Goal-directed hand movements are guided by sensory information and may be adjusted 'online,' during the movement. If the target of a movement unexpectedly changes position, trajectory corrections can be initiated in as little as 100 ms in adults. This rapid visual online control is impaired in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), and potentially in other neurodevelopmental c...

Introduction and Aim: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by de?cits in both ?ne gross motor coordination which has signi?cant impact on child’s activities of daily living or school productivity.

In recent years, knowledge about developmental coordination disorder (DCD) has accumulated very rapidly. Considerable progress has been made in the understanding of DCD, but recent studies have not been compiled in a way that makes them easily accessible to practicing paediatricians. In the present paper, the literature is reviewed and organized around the questions commonly raised by parents o...

Factors shaping joint coordination during multijoint movements were studied using a one-handed ball-catching task. Typically developing (TD) boys between 9 and 12 yr of age, at which catching becomes consistently successful, and boys with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) of the same age participated in the study. The arm was initially stretched down. Catching was performed by flexing t...

Previous studies have found that rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are very similar, both being approximately 7% in sample populations [Kadesjö, B., & Gillberg, C. (1999). Developmental coordination disorder in Swedish 7-year-old children. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 38, 820-828; Milberg...
