Brief Summary

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that may have poor motor coordination and balance control. The effect of Methylphenidate treatment on balance and fall risk is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of methylphenidate (MPH) treatment on balance, fall risk, and sensorimotor integration in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Conditions

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Keywords

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; Methylphenidate; Postural Balance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• postural control

  Postural stability tests, including overall stability index (OSI), anterior-posterior stability index (APSI), and medial-lateral stability index (MLSI)

  one year

• sensorimotor integration

  The Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance (m-CTSIB) testing protocol was used to evaluate sensory integration capabilities and balance. Four different conditions were evaluated for the m-CTSIB test protocol: Eyes Open Firm Surface (EOFS), Eyes Closed Firm Surface (ECFS), Eyes Open Soft Surface (EOSS), and Eyes Closed Soft Surface (ECSS)

  one year

• Fall risk

  Fall risk score was calculated by Biodex balance system

  one year

Study Arms (3)

ADHD group

Children who were diagnosed with ADHD for the first time were classified in the ADHD group (n=33)

Device: Fall risk

treatment group

children with ADHD who were treated with MPH for a minimum of 3 months were classified in the treatment group (n=32)

Device: Fall risk

control group

typically developing children were classified in the third-the control group (n=20)

Device: Fall risk

Interventions

Fall risk DEVICE

Fall risk, static postural balance and sensorimotor integration were assessed using the Biodex Balance System.

Also known as: static postural balance, sensorimotor integration (m-CTSIB) test

Study Population

All children who were diagnosed with ADHD for the first time according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V, American Psychiatric Association, 2013) were classified in the ADHD group (n=33), children with ADHD who were treated with MPH for a minimum of 3 months and were followed-up at our clinic were classified in the treatment group (n=32), and typically developing children were classified in the third-the control group (n=20) in this observational cross-sectional study.
