“…Questionnaires provide a subjective assessment of the child"s performance by the parents/caregiver, teachers or other professionals. The seven questionnaires were the Little Developmental Coordination Disorders Questionnaire (LittleDCDQ) (Rihtman, Wilson, & Parush, 2011;Wilson et al, 2015), the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire"07 (DCDQ"07) (Parmar, Kwan, Rodriguez, Missiuna, & Cairney, 2014;Wilson & Crawford, 2012) , , the Daily Functioning in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDDaily Q)(Van der Linde et al, 2014), the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 Checklist (MABC-2 Checklist) (Henderson, Sugden & Barnett, 2007;, Schoemaker, Niemeijer, Flapper, & Smits-Engelsman, 2012), the Children Activity Scale-Parents/Teachers (ChAS-P/T) (Rosenblum, 2006), and the Children" Hand Skill Ability Questionnaire (CHSQ) (Chien & Brown, 2012).…”

This study systematically reviewed the clinical and psychometric properties of manual function outcome measures for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) aged 3-18 years. Three electronic databases were searched to identify manual function tools at the ICF-CY body function, activity and participation level used in children with DCD. Study selection and data extraction was conducted by two blind assessors according to the CanChild Outcome Measures Rating Form. Nineteen clinical tests (seven fine hand use tools and 12 handwriting measures), three naturalistic observations and six questionnaires were identified. The fine-motor subdomain of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 and the Functional Strength Measurement, with adequate reliability and validity properties, might be useful for manual function capacity assessment. The Systematic Detection of Writing Problems (SOS) and the Detailed Assessment of Speed of Handwriting (DASH) could be adopted for handwriting assessment, respectively from 6 and 9 years old. Naturalistic observations and questionnaires, whose psychometric properties have been investigated into limited extent, offer an assessment of the daily performances. This review shows that a combination of different tools is needed for a comprehensive assessment of manual function in children with DCD including the three levels of the ICF-CY. Further investigation of psychometric properties of those tools in children with DCD is warranted. Tests validated in other populations should be explored for their applicability for assessing manual function in children with DCD.

Developmental co‐ordination disorder is a motor skill disorder that affects an estimated 5–6% of children but lacks recognition and understanding, leading to under‐diagnosis. Essential for diagnosis is a marked impairment in motor co‐ordination that significantly impacts daily living, including education. Although ‘clumsiness’ is often dismissed, the impact of this disorder is significant and extends beyond motor skills into physical and psychological health and educational and vocational success. This is discussed here with regard to the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. This review also discusses the importance of an accurate, early diagnosis and factors that inhibit this; dual diagnosis with comorbid neurodevelopmental disorders; the multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and the role of the paediatrician within this; and current evidence regarding the most effective interventions.
