Background and Study Aim. This study aimed to determine the relationship between level of fine gross motor skills proficiency with severity autism disorder in children autism.
 Material Methods. 68 autism, ranged from 3-16 years old, were selected. Motor Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) was used assess proficiency. Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-2 (GARS-2) test also assessing partic...

Contrast between marker-assisted backcross (MABC) and doubled haploid (DH) methods in transferring genes for resistance to maize lethal necrosis (MLN) (Zea mays L.) is not well understood. The MLN caused by co-infection of plant chlorotic mottle virus sugarcane mosaic virus. Two panels consisting four BC3F2 six DH populations, separately developed through selection from crosses susceptible CIMM...

BACKGROUND Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterized by impaired development of motor coordination, with impact on daily life activities and academic performance. The Motor Coordination and Dexterity Assessment (MCDA) was created to offer Brazilian rehabilitation professionals a valid and reliable instrument for detecting DCD. OBJECTIVE To examine the MCDA criterion validity....

Objective: To investigate both fine and gross motor proficiency in preschool children enrolled in Head Start in comparison to their age-matched typically developing peers. Methods: Thirty-seven children from a local Head Start program and 37 typically developing children participated in this study. Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) was used to assess children's fine and gross ...

PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of an eight-week community-based strength and balance exercise group for children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD Ten children with CP participated in the study (8-15 years; six male; GMFCS I = 6, II = 4; five diplegia; five hemiplegia). Muscle strength was assessed using dynamometry and functional strength tests (seated throw, distance jump, vertic...

Sensory organisation of balance control is compromised in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). A randomised controlled trial involving 88 children with DCD was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a task-specific balance training (functional-movement training, FMT) programme in improving balance deficits in a DCD population. The DCD participants were randomly assigned to ei...

This study examined the effect of short-term auditory pacing practice on dual motor task performance in children with and without dyslexia. Groups included dyslexic with Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) scores > 15th percentile (D_HIGH, n = 18; mean age 9.89 +/- 2.0 years), dyslexic with MABC < or = 15th percentile (D_LOW, n = 15; mean age 10.43 +/- 1.8 years), and typically deve...

The multiple-choice multidimensional knapsack problem (MMKP) is a well-known NP-hard that has many real-time applications. However, owing to its complexity, finding computationally efficient solutions for the MMKP remains challenging task. In this study, we propose Modified Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (MABC) solve MMKP. MABC employs surrogate relaxation, Hamming distance, and tabu list enha...

Motor skill deficits are prevalent among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) however, little is known about the underlying mechanism of these deficits. In response to this gap, study investigated how visual perception (VP) and visual-motor integration (VMI) associated motor skills youth ASD. Sixty-seven individuals ASD sixty-seven age- gender-matched without (age range: 9.83–15.13 year...
