what are some features of childhood motor deficiency syndrome?
- awkward voluntary action
- excessive tendon reflex
- mild hypertonicity
what are some terms used to describe movement difficulties in children?
- clumsy child syndrome
- apraxia
- dyspraxia-dysgnosia
- physically awkward
- poorly coordination
- perceptual-motor dysfunction
what is DCD?
motor impairment that presents in childhood and significantly impacts upon daily living activities
what is DCD marked by?
clumsiness in otherwise healthy children
what is DCD also known as?
- developmental dyspraxia
- clumsy child syndrome
- motor incoordination
what is DCD characterised by in the DSM-5?
deficits in acquisition and execution of coordinated motor skills and is manifested by clumsiness and slowness or inaccuracy of performance of motor skills that cause interference with ADLs
what are some movement problems associated with DCD?
- poor fine/gross motor control
- speech which lacks fluency (oral motor skills)
- abnormal muscle tone (hyper/hypotonia)
- poor body awareness (kinaesthesia)
- difficulties with gross motor sequencing (developmental dyspraxia)
what is criterion A in the DSM-5 for DCD?
manifestation of impaired skills requiring motor coordination; execution of coordinated motor skills is below expected level novene the opportunity for skill learning
what is criterion B in the DSM-5 for DCD?
impairment in motor skills interferes with performance of, or participation in daily activities in family, social, school or community life
what is criterion C in the DSM-5 for DCD?
onset of symptoms of DCD must be in early developmental period
what is criterion D in the DSM-5 for DCD?
coordination difficulties are not better explained by visual impairment or attributed to neurological condition and motor difficulties are in excess of those expected for mental age
what are some issues with DCD diagnosis?
Range of explanatory frameworks
No agreed construct of motor impairment, cut off points/tests not specified
Lack of agreement between tests that are best
Heterogeneity of condition; co-morbidity and potential sub types
Culture and transaction related diagnostic issues
Child and family strengths
what may occur in very early childhood with children with DCD?
may take longer to:
- sit
- crawl
- walk
- speak
- stand
- potty train
what problems may occur in early childhood with DCD?
- subtle movement
- playground movement
- fidget
- learning new skills
- concentration
- getting dressed etc.
what may a child do if the have DCD at the school age?
- avoid sport
- learn well one on one
- react to stimuli equally and not filter
- maths and writing difficult
- not remember and follow instruction
is DCD more prevalent for males or females?
males 3:1
what is the aetiology of DCD?
unknown but appears neurological in origin
Prognosis of DCD
what prevalence of pop does DCD affect?
5-10%
what does DCD impact on?
- physical health/wellbeing
- social engagement, metal health and wellbeing
- ADLs including academic performance
what are three current motor learning and development explanations of DCD?
- maturational
- cognitive and info processing approach
- dynamic systems
what is a maturational explanation for DCD?
traditional, neurally orientated, moor skills emerge as a result of an autonomous neural system
what is the developmental sequence in the maturational cause of DCD?
top to bottom, proximal to distal, gross to isolated
what does the cognitive and info processing approach to DCD explanation understand?
behaviour by internal cognitive processes that support it
what does the cognitive and info processing approach to DCD explanation include?
input, feedback, and feedforward concepts
what is the dynamic systems perspective as a cause of DCD have roots in?
biological systems theory and ecology
what are the key differences in the dynamic systems perspective to DCD?
impact of enviro in constraints/challenges and multiple tasks being executed at same time
