“…These differences were noted specifically in the physical and school QOL components. Although we could not find studies examining the association between motor function and QOL among survivors of RB, such a relationship was reported among other groups of children with motor deficits including developmental coordination disorder22,23 and cerebral palsy 24. The results of this study suggest that enucleation of one eye, leading to monocular vision, may be associated with decreased motor functions of survivors of RB as well as lower QOL.…”

Background Monocular vision has been found to have a negative effect on children's motion processing and motor functions. Yet, knowledge of motor function of survivors of retinoblastoma (RB) with monocular vision (due to enucleation, for example) is limited. This study examined motor function and its relationship to visual‐related and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in survivors of RB with monocular vision. Procedure Parents of 27 survivors of RB, who underwent an enucleation of one eye resulting in monocular vision, and of 21 typically developing children between the ages of 6 and 12, were administered questionnaires relating to their children's motor function (DCDQ), as well as vision‐related function (CVFQ) and HRQOL (PedsQL). Results Of the 27 survivors of RB, 7 (25.6%) were found to have difficulties in motor functions, compared with 1 (4.8%) child in the control group. The difficulties were faced mainly in daily function requiring control during movement, including jumping, running, and ball playing. Additionally, significant correlations were found between motor functions and children's QOL. Finally, survivors of RB with monocular vision were found to have lower QOL, specifically physical‐ and school‐related QOL. Conclusion Survivors of RB who have monocular vision have a higher rate of decreased motor function and lower QOL. These results point to a need for ongoing assessment of survivors of RB to allow timely detection of motor deficits and to institute appropriate therapeutic interventions.

“…Yet, although children with DCD and at‐risk of DCD need professional support to improve performance, little is known about the differences regarding their executive functions profiles; to date, few studies addressed children at‐risk of DCD cognitive impairments (Alesi et al, ; Houwen et al, ). Furthermore, the environment plays a vital role in the risk and protective factors (Cairney, Veldhuizen, & Szatmari, 2010; Cairney, Rigoli, & Piek, ; Karras, Morin, Gill, Izadi‐Najafabadi, & Zwicker, ) for children with DCD. Therefore, it seems reasonable to assume that differences across cultures would be expected in executive functions, and little is known about the executive functions of children with DCD and at‐risk of DCD in developing countries.…”

Background Children with motor impairments also show poor performance in some executive functions' components. However, there is no consensus on which specific executive subdomain is more impacted. Aim The objective of this study was to compare executive functions in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), at risk for DCD (r‐DCD), and in typically developing (TD) children. Methods and Procedures A sample of 397 children was assessed using the MABC‐2. Two groups of children were identified; DCD (n = 63) and at r‐DCD (n = 31). A third matched group of children with TD (n = 63) was formed. The MABC‐2 checklist and the WASI tests were used as screening tools. Measures of executive function including verbal and nonverbal tasks for working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility were tested. Multivariate analysis of variance followed by analyses of variance and Bonferroni tests were used to verify group effects on executive functions. Results A significant group effects were found for Working Memory, Λ = .78, F(4, 360) = 10.12, p ≤ .001, ηp2 = .12; Inhibitory Control, Λ = .59, F(16, 294) = 5.48, p ≤ .001, ηp2 = .23; and Cognitive Flexibility and Inhibitory Control, Λ = .60, F(22, 288) = 3.74, p ≤ .001, ηp2 = .22, with moderate effect sizes. The DCD group showed lower scores compared with the TD group on the visuospatial and verbal working memory; inhibitory control and in tasks of cognitive flexibility; the r‐DCD group showed lower scores compared with the TD group for visuospatial working memory and for cognitive flexibility. Conclusions and Implications Poor performance in several measures of executive functions in children with DCD emphasized the need of motor/executive task‐specific interventions. Furthermore, children at r‐DCD showed low scores in several executive functions; therefore, preventive services should also be provided for this subclinical group.

“…Regarding physical problems, children with DCD are at higher risk for obesity, higher waist circumference and body fat percentage [16,17], poorer cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower flexibility, muscle strength, and muscle endurance [6,[18][19][20]. Overall, children and adolescents with DCD suffer lower health-related quality of life than their typically developing peers [14,15,21].…”

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders in school-aged children, with major consequences in psychosocial and physical health. Adequate identification of this disorder is necessary to prompt effective interventions. The aims of this study were to develop the Spanish adjusted reference norms for the DCDDaily-Q and to test the correlation and agreement between the Spanish versions of the DCDDaily-Q (DCDDaily-Q-ES) and the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-ES), two reliable instruments to assess motor performance and DCD. Clinically relevant percentiles were calculated for the DCDDaily-Q-ES using a representative sample of Spanish children aged 5 to 10 years (n = 356; M = 7.3 years, SD = 1.8; boys = 50%). Pearson’s correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to determine correlation and agreement between questionnaires, respectively. A moderate and significant correlation and agreement between DCDDaily-Q-ES and DCDQ-ES was found (r = 0.406; ICC = 0.381; p < 0.001). Differences in daily participation and performance were found between age groups, but not between boys and girls. Spanish age-adjusted percentiles and cutoff scores for DCDDaily-Q-ES are provided. This study offers further validation and relevant information regarding assessment of DCD and has practical implications for clinical practice and research.
