Brief Summary

This study aims to Determine the effect of perceptual-motor training on: cognitive functions, motor abilities, and quality of life in ADHD children.

Conditions

Quality of Life; ADHD - Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity; Motor Abilities; Cognitive Function

Keywords

PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR TRAINING; COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS; MOTOR ABILITIES; QUALITY OF LIFE; ADHD

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• cognitive functions:

  Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) is individually administered, and has 15 subtests. Each subtest is allocated to either the Verbal Comprehension (VC), Perceptive reasoning (PR), Working memory (WM), or Processing Speed (PS) subscales. The Full-scale IQ is composed of 10 core subtests: three VC (Vocabulary, Similarities, and Comprehension), three PR (Block Design, Picture Concepts, and Matrix Reasoning), two WM (Digit Span and Letter-Number Sequencing), and two PS (Coding and Symbol Search). As the scoring number increases it means a better outcome.
