tools have been developed (Chambers and Sugden, 2006;Rosenblum, 2006), including the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ'07; Wilson et al, 2009). Although a variety of DCD screening and diagnostic measures are available, currently there is no accepted "gold standard" instrument (Blank et al, 2012), and most are not appropriate for use with children under 5 years of age (Rihtman et al, 2011;Schoemaker and Wilson, 2014).…”

The development and standardization of the Children Activity Scales (ChAS‐P/T) for the early identification of children with Developmental Coordination Disorders

Abstract: Initial results suggest that the ChAS-T and Chas-P are reliable tools to identify children at risk for DCD.
