Cheng, Hsin-Yi Kathy; Lien, Yueh-Ju; Yu, Yu-Chun; Ju, Yan-Ying; Pei, Yu-Cheng; Cheng, Chih-Hsiu; Wu, David Bin-Chia – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
A high percentage of children with cerebral palsy (CP) have difficulty keeping up with the handwriting demands at school. Previous studies have addressed the effects of proper sitting and writing tool on writing performance, but less on body biomechanics. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of lower body stabilization and pencil…

Timing Abilities among Children with Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD) in Comparison to Children with Typical Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rosenblum, Sara; Regev, Noga – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Timing ability is essential for common everyday performance. The aim of the study was to compare timing abilities and temporal aspects of handwriting performance and relationships between these two components among children with Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD) and a control group. Forty two children, 21 diagnosed as DCD and 21 with…

Handwriting Performance and Underlying Factors in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shen, I-Hsuan; Lee, Tsai-Yun; Chen, Chia-Ling – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Preliminary evidence suggests that handwriting difficulties are common to children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, the nature of the task-specific impairments is needed to be clarified. The aim of this study was to describe handwriting capacity in ADHD children without DCD and identify underlying factors of…

Brossard-Racine, Marie; Majnemer, Annette; Shevell, Michael; Snider, Laurie; Belanger, Stacey Ageranioti – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Preliminary evidence suggests that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may exhibit handwriting difficulties. However, the exact nature of these difficulties and the extent to which they may relate to motor or behavioural difficulties remains unclear. The aim of this study was to describe handwriting capacity in children…

The Risk of Reduced Physical Activity in Children with Probable Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Prospective Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Green, Dido; Lingam, Raghu; Mattocks, Calum; Riddoch, Chris; Ness, Andy; Emond, Alan – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
The aim of the current study was to test the hypothesis that children with probable Developmental Coordination Disorder have an increased risk of reduced moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), using data from a large population based study. Prospectively collected data from 4331 children (boys = 2065, girls = 2266) who had completed motor…

The Handwriting Performance of Children with NF1
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gilboa, Yafit; Josman, Naomi; Fattal-Valevski, Aviva; Toledano-Alhadef, Hagit; Rosenblum, Sara – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
The objective of this study was to analyze the process and product of handwriting among children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) in comparison to those of Typically Developing (TD) children. Children with NF1 are at risk for some cognitive deficits, a wide range of deficits in perceptual skills and, motor and visual-motor integration skills…
