“…Children with typical development score higher than children with developmental disorders. This finding seems to be aligned with others [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 21 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 32 , 33 , 38 ], and in direct association with cognitive, executive and motor limitations [ 12 , 65 , 66 , 67 ], being of particular interest the muscle tone alterations [ 24 ], balance and gait [ 23 , 25 ], eye-hand coordination [ 26 , 68 ], laterality (preference and proficiency) and space-time [ 30 ]. As expected, significant differences were found between all groups, especially group 6, which despite having older participants, also included children with developmental disorders.…”

Psychomotor assessment is an expanding research field. A deep knowledge of the typical development will allow for better child-centered planning. Due to the scarcity of psychomotor assessment instruments validated in Portugal, our research aims to perform a preliminary analysis of the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Battery for Neuropsychomotor functions evaluation (NPmot.pt). The NPmot.pt was translated and adapted to the Portuguese language/culture and applied to 200 children, 4–12 years old (6 y 10 m ± 0 y 4 m), with (n = 150) and without developmental disorders, attending regular school. For content validity, nine experts classified all items according to their relevance, clarity, simplicity and ambiguity. All indexes (IVC > 0.78) pointed out the representativeness of indicators, corroborated by experts proportion agreement (>0.42), and Cohen’s kappa scores (0.02 > k < 0.95). Reliability was confirmed through internal consistency, with Cronbach alphas/split-half (α > 0.45) and temporal reliability (test-retest technique, 0.45 > r < 0.99). Construct validity was analyzed through domains and domains-total correlations, tending to moderate to strong (0.31 > r < 0.92); exploratory factor analysis pointed out an eight-factor solution, explaining 88.5% of the total variance. For discriminant validity, we conducted a comparative study between children with and without developmental disorders that revealed significant differences (p < 0.05). The NPmot.pt seems to confirm validity and reliability for Portugal; however, more studies are needed.

“…Penjas adaptif merupakan suatu sistem atau metode pembelajaran olahraga dimana setiap kegiatannya bertujuan untuk membantu anak berkebutuhan khusus dalam merawat serta melatih kemampuan motorik serta menigkatkan ketahanan tubuh (Kamphorst, Cantell, Van Der Veer, Minnaert, & Houwen, 2021). Di sisi lain penjas adaptif digunakan untuk mencari solusi yang dialami siswa atau peserta didik dalam ranah psikomotor, terjadinya problem dalam ranah psikomotor terjadi akibat adanya kerusakan pada sistem sensorik, sehingga anak berkebutuhan khusus harus mendapatkan pengajaran penjas yang sesuai dengan kemampuan diri mereka agar tetap mendapatkan materi pembelajaran seperti anak normal yang lainya (Geertsen et al, 2016) Pendekatan at home merupakan pendekatan kekeluargaan yang memungkinkan anak belajar dengan nyaman sesuai dengan kehendak atau keinginan serta gaya belajar masing-masing, dimana saja, kapan saja, dan dengan siapa saja (Odeh, Gladfelter, Stoesser, & Roth, 2022).…”

Fine motor skills are movements that only involve certain body parts that are only carried out by small muscles, therefore, in fine motor skills, the element of energy is not really needed, but rather careful and thorough coordination of body parts. Mental retardation is an individual who has been identified by a psychologist who has sluggishness in thinking and learning, as well as difficulty in pronunciation. This study aims to describe the fine motor skills of mentally retarded students Mustika Home Schooling in physical education lessons using the coloring method. This research uses qualitative or naturalistic methods because it is carried out in natural conditions. For the research method, the researcher uses a qualitative method, which is a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words of people and observable behavior. Qualitative approach has natural characteristics (natural serfing) as a source of direct data, descriptive, process is more important than results. Data collection is done by using the method of observation or observation. The results of this study indicate that there is a change in the coloring of the pattern in Figures 1, 2, 3 in Dastan and Arjuna. Researchers can conclude that Dastan and Arjuna have good motor skills, it is slowly proven by how they color the patterns of the pictures given.

“…Motor disruptions can range from dynamic to static postural challenges [ 2 ]. Moreover, decreased proficiency in targeted strength, speed, agility, and coordination may also serve as a hint for identifying ASD [ 10 ]. Stance tasks using force plates or Wii balance boards are one of the methods to assess postural control [ 11 , 12 ].…”

Background. Postural instability is a prevalent issue among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that affects the development of their perceptual-motor skills and social functioning. Visual and somatosensory processing deficits, hypotonia, basal ganglia dysfunction, and anxiety are some of the concurrent disorders in individuals with ASD. Nevertheless, a definite management protocol for postural instability in ASD has not been introduced yet. Hence, we aim to shed light on the available intervention strategies for postural instability in individuals with ASD. Methods. Even though several studies have been conducted on the effects of various interventions for balance control in individuals with ASD, no study has compared their efficacy, limitations, and clinical implications. Results. This review discusses diverse proposed interventions contributing to ASD postural instability, including martial arts, water-based interventions, animal-assisted therapies, trampoline, balance training, vestibular therapy, transcranial direct current stimulation, sports, play, and active recreation for kids (SPARK), and square-stepping exercise (SSE). Conclusion. Enhancing motor skills, cerebellum function, and sensory input integration were some of the main mechanisms of these interventions to improve balance control in ASD. Some interventions, such as water-based exercises and video games, were enjoyable for children with ASD and could raise their treatment adherence. In most studies, small sample sizes and the lack of a control group represented their major limitations. Therefore, future well-designed randomized controlled trials are required to assess the effects of available interventions on postural control in ASD.
