The purpose of this study was to explore the validity of computerized scaling of bilateral, motor coordination in children 4-6 years of age. There were 623 children with an average age of 5, years and 2 months (standard deviation=6 months) that participated. The 290 girls (46.5%) and 333, boys (53.5%) were from a purposive sample taken from public and private kindergartens in Taiwan. The computerized bilateral motor coordination test included two subtests, bilateral coordination, movements and projected actions. The motion analysis, with mark position and contour motion, was, used to collect important variables from the subtests. Using the judgments of the experts as the, criterion standards, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the tool were calculated to evaluate the, validity of the computerized bilateral motor coordination test. The accuracy, sensitivity, and, specificity of the bilateral coordination movement subtests were on average 83.9%, 86.4%, and 83.1%, respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the projected action subtests were on average, 90.5%, 88.1%, and 90.4%, respectively. The computerized bilateral motor coordination tests showed, an average accuracy of 86.3%, a sensitivity of 87.0%, and a specificity of 85.8%. The computerized, bilateral motor coordination test could be a valuable tool when used to identify problems of bilateral, motor coordination and in permitting early intervention to remedy these problems.
本研究旨在探讨电脑化评估 4-6 岁儿童双侧运动协调能力的有效性。共有 623 名儿童参与,平均年龄为 5 岁 2 个月(标准差=6 个月)。其中 290 名女童(46.5%)和 333 名男童(53.5%)来自台湾公立和私立幼儿园的有意样本。电脑化双侧运动协调测试包括两个子测试:双侧协调动作和投射动作。运动分析采用标记位置和轮廓运动,从子测试中收集重要变量。使用专家的判断作为标准,计算工具的准确性、敏感性和特异性,以评估电脑化双侧运动协调测试的有效性。双侧协调动作子测试的准确性、敏感性和特异性平均分别为 83.9%、86.4%和 83.1%。投射动作子测试的准确性、敏感性和特异性平均分别为 90.5%、88.1%和 90.4%。电脑化双侧运动协调测试的平均准确性为 86.3%,敏感性为 87.0%,特异性为 85.8%。电脑化双侧运动协调测试可作为一种有价值的工具,用于识别双侧运动协调问题,并进行早期干预以纠正这些问题。
