The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Neuromotor Task Training (NTT), recently developed for the treatment of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) by pediatric physical therapists in the Netherlands. NTT is a task-oriented treatment program based upon recent insights from motor control and motor learning research. Ten children with DCD (intervention group) were tested before and after 9 and 18 treatment sessions on the Movement ABC and a dysgraphia scale in order to measure the effectiveness of treatment on gross and fine motor skills in general and handwriting in particular. Five children (no-treatment control group) were tested twice with a time lag of nine weeks on the Movement ABC in order to measure spontaneous improvement. No improvement was measured for the children in the no-treatment control group, whereas a significant improvement was found for children in the intervention group for both quality of handwriting and performance on the Movement ABC after 18 treatment sessions.
这项初步研究的目的是评估一种神经运动任务训练(NTT)的有效性,该训练是荷兰的儿科物理治疗师最近开发用于治疗发育性协调障碍(DCD)儿童的。NTT是一个基于运动控制和运动学习研究最新见解的任务导向型治疗方案。10名患有DCD的儿童(干预组)在进行9次和18次治疗前后,接受了运动ABC测试和书写障碍量表测试,以衡量治疗对一般粗大和精细运动技能,特别是书写的有效性。5名儿童(无治疗对照组)在运动ABC测试上进行了两次测试,时间间隔为9周,以衡量自发改善情况。无治疗对照组的儿童没有测量到改善,而干预组的儿童在18次治疗后,书写质量和运动ABC表现均有显著改善。
