Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) often have poor postural control and motor skills that affect their activities of daily living and participation in school activities. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of fitball training versus task-oriented motor training for children with DCD.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

fitball program

This group will undergo the fitball program consisting of a supervised exercise session once per week for 8 weeks, supplemented by home exercises. The exercise session will be conducted by a qualified physiotherapist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Fitball exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Supervised fitball exercise program session (1 hour per session, 1 session per week, for 8 consecutive weeks), supplemented by daily home exercise program.

Task-oriented program

This group will undergo the task-oriented motor training program consisting of a supervised exercise session once per week for 8 weeks, supplemented by home exercises. The exercise session will be conducted by a qualified physiotherapist.
