The Effect of Selected Motor Program on Neuropsychological Variability and Motor Function at Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise intervention on some Event Related Potential and motor performance variables in children with developmental coordination disorder. Methods: In this Quasi-experimental study were selected ۲۸ people with Developmental Coordination Disorder among ۷-۱۰ years male students in Tehran. They were screened for study according to the ۴th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorder. PsyTask software made by Mitsar Russia was used to build and run the response inhibition test.  Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-۲) was used to measure motor function. The analysis of the covariance was used for data analysis. Results: The analysis of the covariance the posttest ERP showed that latency of NoGo P۳۰۰ component in Fz and P۴ regions, amplitude of NoGo P۳۰۰ component in Cz region improved significantly after exercise training. Likewise, the results showed that the experimental group improved significantly in manual dexterity, aiming and catching, balance, but there was no significant change in Threading Lace item. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it seems that Physical training interventions has a signification effect on some neuropsychological and motor performance indices of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder.
