Brief Summary

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

Aim: This study investigates the impact of an AI-supported occupational therapy program, developed using the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO), on handwriting skills in children at risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).

Method: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 42 children aged 8-12 years, identified as being at risk for DCD using the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ). Participants were randomized into an intervention group (n=21) and a control group (n=21). The intervention group received an AI-supported occupational therapy program twice weekly for 8 weeks. Handwriting performance was assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Minnesota Handwriting Assessment (MHA).

Study group

Children at Risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Artificial Intelligence-Supported Occupational Therapy Program

Intervention Type OTHER

The AI-supported occupational therapy program was individually implemented by an occupational therapist over 8 weeks, with 2 sessions per week, each lasting 45 minutes. A touchscreen tablet, touch pen, and external camera were utilized during the sessions. At the beginning of the program, technological devices and artificial intelligence tools were introduced to the children. For the goals and detailed intervention program of the 8-week schedule

Control group

Children at Risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
