“…Similar to Wood et al [18]'s findings, the results of the children's test dropped significantly from the post-intervention test to the retention test; nonetheless, these results were still superior to the pre-test results, demonstrating that the impact of the intervention is still present in the retention test, showing a more long-term effect. The findings of our research, on the other hand, contradict the conclusions of previous studies [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Nevertheless, this study differed from others [17,18] because their retention tests were conducted after no more than 8 months, showing a short-term effect.…”

“…Similar results were also observed in the studies of Sugden et al [17] and Wood et al [18]. However, in other studies, a slightly different result was observed; that is, the results in the post-test were preserved in the follow-up moment [19][20][21][22][23][24]. In a small number of research studies, the motor skills of children with DCD improved from the post-test to the retention test [25].…”

“…In a small number of research studies, the motor skills of children with DCD improved from the post-test to the retention test [25]. In order to verify the effectiveness of the given interventions, most of the follow-up tests were re-examined around 1 to 5 months after the end of the intervention program [19][20][21][22]. In the study of Coetzee [25], for example, the effectiveness of the intervention was re-examined two years after the post-test, and it was observed that the overall results of the MABC decreased over time.…”

The aim of this research was to determine the sustainability of a given ten-week motor skills training program for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Children with DCD in four kindergartens in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan were selected to take part in the study. Participants were 24 children between 4 and 6 years old (5.25 ± 0.13 years), assigned to an intervention group (IG: 17 children; 10 boys) and a control group (CG: 7 children; 4 boys). The Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) was used to assess motor competence pre-intervention, post-intervention, and retention test measurement after 18 months. The retention test results for the IG indicated a decline in all three motor domains of MABC-2. Despite this, the results that were acquired during the retention test came out to be better than the results that were achieved during the pre-test. At the same time, children who were allocated to the CG maintained their performance. The findings suggest that a preschool-based motor skill training program has the potential to increase motor skills in children with DCD. However, the positive benefits produced by the intervention may decrease over the course of time if the intervention is not continued.

“…These interventions led to a significant improvement in specific motor skills, static and dynamic balance performance, gross and fine motor skills, manual dexterity, ball handling skills, improvement in MABC-2 test factors, throwing–receiving skills, motor coordination, the adaptation of steps on a treadmill, pacing and also in maintaining the results in remeasurements. However, there was no significant improvement in the ability to move and avoid obstacles [ 15 , 22 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ] (See Table 2 ).…”

The purpose of this literature review was to detect and study the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention programs, such as physical activities and sports, on children and adolescents with Developmental Motor Coordination Disorder (DCD) to improve their motor skills. The sample for this study consisted of 48 (100%) papers, specifically, 40 (83.5%) articles, 3 (6.2%) doctoral theses, 2 (4.1%) master’s theses and 3 (6.2%) papers from conference proceedings from the year 2014 to 2022. To search the sample, the following terms were used: DCD or dyspraxia, physical activity programs, intervention, physical intervention, physical education, etc. The results for the existence of statistically significant results and internal validity of intervention programs using physical activities and sports in children and adolescents with DCD showed that a large number of intervention programs improved the children’s motor skills as well as their daily functionality. In contrast, other interventions failed to improve dynamic and static balance. The negative result could be due either to the short duration of the interventions or to the improper suboptimal design—organization of the methodology of these programs—such as the heterogeneous intervention samples and the use of inappropriate and reliable assessment tools.

Objectives: To assesse the characteristics and validity of the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA). Concussion is a frequent brain injury that affect cognition, balance, and mobility. Prediction of the course of recovery after concussion could be achieved using a multidimensional examination. The FGA has been used to assess balance of individuals with concussion. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was commenced between 2015-2020 in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, including 27 high schoolers with current complaints of concussion and 86 healthy controls. Participants in both groups provided demographics and completed FGA, Gait Disorientation Test (GDT), and Gait Speed (GS) tests. Results: The FGA test correlated significantly with the GS and GDT. The FGA score in adolescents with concussion was significantly lower than healthy controls (U=1574.5, p =0.004). An FGA score less than 27 indicated a positive concussion injury with a sensitivity of 0.33 and a specificity of 0.92. The FGA showed a diagnostic odds ratio of 5.64. The positive and the negative likelihood ratios were of 3.03 and 0.54, respectively. For adolescents with concussion, the FGA showed no floor effect; however, a small ceiling effect (11.1%) was observed. Conclusion: The FGA was valid and feasible to assess concussion injuries. It should be noted that a full score on the FGA should not be interpreted as full recovery from a concussion injury.
