Brief Summary

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

ADHD is generally associated with significant comorbidities including motor disorders in up to 96% of cases. Within these, disturbances of balance and motor coordination that interfere with school learning and daily activities are present in 47% of school children with ADHD. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine whether Vojta therapy is beneficial for the improvement of balance, postural control, hand-eye coordination and manipulative motor skills in children with ADHD, hyperactive and/or combined, aged 6-12 years.

Study Groups

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

Experimental group

This group is treated according to Vojta therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vojta Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention is carried out using Vojta therapy for one month, with one session per day, 5 days a week. This therapy is carried out by an expert physiotherapist. Vojta therapy is a non-experimental, painless, non-invasive therapy with no adverse effects, which is based on triggering repeated motor reactions or innate movement patterns (reflex locomotion patterns) in the trunk and limbs based on defined stimuli and starting from specific postures.

Both groups will undertake a pre-treatment assessment, a post-treatment assessment at the end of the one-month intervention period, and a final follow-up assessment one month after the end of the intervention.
