“…In particular, unlike infants with normal fidgety movements at 3-4 months, children with mildly abnormal GMs were significantly more distractible, inattentive and hyperactive as assessed by the Groningen Perinatal Project Questionnaire (GPPQ) and the DSM-IV ADHD Questionnaire for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Another study [40] indicated that abnormal GMs at both writhing and fidgety age were significantly associated with the presence of ADHD only when it was co-occurrent with another psychiatric diagnosis, but not when it was present in isolation. Furthermore, abnormal GMs at fidgety age were related to a higher total score on the DSM-IV ADHD questionnaire, and in particular, to higher subscores for hyperactivity and impulsivity, and lower subscores for inattention.…”

“…This may be partly due to the relative immaturity of cognitive functions related to sustained attention and focused activity during the first months of life, and to the consequent difficulty in reliably assessing them. Increasing evidence suggests that specific motor behaviors observed during the first months of life may be a marker of neurodevelopmental disorders, which show clinical and genetic overlap with ADHD [40]. Some authors suggest that increased activity in infancy could be considered an early sign of ADHD [38,[41][42][43][44][45].…”

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with onset of symptoms typically in early childhood. First signs of the disorder, including language delay, motor delay and temperament characteristics, may be evident as early as infancy. The present review describes published evidence about early motor signs of either children with later symptoms of ADHD or a later diagnosis of the disorder. Nine published cohort studies were included after a systematic search of related terms in PubMed and PsycInfo databases. Study eligibility criteria included: (1) report on early motor function or any motor-related signs;(2) the presence of a participants' assessment by/at 12 months of age; (3) report of a later presence of ADHD symptoms. The limited number of reports included suggests an association between mild early neurological markers and later developmental coordination disorder and motor overflow movements. Unfortunately, due to their small sample sizes and focus on group reports rather than individuals, they have limited power to find strong associations. Early motor indicators of ADHD, if present, appear to be non-specific, and therefore not yet useful in clinical screening. Spontaneous motility seems to be a promising measure for early ADHD detection, although further studies with large cohorts are recommended to determine its clinical role in children at risk for ADHD.

“…Na comparação do equilíbrio postural de crianças com deficiência intelectual e em desenvolvimento típico (grupo controle) foi possível verificar, por meio de parâmetros quando comparado às crianças com desenvolvimento típico em vários aspectos, incluindo equilíbrio estático e dinâmico 19 . Em uma revisão sistemática, realizada por Van Damme e colaboradores 20 , a diminuição das habilidades motoras é frequentemente relatada em deficientes intelectuais. A revisão mostra que em 24 estudos, os indivíduos com déficit de atenção associado com a hiperatividade obtiveram uma menor performance com relação aos pares de desenvolvimento típico.…”

ResumoCrianças com deficiência intelectual podem apresentar problemas estruturais e de maturação ligados ao sistema nervoso central, vestibular e proprioceptivo, sendo caracterizados pela escolha da estratégia motora e de equilíbrio postural inadequadas ou em atraso para a sua idade cronológica. Este estudo objetivou avaliar o equilíbrio postural em crianças com deficiência intelectual. Trinta crianças de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 7 a 13 anos, foram divididas em dois grupos, sendo quinze com deficiência intelectual (grupo DI) e quinze com desenvolvimento típico (grupo controle GC). O equilíbrio postural foi avaliado sobre a plataforma de força BIOMEC400 em apoio bipodal e unipodal. Os seguintes parâmetros de equilíbrio, baseados no centro de pressão (COP), foram analizados: área de elipse do COP, velocidade de oscilações do COP e frequência de oscilações do COP, nas direções antero-posterior (AP) e médio-lateral (ML). Os parâmetros de equilíbrio baseados no COP mostraram diferenças significativas entre os grupos em apoio bipodal para a velocidade média AP (DI=2,56; GC=3,55; p=0,02) e ML (DI=2,58; GC=3,59; p=0,03) e para frequência média AP (DI=0,53; GC=0,77; p=0,008). No teste em apoio unipodal, a frequência média AP foi a única variável a apresentar diferença significante entre os grupos (DI=0,85; GC=1,06; p=0,03). O grupo de participantes com deficiência intelectual apresenta, tanto em apoio bipodal como unipodal, resultados semelhantes ou superiores ao grupo controle. Estes resultados mostram que a deficiência intelectual não influenciou o equilíbrio postural estático em crianças de 7 a 13 anos.Palavras-chave: Sistema Nervoso Central. Cinestesia. Criança.AbstractChildren with intellectual disability may present structural and maturation disorders associated with the central nervous system, proprioceptive and vestibular system. These children are characterized by the inappropriate choice or dalayed response in motor strategy and postural balance for their chronological age. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the postural balance in children with intellectual disability. Thirty children of both sexes, aged between 7 and 13 years, were divided in two groups, fifteen with intellectual disability (group ID) and fifteen with typical development (control group CG). The postural balance was evaluated based on the force platform BIOMEC400 in bipodal and unipodal support. The main balance parameters analyzed were: ellipse area of the pressure center (COP), mean velocity and mean frequency of COP oscillations, in both directions of the movement anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML). The balance parameters based on COP revealed significant differences between the groups in bipodal support to the mean velocity AP (ID=2,56; CG=3,55; p=0,02) and ML (ID=2,58; CG=3,59; p=0,03) and to mean frequency AP (ID=0,53; CG=0,77; p=0,008). In the unipodal support test, the mean frequency AP was the only that showed significant difference between groups (ID=0,85; CG=1,06; p=0,03). The intellectual disability group achieved in both bipodal and unipodal support, similar or better results than the control group. These results indicate that the intellectual disability did not influence the static postural balance in children from 7 to 13 years old.Keywords: Central Nervous System. Kinesthesis. Child.

“…There is growing evidence that individuals with DCD have elevated levels of internalising symptoms compared to their typically developing (TD) peers (Mancini, Rigoli, Cairney, Roberts, & Piek, ; Mancini, Rigoli, Roberts, & Piek, ). Research has also found associations between motor ability and internalising symptoms in community samples of TD children and adults (Poole et al., ; Rigoli, Piek, & Kane, ; Wilson, Piek, & Kane, ), an increased risk of psychiatric disorders in individuals with DCD (Rasmussen & Gillberg, ), and impaired motor ability in individuals with common psychiatric disorders (Damme, Simons, Sabbe, & van West, ).…”

Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) affects 5%-6% of children. There is growing evidence that DCD is associated with greater levels of internalising symptoms (i.e. depression and anxiety). This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the magnitude of this effect, the quality of the evidence and potential moderators. Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify studies reporting a comparison between individuals with DCD/probable DCD and typically developing (TD) individuals on measures of internalising symptoms. A pooled effect size (Hedges g) was calculated using random-effects meta-analysis. Study quality, publication bias and potential moderators of the effect were explored. Results: Twenty studies, including a total of 23 subsamples, met the inclusion criteria, of which 22 subsamples were included in the meta-analysis (DCD: n = 1123; TD: n = 7346). A significant, moderate effect of DCD on internalising symptoms was found (g = 0.61). This effect remained robust after accounting for publication bias and excluding lower quality studies. The effect was significantly larger in studies utilising a cross-sectional design (vs. longitudinal), convenience sampling (vs. population screening) and a majority male sample. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that individuals with DCD experience greater levels of internalising symptoms than their peers. This highlights the importance of routine screening for emotional difficulties in DCD, raising awareness of the condition in mental health services and developing psychosocial interventions that extend beyond a focus on motor impairments. However, there is a need for higher quality, longitudinal studies to better understand the causal relationship between DCD and internalising symptoms.Research indicates that individuals with DCD may be at a greater risk of mental health difficulties. However, there has been no attempt to systematically consolidate this research. This meta-analysis suggests that children and adolescents with DCD experience greater levels of internalising symptoms (i.e. depression and anxiety) than their typically developing peers. This highlights the potential need for routine screening of mental health difficulties in individuals with DCD. It also highlights the need for psychosocial interventions for this population.
