Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit various degrees of motor and cognitive impairments in fine and gross motor skills. These impairments impact social functioning, while also hindering academic achievement, self-esteem, and participation. Specifically, motor impairments are not fully addressed by current therapies. For example, approximately 50% of children with ADHD exhibit significant motor impairments, as per clinical measures, while the other 50% experience more impairments in motor planning, execution and control than do typically developed (TD) children. Such findings indicate that ADHD-specific mechanisms may be underpinning motor impairments. In this paper, we outline ADHD impairments in motor planning, execution, and control, and the potential role of two such mechanisms: internal motor representation and timing perception. Next, we suggest mental imagery as an approach for treating ADHD motor impairments, potentially through addressing internal motor representation and timing perception.
患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童在精细和粗大运动技能方面表现出不同程度的运动和认知障碍。这些障碍会影响社交功能,同时也会阻碍学业成绩、自尊心和参与度。具体而言,目前的治疗方法并未充分解决运动障碍问题。例如,根据临床测量,约50%的ADHD儿童表现出明显的运动障碍,而另外50%的儿童在运动计划、执行和控制方面比发育正常(TD)的儿童有更多障碍。这些发现表明,ADHD特异性机制可能是运动障碍的基础。在本文中,我们概述了ADHD在运动计划、执行和控制方面的障碍,以及两种此类机制的潜在作用:内部运动表征和时间感知。接下来,我们建议将心理意象作为一种治疗ADHD运动障碍的方法,可能是通过解决内部运动表征和时间感知问题。
