DCD dx based on
DCD w/out intervention
DCD sensory/perceptual deficits
CDC motor deficits
DCD motor control deficits
ineffective neuromuscular strategies (sequencing and activation)
stabilizing at joints
DCD motor learning deficits
DCD secondary physical impairments
fatigue
decrease strength and power
obesity
DCD secondary social impairmets
quiet/withdrawn at school avoidance of school work acting out in class low frustration tolerance decreased motivation poor self esteem poor task imitation and completion
DCD pathophys cerebellum -
studies show lack of automatization of motor tasks when attentional demands increase
poor adaptations of motor performance to changes in environmental context
DCD pathophys posterior parietal cortex
impaired feed forward mechanism and motor imagery deficits
DCD activity limitations
self care handwriting delays in riding a tricycleor bicylce poorly coordinated running, skipping, hopping jumping difficulty negotaintg stairs
developmental coordination disorder questionnaire
measures functional impact of motor coordination difficulties
DCDQ age
5-15yo
little DCDQ-CA
assessing motor skills in home and preach enviro as well as during play
little DCDQCA age
3-4yo
MABCC
movement analysis battery for children checklist
children checklist
CSAPPA
children self perceptions of adequacy in and predilection for physical activity scale
SCAPPA age
9-16yo
eval of motor impairment in young children w/ DCD
PDMS2
diagnostic and evaluative measure
eval of motor impairment in older children w/ DCD
bot 2 (doesn't assess handwriting) MABC2 (original version shown to ID more than w/ BOT_
DCD bottom up intervention
addressing foundational skills
SI and NDT
DCD top down intervention
emphasizing development of a specific skill rather than underlying skill components alone
techniques for fostering motor learning DCD
DCD task specific approaches
child encouraged to try a variety of solutions to the motor problem
-pt helps guide child in experiencing the result and in choosing which way represents the most efficient, optimal way in that specific enviro
