Abstract

Abstract

Developmental Coordination Disorders occurs when development of motor skills has delay, or coordinated movement problems appears. Performance of children with impaired daily activities that require motor coordination is lower than expected by age and intelligence level, and that is not due to physical and psychological illness. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects of gymnastics trainings on executive and sensory - motor functions in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder from 8 to 10 years old in Tehran.
Materials and Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study. Among all patients, 34 children 8-10 years old with Developmental Coordination Disorder in Tehran, that was visited by occupational therapy and rehabilitation clinic in Tehran, available and targeted to selected and randomly divided in two experimental (n=19) and control (n=15) groups. Research tools for screening were Raven intelligence test and the Developmental Coordination Disorder questionnaire. Also, Conner nerves - psychological questionnaire was used to assess dependent variables. Then, the experimental group received an eightweek program for gymnastics locomotor intervention. Statistical analysis was performed by using MANCOVA at significance level P ≤ 0.05 by the SPSS16 software help.
Findings: Significant differences observed between control and experimental groups in all executive variables (F = 492.454ᵃ, P < = 0.05) and sensory - motor (F = 285.683ᵃ, P < = 0.05) functions.
Conclusions: The results showed that gymnastics trainings can improve executive and sensory - motor functions in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder. Therefore, it's recommended that nurseries and schools using gymnastic trainings can help to reduce the Developmental Coordination Disorder in children.
