Group motor skill training and individual training yielded similar improvements in children with developmental coordination disorder. Group training offers a cost-effective alternative for enhancing motor performance.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric physical therapy
  • Motor learning and development
  • Childhood developmental disorders

Background:

  • Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects motor skills in children.
  • Effective interventions are crucial for improving motor performance in children with DCD.
  • Comparing different training modalities can optimize treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of group-based versus individual-based motor skill training.
  • To assess the impact on motor performance in children with DCD.
  • To evaluate home exercise compliance and parental satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled pilot study involving 23 children with DCD.
  • Children were assigned to either group (n=12) or individual (n=11) training for 8 weeks.

  • Motor ability was assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC).

    • Main Results:

    • Both training groups showed significant improvements in MABC total impairment scores.
    • No significant differences were found between group and individual training in motor skill gains.
    • Home exercise compliance and parental satisfaction were comparable between the two groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Group-based motor skill training is as effective as individual-based training for children with DCD.
    • Group training presents a potentially more cost-effective treatment option.
    • Further research may support group-based interventions for DCD.
