Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.
Diagnostic Criteria and...

Behavior Modification

Behavior Modification

Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Information Processing Approach

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Summary

Children with behavioral problems exhibit poorer balance, particularly in one-leg standing and two-step tests. This highlights the need to assess balance function in children experiencing behavioral difficulties to mitigate risks of instability.

Area of Science:

Pediatric neurology
Developmental psychology
Motor control

Background:

Children with behavioral problems often face challenges in motor performance.
The specific balance deficits and their link to behavioral traits in this group remain underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate balance functions in school-aged children.
To examine the relationship between balance performance and the severity of behavioral problems.

Main Methods:

209 children (6-10 years) were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).
Balance was evaluated via the one-leg standing test (OLST), two-step test, and five-times-sit-to-stand test.
Data were compared between children with and without behavioral problems, with correlation analyses performed.

Main Results:

Children with behavioral problems demonstrated significantly poorer performance on the OLST and two-step test.
No significant differences were found in the five-times-sit-to-stand test between groups.
OLST results correlated negatively with emotional symptoms, hyperactivity/inattention, peer problems, and total difficulties.

Conclusions:

Behavioral problems in children are associated with impaired balance function.
Reduced balance capacity may increase the risk of instability in this population.
Assessing and addressing balance deficits should be considered for children with behavioral issues.
