“…Also with pathologies treatments for these children, as in case of acute leukemia [23] and congenital cardiac abnormalities [24] Such studies, specific for clinical health conditions of children with Down syndrome, demonstrate that manual dexterity evaluation and fine motor skills also constitute parameters to assess these children health status. Those studies also enable the evolution follow-up of many treatments for common diseases associated with genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome [28].…”

“…The results of these researches pointed to the problems of fine motor skills in children with Down's syndrome. A particular study about "clumsiness in fine motor tasks: evidence from the quantitative drawing evaluation of children with Down's syndrome" indicated that participants with Down's syndrome tended to draw faster, but with less accuracy than controls (Vimercati et al, 2015). Indeed, this study pointed to the necessary awareness of fine motor accuracy as an important problem in the fine motor developmental area in children with Down's syndrome.…”

Children with Down's syndrome have developmental delays, particularly regarding cognitive and motor development. Fine motor skill problems are related to motor development. They have impact on occupational performances in school-age children with Down's syndrome because they relate to participation in school activities, such as grasping, writing, and carrying out self-care duties. This study aimed to develop a fine motor activities program and to examine the efficiency of the program that promoted fine motor skills in a case study of Down's syndrome. The case study subject was an 8 -year-old male called Kai, who had Down's syndrome. He was a first grader in a regular school that provided classrooms for students with special needs. This study used the fine motor activities program with assessment tools, which included 3 subtests of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, second edition (BOT-2) that applied to Upper-limb coordination, Fine motor precision and Manual dexterity; as well as the In-hand Manipulation Checklist, and Jamar Hand Dynamometer Grip Test. The fine motor activities program was implemented separately and consisted of 3 sessions of 45 activities per week for 5 weeks, with each session taking 45 minutes. The results showed obvious improvement of fine motor skills, including bilateral hand coordination, hand prehension, manual dexterity, in-hand manipulation, and hand muscle strength. This positive result was an example of a fine motor intervention program designed and developed for therapists and related service providers in choosing activities that enhance fine motor skills in children with Down's syndrome.

Clumsiness in fine motor tasks: evidence from the quantitative drawing evaluation of children with Down Syndrome

Abstract: While clumsiness in gross movements manifests mainly as slow, less efficient movements, it manifests as high velocity and inaccurate movements in fine motor tasks such as drawing.
