this is where you see kids fall behind
in a school environment - more complex tasks, follow rules, navigate socially, competition in phys ed, fall out of chairs
- concentrating on one task so hard, forget where body is in space
- never have enough time to do things w the quality/completedness that is needed

28
prognosis for DCD
will not outgrow, chronic condition - intervention leads to more positive outcomes
29
what is DCD prognosis correlated to (3)

30
what is very important and influential in how PT should practice and manage DCD
CPGs
31
what is the order that a PT exam should go thru in assessing DCD
activity based assessment - PMH/systems review - participation - observe movement - activity limitations w standard measures - BSF impairments
32
what should be covered in PMH (6)
1. reason for referral 2. onset of sx, when first noticed 3. other concerns, co-existing dx 4. developmental hx - all domains, milestones 5. education/intervention hx - what does family know 6. participation hx - has the child had opportunities, likes/dislikes
33
what is covered in systems review (9 - have an idea)
1. ms tone 2. fall hx, toe walking 3. gower's sign, waddling gait 4. pain 5. endurance at home, school, community 6. acute changes in cog function** (**not consistent w DCD) 7. behavioral regulation & attention 8. interaction abilities - peers & adults 9. vision screen
34
what are 4 standardized participation measures (yes you need to know this)
1. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) 2. Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) 3. Perceived Efficacy and Goal Setting Program (PEGS) 4. Children's Assessment of Participation & Enjoyment (CAPE)
35
what DSM V criteria does the standardize participation measures address
#2: participation & ADL deficits
36
how is motor performance assessed
observation - movement analysis
37
what ab movement analysis is observed (7)
1. movement thru space 2. skills in different environments 3. large, whole body movement & postural control 4. UE: skilled tasks 5. (B) movements (ie crossing midline) 6. simple vs complex movements 7. speed component
38
what DSM V criteria does movement analysis address
#1: motor deficits
39
what are 2 activity limitation questionnaires that are reliable and valid for pt population
1. Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire 2007 (DCDQ'07) 2. Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2nd Edition Checklist (MABC-2-C)
40
what are 2 not valid for DCD population but still used activity limitation questionnaires
interviews others that may be applicable for individual children (ie school function assessment)
41
what DSM V criteria does activity limitation questionnaires address
#2: participation and ADL deficits
42
what is the purpose of the DCDQ'07 and what ICD area does this cover
screen motor coordination in children (ages 5-15yo) - from parent perspective activity limitations
43
what is the gold standard objective measure for DCD population in assessing motor performance
MABC-2
44
how are motor skills assessed
performance outcome measures
45
what are 2 objective motor performance measures
1. Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2nd ed (MABC-2) 2. Bruininks-Oseretsky Test for Motor Proficiency 2nd Ed (BOT-2)
46
describe the MABC-2: ages, domains, etc.
gold standard for assessing motor performance in DCD ages 3-16 domains: - manual dexterity - aiming and catching - balance norm referenced
47
what are the norm referenced outcomes of the MABC-2 that assess motor performance in DCD
>15th percentile = no movement difficulty 5-15 percentile = at risk <5th percentile = significant movement difficulty
48
when would you use the BOT-2 over the MABC-2
if child too old for MABC-2
49
describe the BOT-2: ages, domains, etc.
motor performance assessment ages: 4-21 - if children too old for gold standard MABC-2 areas examined: - fine manual control - manual coordination - body coordination - strength and agility norm referenced
50
describe how BSF impairments are assessed
based on observational movement analysis
51
what about the BSF impairments thru observation should be considered
consider examination of components of fitness - cardiorespiratory endurance - strength, power, ms endurance - postural control
52
what are 3 general goals of PT interventions
1. learning 2. prevent secondary impairments 3. inc participation and confidence
53
what else should be provided as interventions outside of PT (2)
care coordination & education direct services
54
what should be provided as part of care coordination and education (3)
family-centered approach - education - activity selection - lifestyle education - teachers, coaches - community programs anticipate problems, give choices, set up for success
55
what are we educating the family on to set the child up for success
how to get better at anticipating problems - anything that is new will be more challenging - activities that require cont adaptation and hand eye coordination
56
what are alternative activities for DCD and why are these better for that population (5)
swimming track/field individual activities: - biking - martial arts - yoga while activities are new, have repetitive nature to set child up for success
57
what are 2 ideal "first-choice" strategies for PT interventions
task-specific training BSF
58
how can task-specific training be applied (4)
motor skill training neuromotor task training cog orientation to daily occ performance motor imagery
59
how a BSF strategy of PT intervention be applied (3)
core stability training cardiorespiratory training functional movement - power training program
60
what are factors to implement/consider when using a task-specific training strategy (7)
1. environment 2. part -> whole 3. verbal instruction 4. positioning 5. modeling 6. freq practice (to inc confidence) 7. consistent feedback
61
what is a cognitive approach to a PT intervention
use cognitive strategies to form a mental plan of action that helps person to learn, problem solve, and perform very deliberate engagement of child in problem-solving
62
what are the benefits to using a cognitive approach in PT interventions (3)
improve: - learning - problem solving - task performance
63
what is the evidence say about task-oriented approaches to PT and what does recent evidence support
addressing impairments doesn't translate into improved activity or participation for DCD pt population recent evidence supports move to "top-down" approaches
64
what are the advantages to using a task oriented approach to a chronic condition like DCD
children need to be able to learn to learn - generalize learning - approach new motor tasks w same effective strategies
65
what are the benefits to using a motor learning approach in this population
greater potential to inc function and participation
66
what is the CPG for addressing the BSF impairments and 3 recommended PT interventions per this CPG
strong role for prevention/alleviation of secondary complications - trunk/prox stability - functional strength/power - cardiorespiratory training
67
dosage and setting for a PT intervention
time: 100min/wk practice time: 2-5x/wk (PT or supplemental activities) duration: ~9wks depending on STG setting: individual, small group suggested
68
what are supplemental activities in the home and community
soccer taekwondo
69
what are considerations of soccer as a supplemental activity and how is this best managed
requires: - speed, power, endurance, agility, coordination best if by trained coach
70
what are considerations of taekwondo as a supplemental activity? what is the evidence? how is this activity best managed?
requires: balance, strength evidence: BSF vs activity/performance best if taught by certified instructor
71
what is the key in deciding supplemental activities outside of PT
shared decision making with child/family
72
what are supplemental activities that should be decided upon together w the family
individual type sports active video games
73
evidence on active video games as a supplemental activity?
insufficient evidence on improving participation and motor outcomes - some detrimental effect as less time outside
74
what are the 3 take home important implications for PT
1. w children and early dx/management 2. w adults in context of PT for "other" issues 3. w advocacy and awareness
