Insights

This study found recruiting families for a web-based intervention for children with suspected or diagnosed developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is feasible. Moderate parent satisfaction was reported, with suggestions for earlier intervention and scheduling support.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Digital Health Interventions

Background:

  • Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects children's motor skills, impacting daily activities.
  • Web-based interventions offer accessible support for families managing DCD.
  • Feasibility studies are crucial for evaluating new therapeutic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of recruiting families with children exhibiting suspected or diagnosed DCD (sdDCD) for a web-based intervention.
  • To explore parental satisfaction with the online intervention.
  • To identify areas for improvement in the intervention design and delivery.

Main Methods:

  • A feasibility randomized-controlled trial (RCT) involving parents of children aged 5-12 with sdDCD.
  • Intervention group received online resources, forums, and therapist videoconferencing.
  • Recruitment and retention rates were primary outcomes; satisfaction assessed via surveys and interviews.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a recruitment rate of seven participants per month (n=28).
  • Reported a retention rate of 68% with moderate overall satisfaction.
  • No significant differences in usage or satisfaction were found between intervention groups.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates the feasibility of conducting larger trials for web-based DCD interventions.
  • Participant feedback highlighted the need for earlier intervention targeting and proactive scheduling of therapist sessions.
  • Emphasizes the importance of parent involvement in intervention development.

Protein Families02:47

Protein Families

Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism.   Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members.   If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Gene Families01:57

Gene Families

Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Coordination Number and Geometry02:57

Coordination Number and Geometry

For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature02:54

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature

In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form CH4. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 1a). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a...
