This phenomenological study explored the lived experience of six adults with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and its potential impact on functional mobility. Utilising the International Classification of Functioning (World Health Organisation, 2001), the data derived from interviews were analysed to consider how persistent motor impairments impact on activity engagement and participation.
Much of the research evidence pertaining to DCD focuses on children. However, there is increasing acknowledgment that for some, the motor impairments synonymous with DCD continue into adulthood.
The findings from this study suggest that for this group of participants, functional mobility can be compromised, restricting activity and participation. At a body structure/function level, participants identified additional impairments that moved beyond mobility, suggesting that the secondary consequences of fatigue and anxiety were disabling. However, personal factors were seen to mitigate some difficulties encountered to allow participants to remain actively engaged in a range of adult roles.
这项现象学研究探讨了六名患有发育性协调障碍（DCD）的成年人的生活经历及其对功能移动性的潜在影响。利用《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（世界卫生组织，2001年），对访谈所得数据进行分析，以考量持续性运动障碍如何影响活动参与和社会参与。
与发育性协调障碍相关的大部分研究证据都聚焦于儿童。然而，人们越来越认识到，对一些人来说，与发育性协调障碍同义的运动障碍会持续到成年期。
这项研究的结果表明，对于这组参与者而言，功能移动性可能会受到损害，限制活动和社会参与。在身体结构/功能层面，参与者发现了超出移动性的其他障碍，这表明疲劳和焦虑的继发性后果具有致残性。然而，个人因素被认为减轻了所遇到的一些困难，使参与者能够继续积极履行一系列成年人角色。
