Brief Summary

Physiotherapists have positive effects on motor skills, executive functions and symptoms of children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. However, progression takes time due to the symptoms of the disease. Physiotherapists need strategies to manage the symptoms of ADHD. Music can be used as a strategy because music is known to reduce the symptoms of children in this group. There is no study in the literature on how motor skills will be affected with musical accompaniment. The aim of this study is to compare motor skills performed with and without music in children with ADHD. When we evaluate motor skills like in a treatment session, the usability of music as an environmental factor will be investigated according to the positive, negative or ineffective results of the music effect.

Conditions

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Static balance

  Stork static balance test will be used. Children will be asked to stand comfortably on both feet with their hands on their hips. They will then be asked to raise their non-dominant legs. This test will be repeated 3 times. The test will be measured in time (seconds) with a stopwatch and the best result from three attempts will be recorded.
