42
Q

DCD DSM Criteria

A

A. Acquisition and execution of coordinated motor skills is substantially below expected at chronological age (clumsiness, slowness, inaccuracy)
B. Deficits significantly interfere with ADLs appropriate to chronological age and impacts academic productivity, leisure, play
C. Onset of symptoms in early developmental period
D. Motor skills deficit is not explained by intellectual disability or visual impairment or neurological condition affecting movemy

43
Q

Processes for Coordination Difficulties

A
  1. Child has difficulty interpreting and integrating information (visual, tactile, balance, proprioception)
  2. Child has difficulty choosing the type of motor action that is appropriate for the situation
  3. Child has difficulty forming a plan of action in the proper sequence
  4. Message sent to the muscles must specify speed, force, direction, distance to be moved
44
Q

Apraxia

A

Usually seen in adults
Loss of praxis (able to plan and coordinate a motor skill)
Neurological basis for problem as seen on CT or MRI
Basis not usually tied to somatosensory dysfunction

45
Q

Dyspraxia

A

Usually seen in children
Dysfunctional praxis (able to plan and coordinate a motor skill)
Neurological basis for problem NOT noted on CT or MRI
Thought to have tactile proprioceptive basis
Learning activities for first time, can’t build on previous skills
Ex. Poor motor planning, clumsiness, low muscle tone, problems with ADL, weight shifting problems, decreased rotation, shuffling, toe walking, high stepping, must give full attention to task, decreased postural reactions, poor synergy, problems with unconscious movements, difficulty organizing self, emotionally sensitive, self-image problems, poor proprioception, vestibular impairments, oculomotor deficits

46
Q

Movement ABC

A

Just Right Challenge
Need for an adaptive response

Therapist Responsibility: Choose skill, modify environment, feedback (immediate, constant, random, delayed -best for advanced kids)
