Local data on the occurrence of motor problems in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are not available but an understanding of this important issue may enable better planning of medical services. We aimed to determine the prevalence of motor problems in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in a local population.
In this descriptive cross-sectional study, children aged 6 to 9 years diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder over a period of 6 months from 1 July to 31 December 2011 were recruited from the Joint Paediatric and Child Psychiatric ADHD Program in New Territories East Cluster in Hong Kong. Movement Assessment Battery for Children and Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire-Chinese version were used to determine the presence of motor problems.
Data from 95 participants were included in the final analysis. The number of children who had no, borderline, or definite motor problems was 63, 15, and 17, respectively. It is estimated that up to one third of local children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder might have developmental coordination disorder.
Motor problems are common in local children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and figures are comparable with those from other parts of the world. Despite the various limitations of this study, the magnitude of the problem should not be overlooked.
目前尚无关于注意力缺陷多动障碍儿童运动问题发生率的本地数据，但了解这一重要问题有助于更好地规划医疗服务。我们旨在确定本地注意力缺陷多动障碍儿童中运动问题的患病率。
在这项描述性横断面研究中，从2011年7月1日至12月31日的6个月期间，从香港新界东联网联合儿科和儿童精神科注意力缺陷多动障碍项目中招募了6至9岁被诊断为注意力缺陷多动障碍的儿童。使用儿童运动评估量表和发展性协调障碍问卷中文版来确定是否存在运动问题。
95名参与者的数据纳入最终分析。无运动问题、边缘性运动问题或明确运动问题的儿童数量分别为63、15和17。据估计，本地高达三分之一的注意力缺陷多动障碍儿童可能患有发展性协调障碍。
运动问题在本地注意力缺陷多动障碍儿童中很常见，数据与世界其他地区相当。尽管本研究存在各种局限性，但该问题的严重程度不应被忽视。
