    Study Notes

    Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)

    • DCD is a neurological disorder affecting motor skills, coordination, and movement.
    • Common standardized assessments for DCD include:
      • Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) for ages 5-15
      • Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) for ages 3-16
      • Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2) for ages 4-21
    • Task-Oriented Training is the most effective intervention for DCD, focusing on specific functional skills.
    • Four types of Task-Oriented Training:
      • Child practices components of games
    • Ineffective interventions for DCD include:
      • Chemical supplements (e.g. fatty acids)
      • Core stability training
      • Wii Training
      • Tae Kwan Do group training

    Down Syndrome: PT Management

    • Examination considerations for Down Syndrome:
      • Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS) for detecting delays
      • Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) for identifying functional skills
      • Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) for predicting future motor performance
    • Participation tests and measures for Down Syndrome:
      • Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE)
      • Preferences for Activities of Children (PAC)
      • Caregiver Assistance scale of PEDI
      • School Function Assessment
    • Interventions for Down Syndrome:
      • Tummy time
      • Treadmill training
      • Developmental milestones
      • Therapeutic horseback riding (Hippotherapy)
      • Two-wheeled bicycle training
      • Perceptual-motor therapy
      • Balance exercises (Yoga, stability exercises, corrective positioning, stair climbing)
      • Physical activity
    • Interventions for infants and toddlers (birth to 3 years):
      • Educate parents on motor skill development
      • Arrange access to parent-to-parent support
      • Prevent compensatory movements
      • Treadmill training starting at ~10 months
      • Provide adaptive seating or positioning devices
    • Interventions for preschool age (3-5 years):
      • Encourage preschool teachers to include the child in physical activities
      • Educate parents on active play
      • Consider orthoses to improve stability
      • Promote communication through ASL, visuals, and augmented assistive technology

    Cerebral Palsy: PT Management

    • Overall considerations for PT management of CP:
      • Individualized, team approach
      • Practice activities to promote learning
      • Focus on promoting participation and maximizing gross motor activity
      • Be aware of environmental and personal factors that enhance or restrict activity/participation
    • Interventions for infancy:
      • Educate family and facilitate caregiving
      • Promote optimal motor experiences and skills
      • Use variety of movements and postures to develop motor skills
    • Interventions for preschool, school age, and adolescent:
      • Postural alignment and active movement to promote motor development, fitness, and function
      • Use age-appropriate play and adaptive toys/games
      • Encourage performance at a level of success to maintain child's interest and cooperation
      • Address impairments that may hinder function or lead to secondary impairment
