Previous studies have shown the importance of motor control in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The objective of our study was to verify any statistically significant differences of fine motor performance in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms compared to the control group in proprioceptive sensory condition.
Proprioceptive Diagnostics of Temperament and Character was used for the measurement of fine motor precision (proprioceptive sensory condition). The biases from the linear models (lineograms) and line length were registered for three movement types (frontal, transversal and sagittal) in both hands. Line length variability was obtained from the parallels.
MANOVA with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons revealed significant statistically differences between the ADHD and control group in fine motor graphical performance in four variables. Age and sex differences were taken into account and discussed. Discriminant analysis confirmed that both groups can be classified at a statistically significant level.
This is the first empirical study to compare differences between children with and without ADHD symptoms in fine motor precision performed in the proprioceptive condition. Discriminant analysis confirmed the capacity of some specific movement type to classify the groups.
先前的研究已表明运动控制在注意力缺陷多动障碍儿童中的重要性。我们研究的目的是验证在本体感觉条件下，有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）症状的儿童与对照组相比，其精细运动表现是否存在任何具有统计学意义的差异。
使用气质和性格的本体感觉诊断法来测量精细运动精度（本体感觉条件）。记录双手三种运动类型（额向、横向和矢状向）的线性模型偏差（线图）和线长。线长变异性通过平行线获得。
采用Bonferroni校正进行多重比较的多变量方差分析显示，ADHD组和对照组在四个变量的精细运动图形表现上存在显著的统计学差异。考虑并讨论了年龄和性别差异。判别分析证实两组在统计学显著水平上均可分类。
这是第一项比较有和没有ADHD症状的儿童在本体感觉条件下精细运动精度差异的实证研究。判别分析证实了某些特定运动类型对两组进行分类的能力。
