This study investigated whether the likelihood of motor impairment in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) increases with the presence of other disorders, and whether the co-occurring diagnoses of reading disability (RD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) account for the motor deficits seen in ADHD. A total of 291 children (218 boys, 73 girls) participated. Six groups of children were compared: ADHD only (n = 29); RD only (n = 63); ADHD and RD (n = 47); ADHD and ODD (n = 19); ADHD, RD, and ODD (n = 21); and typically developing control children (n = 112). Motor skills were assessed with the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency and the Beery Test of Visual-Motor Integration. We found that the motor skills of the ADHD-only group did not differ from the typical control group. Furthermore, motor impairment in ADHD increased as a function of co-occurring disorders, and the presence of RD rather than ADHD predicted motor impairment.
本研究调查了注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童出现运动功能障碍的可能性是否会随着其他疾病的存在而增加，以及共病阅读障碍（RD）和对立违抗障碍（ODD）是否可解释ADHD中出现的运动缺陷。共有291名儿童（218名男孩，73名女孩）参与。比较了六组儿童：仅患ADHD组（n = 29）；仅患RD组（n = 63）；患ADHD和RD组（n = 47）；患ADHD和ODD组（n = 19）；患ADHD、RD和ODD组（n = 21）；以及发育正常的对照组儿童（n = 112）。使用布鲁宁克斯-奥塞瑞斯基运动能力测试和贝里视动整合测试对运动技能进行评估。我们发现，仅患ADHD组的运动技能与典型对照组没有差异。此外，ADHD中的运动功能障碍随着共病疾病的出现而增加，并且是RD而非ADHD的存在预示着运动功能障碍。
