“…Experimentally controlled studies of postural control in more natural situations were less common. Both in controlled standing as well as in more functional tasks (kicking a ball and step up), children with DCD showed more postural sway, more variability on kinematics, less optimal balance strategies including more hip‐than ankle‐based adjustments, and more reactive postural adjustments than a comparison group. In general, poorly coordinated anticipatory adjustments in DCD were observed (e.g.…”

Taken together, results support the hypothesis that children with DCD show differences in brain structure and function compared with typically developing children. Behaviourally, these differences may affect anticipatory planning and reduce automatization of movement skill, prompting greater reliance on slower feedback-based control and compensatory strategies. Implications for future research, theory development, and clinical practice are discussed.

“…Other work examining limb control has reported that children with DCD are more variable than TD peers in the timing and force of muscle contractions, both in rhythmic and discrete tasks (Lundy-Ekman, Ivry, Keele, & Woollacott, 1991;Piek & Skinner, 1999). Children with DCD have also been found to demonstrate altered activity in shoulder muscles, anterior and posterior trunk muscles (Johnston, Burns, Brauer, & Richardson, 2002;Kanea & Bardena, 2012), which suggest altered postural muscle activity may contribute to poor trunk stability and movement control. Our findings suggest that those neuromuscular problems may persist into adulthood and lead to the differences in variability of foot placement and body velocity and acceleration as reported.…”

“…Postural control depends on the integration of sensory, motor and cognitive systems [2], and deficits in postural control may result from impairments in any or all of these systems [3]. Deficits in postural control have been shown to contribute to activity limitations experienced by children with a wide range of conditions, for example: Cerebral Palsy [4], Developmental Coordination Disorder [5][6][7], Spina Bifida [8], Down syndrome [9], Autistic Spectrum Disorders [10], premature birth [11,12] and sensorineural hearing loss [13]. However, each of these studies has examined only certain sub-components of postural control due to the lack of a comprehensive clinical assessment for children.…”

This study evaluated the intra-rater, inter-rater and test-retest reproducibility of the FullBESTest and Mini-BESTest when assessing postural control in children. Thirty-four children aged 7-17 years participated in intra-rater and inter-rater evaluation, and 22 children repeated assessment six weeks later for evaluation of test-retest reliability.Postural control was assessed using the Full Balance Evaluation Systems Test (FullBESTest) and the short-form Mini-BESTest. Intra-rater, inter-rater and test-retest reproducibility were examined using video assessment. Test-retest reproducibility was also assessed in real-time. Reproducibility was examined by agreement and reliability statistics. Agreement was calculated using percentage of agreement, Limits of Agreement and Smallest Detectable Change. Reliability was calculated using Intra-class Correlation Coefficients. Results showed that the reliability of Total Scores was excellent for the Full-BESTest for all conditions (all ICCs>0.82), whereas the MiniBESTest ranged from fair to excellent (ICC=0.56 to 0.86). Percentage of Domain Scores with good-excellent reliability (ICCs>0.60) was slightly higher for the FullBESTest (66%) compared to the Mini-BESTest (59%). Smallest Detectable Change scores were good to excellent for the Full-BESTest (2% to 6%) and for the BESTest (5% to 10%) relative to total test scores. Both the Full-BESTest and MiniBESTest can discriminate postural control abilities within and between days in schoolaged children. The Full-BESTest has slightly better reproducibility and a broader range of items, which could be the most useful version for treatment planning. We propose minor modifications are recommended to improve reproducibility for children, and indicate the modified version by the title Kids-BESTest. Future psychometric research is recommended for specific paediatric clinical populations.
