Brief Summary

physical coordination is impacted by developmental coordination disorder (DCD), commonly referred to as dyspraxia. It makes a youngster appear to move clumsily and perform worse than expected in everyday tasks for their age. Fine and gross motor coordination issues are a hallmark of this neurodevelopmental disorder. Task-oriented therapies help children with DCD develop their skills, coordination, and manipulative abilities by including them in intentional, goal-directed tasks. This is noteworthy because a child's quality of life can be greatly impacted by these skills, which are essential for everyday tasks like writing, tying shoelaces, walking, and balance. The purpose of the research is to ascertain how task-oriented upper limb intervention affects children with impaired coordination and hand-eye coordination.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Changes in Motor Coordination as Measured by the DCDQ

  The DCDQ evaluates changes in motor coordination in children aged 4-16 years based on parent-reported outcomes. It measures three subscales: Control During Movement, Fine Motor/Handwriting, and General Coordination. Scores are collected at pre and post-intervention (3 months), with higher scores indicating improved motor coordination.

• Changes in Manual Ability Assessed by the ABILHAND-Kids Questionnaire

  The ABILHAND-Kids Questionnaire evaluates changes in manual ability and bimanual coordination in daily activities among children with motor impairments. It is a parent-reported measure assessing the ease or difficulty with which a child performs 21 bimanual tasks in their daily life. Scores are collected at baseline (pre-intervention), and post-intervention (3 months), with higher scores indicating improved manual ability and functional performance.

task-oriented intervention for individual of developmental coordination disorder

Behavioral: Task Oriented Intervention

Interventions

Task Oriented Intervention BEHAVIORAL

Intervention group will recieve task oriented interventions.Throwing and catching balls of different sizes and weights will be done. For writing, a task-oriented approach has 4 phases that will involve writing,correcting and fun writing 30-minute per session. Interventions provided 3 days per week for 3 months.
