Although perceptual interventions focus on sensory and cognitive skills, they significantly enhance the effectiveness of motor interventions by improving coordination, decision-making, and overall engagement in physical activities. A comprehensive literature review has demonstrated that incorporating perceptual interventions into motor exercises is beneficial. While there are several treatment strategies for SLD-diagnosed children, the potential role of goal-directed perceptual-motor exercises has not been studied. This study examined the effectiveness of goal-directed perceptual-motor training on attention, motor skills, and quality of life in children with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD).
This was a randomized clinical study with 38 children diagnosed with SLD between September 2021 and April 2022. The control group (n = 19) received a standard intervention protocol, and the intervention group (n = 19) additionally received a perceptual-motor training program. Bourdon Attention Test, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test 2-Short Form (BOT2- SF), and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PEDSQL) were used as outcome measures.
The intervention significantly improved attention, fine and gross motor skills, and life quality as evidenced by the within- and between-group comparisons at the end of therapy.
Goal-directed perceptual-motor physical training with cognitive aspects may enhance academic performance, social participation, and life quality for children with SLD by improving basic motor skills. Therefore, the inclusion of physical and task-specific perceptual-motor exercises in educational programs may offer several avenues for cognitive skill development in SLD children.
The protocol is retrospectively registered with http://clinicaltrials.gov/ (16/August/2023, Clinical Trial, NCT05998083).
尽管感知觉干预侧重于感觉和认知技能，但它们通过改善协调性、决策能力以及对体育活动的整体参与度，显著提高了运动干预的效果。一项全面的文献综述表明，将感知觉干预纳入运动锻炼是有益的。虽然针对被诊断为特定学习障碍（SLD）的儿童有多种治疗策略，但目标导向的感知觉 - 运动锻炼的潜在作用尚未得到研究。本研究考察了目标导向的感知觉 - 运动训练对特定学习障碍（SLD）儿童的注意力、运动技能和生活质量的有效性。
这是一项随机临床研究，于2021年9月至2022年4月期间纳入了38名被诊断为SLD的儿童。对照组（n = 19）接受标准干预方案，干预组（n = 19）额外接受感知觉 - 运动训练计划。使用布尔东注意力测试、布鲁宁克斯 - 奥塞瑞斯基测试第2版简式（BOT2 - SF）和儿童生活质量量表（PEDSQL）作为结局指标。
治疗结束时的组内和组间比较表明，干预显著改善了注意力、精细和粗大运动技能以及生活质量。
具有认知方面的目标导向的感知觉 - 运动体能训练可能通过改善基本运动技能来提高SLD儿童的学业成绩、社会参与度和生活质量。因此，在教育项目中纳入身体和特定任务的感知觉 - 运动锻炼可能为SLD儿童的认知技能发展提供多种途径。
该方案已在http://clinicaltrials.gov/进行回顾性注册（2023年8月16日，临床试验，NCT05998083）。
