The aim of this study was to compare the fine motor skills of two groups of Iranian children. Of the 55 male Tehranian children aged 6 to 10 years, 29 children were typically developing and 26 were identified as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder. All children were assessed using the Raven Intelligence Test and nine fine motor tasks. There were no significant differences between the groups based on intelligence. In eight of the fine motor tasks, there was a significant difference between the groups. These tasks were cutting, placing dots in a grid pattern without direction, threading beads, drawing a line within 1 and 2 minutes, finger movements and Purdue pegboard. Boys who have been identified as ADHD have poorer fine motor skills compared to typically developing boys of the same age. Children aged 6 to 10 years who have been identified as ADHD will require more attention to their fine motor skill performance to enable greater participation in daily living tasks in Tehran such as writing, fine arts and dressing which require fast and quick hand motor skills. There are still limitations in this area; therefore, research in fine motor skills and ADHD children are recommended for future research.
本研究的目的是比较两组伊朗儿童的精细运动技能。在55名年龄在6至10岁的德黑兰男性儿童中，29名儿童发育正常，26名根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》被诊断为注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）。所有儿童均接受瑞文智力测验和九项精细运动任务评估。两组在智力方面无显著差异。在八项精细运动任务中，两组之间存在显著差异。这些任务包括剪纸、在无方向的网格图案中打点、穿珠子、在1至2分钟内画一条线、手指运动和普渡钉板测试。与发育正常的同龄男孩相比，被诊断为ADHD的男孩精细运动技能较差。在德黑兰，被诊断为ADHD的6至10岁儿童需要更多关注其精细运动技能表现，以便更好地参与日常生活任务，如写作、美术和穿衣，这些任务需要快速敏捷的手部运动技能。该领域仍存在局限性；因此，建议未来对精细运动技能和ADHD儿童进行研究。
