Effectiveness of Motor Imagery and Task-oriented Training in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder
Spain99 participantsStarted 2019-12-16
Plain-language summary
Experimental study based on the effectiveness of motor imagery and task-oriented training over the motor competence in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).
A bilateral hypothesis is assumed for the clinical trial:
* Null hypothesis: physiotherapeutic intervention programs through motor imagery combined with task-oriented training DO NOT modify the parameters of motor competence, anxiety and participation in children susceptible to observation of DCD.
* Alternative hypothesis: physiotherapeutic intervention programs through motor imagery combined with task-oriented training MODIFY the parameters of motor competence, anxiety and participation in children susceptible to observation of DCD.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Children of school age, aged between 6 and 12, susceptible to the presence of Developmental Coordination Disorder. The sample of participants in the control group will be composed for children with identical characteristics, who will carry out the development of their usual school activity and who will receive the same treatment once the results are obtained.
Exclusion Criteria:
* diagnosed neurological pathology not associated with DCD or any physical or psychological condition that prevents the completion of the proposed intervention.
* absence of authorization of informed consent by a father, mother or legal tutor.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

Changes in children´s motor competence
Timeframe: It´s estimated an application time of 20 minutes per evaluation. One application immediately before the intervention and another application immediately after the intervention.
