Influence of Methylphenidate on Motor Performance and Attention in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bart, Orit; Daniel, Liron; Dan, Orrie; Bar-Haim, Yair – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Individuals with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) often have coexisting developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The positive therapeutic effect of methylphenidate on ADHD symptoms is well documented, but its effects on motor coordination are less studied. We assessed the influence of methylphenidate on motor performance in children…

Brossard-Racine, Marie; Shevell, Michael; Snider, Laurie; Belanger, Stacey Ageranioti; Majnemer, Annette – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Motor difficulties are common in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Although preliminary evidence has suggested that methylphenidate can improve the motor skills in children with ADHD and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), the effect of stimulant medication on motor performance in children newly diagnosed with…

Martens, Marilee A.; Seyfer, Daisha L.; Andridge, Rebecca R.; Foster, Jessica E. A.; McClure, Kelsey E.; Coury, Daniel L. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic condition characterized by a unique neurocognitive and behavioral profile, including increased incidence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The purpose of the present study was to examine the perceived helpfulness and side effects of medications used to treat ADHD (methylphenidate class,…

Brackenridge, Rachel; McKenzie, Karen; Murray, George C.; Quigley, April – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This study investigated whether methylphenidate is effective in improving response inhibition in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Children with ADHD were compared with normally developing children on measures of response inhibition. Participants with ADHD were compared across two conditions--medicated and unmedicated.…

Tai, Yueh-Ming; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen; Gau, Churn-Shiouh – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Limited literature documents injury-proneness of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in western population. However, only a few studies prospectively investigated the prediction of ADHD to injuries without considering other psychiatric and physical conditions and there is lack of such data in Asian population. To prospectively examine the…

Bart, Orit; Podoly, Tamar; Bar-Haim, Yair – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are two developmental disorders with considerable comorbidity. The impact of Methylphenidate (MPH) on ADHD symptoms is well documented. However, the effects of MPH on motor coordination are less studied. We assessed the influence of MPH on motor performance…

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Childhood Epilepsy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Reilly, Colin J. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
ADHD and epilepsy common are both common childhood disorders and both can have significant negative consequences on a child's behavioural, learning, and social development. Both conditions can co-occur and population studies suggest that the prevalence of ADHD in childhood epilepsy is between 12 and 17%. The prevalence of epilepsy in ADHD is lower…
