The study compared the effectiveness of two novel balance training programs (Functional Movement-Power Training and Functional Movement Training) to no training in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder. 161 children were randomly assigned to one of the three groups and underwent their respective interventions twice a week for 3 months. Outcome measures of balance strategies and neuromuscular performance were taken before and after the intervention period using computerized dynamic posturography and manual muscle testing. The results showed that both novel training programs improved balance and strength to a greater extent than no training.

Depression in Mothers of Children with Cerebral Palsy and Its Relation with C...ijtsrd
Introduction Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by an abnormality in the brain causing difficulties in movement and coordination, with an onset in the developmental period of childhood. Cerebral palsy can include cerebral malformation arising in the gestational period, a destructive process in the antenatal, prenatal or early postnatal periods, or by various processes acting together. Objective To evaluate the depression level in mothers of children with cerebral palsy and its relation with the current functional status of the children and establish To determine the correlation of functional ability of children with cerebral palsy and depression levels in their mother.Hypothesis There is inversely proportional relationship of depression of mother of children with cerebral palsy with current functional status of their children. There is directly proportional relationship of depression of mother of children with cerebral palsy with current functional status of their children.Design Pre test and post test experimental correlation study. Participants Mother of both male and female children with a documented diagnosis of Cerebral palsy in the age group of 6 months to 3 years. The children in group a received one hour of occupational therapy based on neurodevelopment therapy. Therapy was individualized for each child’s condition and was dictated by the child’s unique clinical needs. The goal of therapy was to improve postural and functional abilities in different developmental position.Each activity was given for 10 15 minutes depending on child’s interest, attention and interaction with the environment. Each session started from the weight bearing activity and gradually followed by performance of the movement within the developmental context.Main Outcome Measures Beck depression inventory Gross motor functional measure Results Table 6 shows that there is a significant difference p 0.05 e in both GMFM AND BDI scores since the p value are 0.000, which is less than the acceptable level of significance of 0.05. Table 7 shows that there is a negative relationship p 0.05 between children current functional level and mother’s depression level.Conclusions From this study it is concluded that there is p 0.05 negative relationship between BDI score and GMFM score. Hence these findings should be used in caution when treating the patients with cerebral palsy.

An evaluation of the Dore programme. Remarkable success is claimed for this exercise-based treatment that is designed to accelerate cerebellar development. Unfortunately, the published studies are seriously flawed. On measures where control data are available, there is no credible evidence of significant gains in literacy associated with this intervention. There are no published studies on efficacy with the clinical groups for whom the programme is advocated. It is important that family practitioners and paediatricians are aware that the claims made for this expensive treatment are misleading.
Effects physical exercises and minor games on speed in mild mentally challeng...Sports Journal
The intention of the study was to analysis the effects of physical exercises and minor games on Speed in
mentally challenged Children. To achieve this purpose of the study 45 mild category mentally challenged
Children were selected from SATYA Special School Puducherry. Children chronological age from 15 to
20 and their IQ ranged from 60% to 70%. They were divided into three groups physical exercise group
(PEG) was considered as Group I, minor games group (MGG) considered as group II and control group
(CG) considered as Group III. Group I and II undergone training for 18 weeks. The training was
scheduled for three days in a week for an hour (4pm to 5 pm) and CG was not undergone the training.
Random group design was used for this study. Speed is the criterion variable which was measured by 50
mts dash. The test was taken before and after the training period. The collected data were statistically
analysed by Analysis Covariance (ANCOVA). All the data were analyzed using SPSS statistical
package. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level of significance. From the results of the study it
can be concluded that there is no significant difference between CG and PEG on speed. Thus, the above
result clearly indicates that the speed in the children belonging to the MGG has considerably improved in
comparison to the PEG and CG.
UNIQUE APPROACH TO CONTROL SPEECH, SENSORY AND MOTOR NEURONAL DISORDER THROUG...kevig
Cognitive science is an effective approach for bringing mentally retarded person in to live normal way of life. Overcoming cognitive disorders involves initiating the growth of natural thinking. A large population in this world is suffering from cognitive disorders either less or more. Cognitive disorders can be of due to developmental issue or acquired from illness/accidental. Cognitive development can be achieved by natural therapy by stimulation of specific neuronal network which are involved in cognition. Brain based skills that involved in this make a complex task into simpler task. These skills show how we learn, how we think, how we remember and most importantly how we respond to a specific situation. For instance, perception is the recognition and interpretation of opinion or in what way you are taking problem and solving in which way because a single problem solved by different persons in different way of thinking. In such a situation it is very important to develop basic cognitive abilities in infants in its early developmental stage by providing necessary therapy in childhood. To bring this reality in society here an attempt will be made to design a virtual therapy device that will give the necessary exercises to the infants for growth of proper neural network i.e. brain development to overcome mental retardation and cognitive disorder.

Assessment and Evaluation of Students With EBD
Introduction
Ambiguity and difficulty in defining emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) causes the numbers of students with EBD to vary widely. Often this group can be the most under-identified category in a school. As stated in the previous lecture, factors causing students to exhibit emotional and behavioral disorder can be from five different theoretical frameworks, including
biological, psychoanalytical, behavioral, phenomenological,
and
sociological/ecological
(Smith, Polloway, Patton, Dowdy, 2004). The aforementioned factors may lead to numerous disorders that are all classified under the heading of
emotional disturbance
.
The debate ranges over which assessments to use and why. The purpose of assessment is not only to identify the disabilities but also to use that information to create a more individualized program for intervention and remediation. "Assessment of problem behaviors requires that the team collect and interpret functional information from a variety of sources" (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow, & Shriner, 2009, p. 76). These assessments include both formal and informal types, and the mandated team determines eligibility.
Overall, when considering students with ED, there are times when the team must determine if the behaviors are truly manifestations of students' disabilities in order to protect them from some disciplinary measures such as suspension and expulsion. No matter what assessments are used, there needs to be clear-cut guidelines and procedur.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the nervous system impairment that occurs during fetal life in womb, birth or infancy. ‘Cerebral’ comes from the word cerebrum; the two hemisphere of the forebrain and ‘Palsy’ means paralysis accompanied by involuntary tremors.
While our brain consists of sensory area to receive stimuli and motor area to give respond, a child with CP has a damage motor area of the brain. This will cause them to loss their ability to control their muscle and body coordination (Tortora & Derrickson, 2011, p.630). Among the causative factor of CP include prematurity of baby during delivery, placental insufficiency, anoxia (low oxygen) during birth or other infection of mother, fetus or infant that can affect the central nervous system (Mahan, Stump, Raymond, 2012, p.1033).
According to MyChild™ (n.d), CP is incurable, permanent and chronic. It is irreversible and currently cannot be fixed. Once the brain damage occurs, it does not heal like other cell in the body does. CP is a permanent occasion that neither the injury in the brain undergoes healing process nor worsens during a person life time. As a person is diagnosed with CP, they will have the condition for their entire life.
Despite of being a permanent disorder, CP is a non-progressive disorder. The brain lesion occur is a one-time brain injury and will not cause further degeneration. CP is also a non-communicable disease thus does not spread through human contact. However, environmental factor can increase the risk of CP such as abuse, accident, medical malpractice or bacterial and viral infection. Fortunately, CP is manageable.
Although the person may experience difficulties in their movement, speech and other motor skill, therapy, surgery, medication and assistive technology can help them to be more independence. Plus with the support from their family, they can enhance the quality of life. (MyChild™, n.d)

2. INTRODUCTION
• The American Psychiatric Association (2013) diagnoses these children who
have remarkedly reduced co-ordination abilities, which lead to difficulties
in daily life and poor academic achievement compared to typically
developed children with the same chronological age, as Developmental Co-
ordination Disorder (DCD).
• Previous researcher describes the state of poor motor co-ordination ability
with various term, such as clumsy child syndrome, developmental
dyspraxia , perceptuo-motor dysfunction, specific developmental disorder
of motor function , play ground disability, deficits in attention, motor
control, and perception (DAMP).
3. PREVALENCE
• Based on the DSM-V criteria, DCD is common in both males and females 1:1.
4. ETIOLOGY
At risk: Birth H/O: perinatal
abnormalities (jaundice),
LBW, premature
Genetic predisposition
Impairment in information
processing/ improvised
environment
Brain damage /dysfunction
(prenatal , natal , postnatal incident)
LBW divided in to 4 groups (acc. to abnormal
CT scans) germinal matrix haemorrhage ,
intraventricular haemorrhage , parenchymal
involvement, poor prolonged flares, premature
Comorbid conditions: visual
impairment, thyroid
malformation, congenital
hypothyroidism, mild CP, early
stages of muscular dystrophy.
6. DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA
• Based on (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder) DSM -V :
Criterion A: The acquisition and execution of co-ordinated motor skills is
substantially below that expected given the individual’s chronological age and
opportunity for skill learning and use. Difficulties are manifested as clumsiness
(e.g., dropping or bumping in to objects) as well as slowness and inaccuracy of
performance of motor skills (e.g., catching an object, using scissors or cutlery,
handwriting, riding a bike, or participating in sports).
7. Criterion B: The motor skills deficit in Criterion A significantly interferes
with activities of daily living appropriate to chronological age (e.g., self
care and self maintenance) and impacts academic/school productivity,
prevocational and vocational activities, leisure and play.
Criterion C: Onset of symptoms is in the early developmental period.
Criterion D: The motor skills deficits are not better explained by
intellectual disability (intellectual development) or visual impairment are
not attributable to a neurological condition affecting movement (e.g., CP,
muscular dystrophy, degenerative disorder).
8. ASSESMENT
Careful history taking is essential to support the application of Criteria A,B,C,D. History
should include following aspects
1. Parental report
• Family history including DCD , comorbidities, environmental factors (e.g. psychosocial
factors), neurological disorders, medical diseases, mental disorders, social condition of the
family.
• Personal history including exploration of resources and possible aetiology, ( e.g., pregnancy,
birth, milestones, achievements, social contacts, kindergarten, school (grade levels), previous
and present disorders, especially neurological disorders, sensory problems (previous
assessment) ), accidents.
• History of the disorder (child) including DCD and comorbidities and exploration and
exploration of resources , ADL and participation, individual/personal factors, burden of
disease, consequences of the DCD.
• Exploration of problems: present level /deficits of motor functions, ADL and participation.
9. 2. Teacher report
• Motor functions, activities/participation, environmental factors/support systems,
individual/personal factors (ICF)
• School-based behaviour that bears on comorbidity for attentional disorders,
autistic spectrum, learning disorders
• Academic achievement
3. Views of the child should be taken into account child-adapted questionnaires
(see above) may be useful, but cannot be generally recommended
10. CLINICAL EXAMINATION
• Neuromotor status (exclusion of other movement disorders or neurological
dysfunction)
• Medical status (e.g. obesity, hypothyreosis, genetic syndromes, etc.)
• Sensory status (e.g. vision, vestibular function)
• Emotional and behavioural status (e.g. attention, autistic behaviour, self-esteem)
• Cognitive function should there be a history of learning difficulties at school
11. ASSESSMENT OF MOTOR SKILLS
• Norm referenced standardized scales can be used such as:
(Movement Assessment Battery for Children)MABC-2 , (Bruininks- Oseretsky Test of
Motor Proficiency)BOTMP-2 ,Developmental Co-ordination Disorder Questionnaire ,
Test Of Motor Impairment (TOMI), Body Co-ordination Test for Children (BCTC) ,
Test of Gross Motor Development 2nd edition (TGMD-2), Neuro-Sensory Motor
Developmental Assessment (NSMDA), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children,
the Balance Test; the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, 2nd edition (KBIT-2)
12.
13. Missiuna, Polatajko, and Pollock (2015) classify and suggest 4 levels
of a DCD management scheme for children as follows:
1) Level 1: Management at a School/Population Level
2) Level 2: Management at a Group Level
3) Level 3: Management of Individual Children in Context
4) Level 4: Management of Individual Children who are Complex.
MANAGEMENT
14. LEVEL 1: MANAGEMENT AT A
SCHOOL/POPULATION LEVEL
It is significant to identify children with DCD early and to provide early
intervention in order to minimize the problems of children with DCD.
improvement of teachers’ and parents’ perception of children with DCD and a
reconstruction of educational curriculum for students who have poor motor
ability are required as a first step.
15. LEVEL 2: MANAGEMENT AT A GROUP LEVEL
At this level, children with DCD may have secondary health issues and academic failure due
to their poor coordination ability, so children with DCD should be identified as early as
possible Early identification of DCD allows teachers and parents to share the characteristics of
children with DCD in order to form appropriate environments for them. This may result in
providing achievable tasks to children with DCD and avoiding repetitive unsuccessful
experiences, and therefore, the role of teacher at this level is emphasized Generally, the
Neurorehabilitation Training Toolkit (NTT), a therapeutic program which is being developed
by Smits-Engelsman and colleagues that utilizes motor learning teaching principles, is
recommended as an effective way to learn fundamental motor skills of children.
16. LEVEL 3: MANAGEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL
CHILDREN IN THE CONTEXT
The motor impairment of children with DCD is a long-term problem, The motor
impairment of children with DCD is a long-term problem, Therefore, it is required to
accept the difficulties of children with DCD and to provide an appropriate environment
to easily participate in physical activities. Thus teachers are important in the process of
establishing individualized plans for children with DCD, and strategies, such as
“MATCH: Teacher can Modify the task, Alter their expectations, Teach strategies,
Change the environment, and Help by understanding”, might be applied effectively.
17. LEVEL 4: MANAGEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL CHILDREN
WHO ARE COMPLEX
DCD is strongly associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), speech and
articulation difficulties (specific language impairment), language-based learning disabilities
and other difficulties. If these disabilities are accompanied with DCD, the negative effects can
possibly be aggravated. Therefore, special intervention that considers the child’s age, severity
of the motor difficulties, evidence of secondary consequences and etc. is required in this case.
At this level, the COOP (Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance) approach
is used as an effective intervention for school-age children with DCD Within this model,
occupation therapists provide related knowledge of DCD to teachers and parents, and
construct a mutual cooperation system rather than provide the service directly. Thus, this
cooperative work provides an appropriate environment for children with DCD to solve
various problems.

A systematic review of high quality randomized controlled trials investigating motor skill
programmes for children with developmental coordination disorder
REVIEW METHOD Two reviewers critically appraised and categorized articles by effect size (including confidence
intervals), inclusion of power calculations and quality using the Physiotherapy Evidence
Database (PEDro) scale. Only studies scoring seven or more on the PEDro scale (classed by the
PEDro as high reliability) were retained.
RESULTS No systematic reviews met our criteria for inclusion from 846 articles yielded by the systematic
search. Nine randomized control trials investigating 15 interventions to improve motor skills met
our inclusion criteria for ‘high quality’. Nevertheless, not all included studies were adequately
powered for determining an effect.
CONCLUSION Large effect sizes associated with 95 % confidence intervals suggest that ‘Neuromotor Task
Training’, ‘Task-oriented Motor Training’ and ‘Motor Imagery + Task Practice Training’ are the
most effective reported interventions for improving motor skills in children with developmental
coordination disorder.

30. A NOVEL BALANCE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR
CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL COORDINATION
DISORDER A RCT
Shirley S.M. et al
JOURNAL : Medicine Journal
YEAR: 2016
Impact Factor:
31. OBJECTIVE
• Compare the effectiveness of a specific functional movement–power
training (FMPT) program, a functional movement training (FMT)
program and no training in the improvement of balance strategies, and
neuromuscular performance in children with developmental coordination
disorder (DCD).
32. • Sample size: 161 children with DCD
• Age group: 6-10 year
• Study design: Randomized, single blinded, stratified, parallel group controlled trial.
• Study setting: local child assessment centers, hospitals, schools, non government
organizations and parent groups by means of website and poster advertising.
• Interventions: 2 groups FMPT (Functional Movement Power Training)
FMT (Functional Movement Training)
• Duration: Twice a week for 3 months
METHODOLOGY
33. INCLUSION CRITERIA EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Diagnosis of DCD based on DSM IV Diagnosis of an emotional , neurological , or
other movement disorder
Comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia
and suspected autism spectrum disorder were
allowed
significant congenital, musculoskeletal, or
cardiopulmonary disorders that might affect
motor performance
A gross motor composite score of 42/ less on
BOTMP
Active treatment; disruptive behavior
Age group 6-10 years An inability to follow instructions
No intellectual impairment
37. STATISTICALANALYSES
• The pilot trial, was estimated that a sample of 45 participants per group would provide at
least 80% power to detect a between-groups difference in a mean change from baseline to
3 months of 0.335 points in the primary outcomes, assuming a 25% attrition rate, at a 2-
tailed alpha level of 5%. These predicted mean point differences equate to a medium to
large effect size of 0.67.
• All of the analyses were conducted on an intention-to-treat basis (last-observation-carried-
forward method). The between groups differences in demographic variables were assessed
with 1-way analysis of variance for continuous data and with a Chi-square test for
categorical data.
38. • Any changes in the primary and secondary outcomes following the intervention were
quantified by subtracting the baseline scores from the postintervention scores.
• The differences from the baseline in each outcome measure were analyzed with mixed-
model repeated-measures analysis of variance (between-subjects factor: group; and within-
subject factor: time) followed by post-hoc tests.
• All P values were corrected using Bonferonni method to maintain the overall significance
level at 5% (2-tailed).
• The results are presented as means with SDs or 95% confidence intervals (CIs). All of the
statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 20.0 (IBM).
45. DISCUSSION
• This study is the first to show that a 3-month program of twice-weekly FMPT was more effective
than FMT alone or no training in improving balance strategies (i.e., a decrease in reliance on the hip
strategy and an increase in reliance on the ankle strategy) in a sensorially challenging environment
(e.g., only vestibular input was available in SOT condition 6) in children with DCD. The
improvements were maintained for 3 months after the cessation of training.
• This finding supports our hypothesis that the balance strategies of children with DCD can be
improved most by treating both their CNS and neuromuscular deficits. Theoretically, FMT can
induce neuroplastic changes in the CNS (e.g., modification of Purkinje cell synapses in the
cerebellum), and power training can increase the speed of muscle contraction (force production) via
several neuromuscular mechanisms: earlier motor unit activation, enhanced maximal motor unit
firing rate in the initial stages of activation, increased efferent neural drive to the agonist muscles,
improved intermuscular and intramuscular coordination, and improved force control.
46. • Although only the FMPT improved balance strategies, both the FMPT and FMT were effective in
improving the overall standing balance performance in children with DCD. In addition, the
improvement was maintained at 6 months in the FMT group, probably because FMT required the
children to practice the balancing movements repeatedly with EMG biofeedback, which can
effectively enhance CNS plasticity.
• In addition, the increased concomitant muscle force production speed of the knee flexors in the
FMT group at 6 months may also have contributed to the improvement in balance performance.
The present study demonstrated that integration of power training with FMT can improve the
overall standing balance performance, balance strategies, and knee muscle strength in children
with DCD.
47. CONCLUSION
• FMPT led to better results than conventional FMT in the
improvement of balance strategies in a sensorially challenging
environment, and the neuromuscular performance of children with
DCD. FMPT appears to be effective as a stand-alone intervention
designed to improve balance strategies, postural stability, and leg
muscle performance in children with DCD.
48. LIMITATIONS
• Exploration of the relationships among balance performance, balance strategies, and
muscle force production speed in children with DCD.
• Participants were not blinded to the group assignment, given the nature of exercise
training.
• Participants who were assigned to the intervention groups may have had expectations
about the benefits of exercise, which may have introduced some biases in the results.
• The balance strategies were estimated from the horizontal AP shear forces detected by
the force plate.
• EMG biofeedback was used during FMT but the signals were not captured
• This was a laboratory-based study.
