Background In different ethnic groups, birth related factors have shown significant influence in the etiology of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Based on these interesting findings, we aimed to investigate association between different pre- and post natal variables and ADHD associated traits in Indian subjects. Methods ADHD Probands recruited based on the DSM-IV, were assessed by the Conner’s Parent Rating Scale for behavioral problem (BPr), inattention (IA), hyperactivity (HA) and ADHD index (AI). Impulsivity (Imp) was assessed by the Tsukuyama scale. Results Higher paternal (Std β = 0.23) and lower maternal (Std β = 0.21) age showed significant association with Imp of the probands. Higher paternal age also revealed association with BPr (Std β = 0.18). Age of onset was distinctly associated with AI (Std β < 0.16) while developmental delay was negatively correlated with BPr, Imp, IA and birth weight (r < − 0.13); also confirmed by Posthoc-ANOVA ( P < 0.05). Conclusion We infer that parental age, developmental delay and birth related variables may have a cumulative effect on ADHD symptom severity.

“…Neuropsychological studies of childhood ADHD have suggested deficits on measures of perceptual reasoning and language (Woo & Rey, 2005). Motor abilities have been implicated in both childhood and adult ADHD research (Rosa Neto, Goulardins, Rigoli, Piek, & Oliveira, 2015; Stray et al, 2013). Future research should examine these domains more comprehensively.…”

“…Several motor difficulties have been identified, including problems with gross motor skills (i.e., ball skills; Piek, Pitcher, & Hay, 1999), fine motor skills in manual dexterity and bimanual coordination tasks (Piek et al., 1999; Rommelse et al., 2007), balance (Mao et al., 2014), gait, and postural control (Buderath et al., 2009; Papadopoulos et al., 2014). In addition, children with ADHD have shown poor performance on tests with motor development scales when compared with typically developing children (Goulardins et al., 2013; Poeta & Rosa-Neto, 2007; Rosa Neto et al., 2015; Vidarte, Ezquerro, & Giraldez, 2009).…”

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Motor Impairment

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder during childhood, affecting approximately 3-6% of school-aged children; its cardinal symptoms of high activity, impulsivity, and behavioral distractibility might be assumed to have close relationships to interferences with motor skills. A separate body of literature attests to ways that motor problems can severely impact children's daily lives, as motor problems may occur in 30-50% of children with ADHD. This article critically reviews research on motor impairment in children with ADHD, notable differences in motor performance of individuals with ADHD compared with age-matched controls, and possible neural underpinnings of this impairment. We discuss the highly prevalent link between ADHD and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and the lack of a clear research consensus about motor difficulties in ADHD. Despite increasing evidence and diagnostic classifications that define DCD by motor impairment, the role of ADHD symptoms in DCD has not been delineated. Similarly, while ADHD may predispose children to motor problems, it is unclear whether any such motor difficulties observed in this population are inherent to ADHD or are mediated by comorbid DCD. Future research should address the exact nature and long-term consequences of motor impairment in children with ADHD and elucidate effective treatment strategies for these disorders together and apart.
