Motor Skill Proficiency, Performance and Participation in Children with Physical Disabilities

Creator:: Ross, Samantha M.
Abstract:: Background: Mastery of fundamental motor skills (FMS) in childhood is proposed to facilitate participation in physical activity (PA) opportunities, through context-specific application of FMS (Clarke & Metclafe, 2002; Stodden et al., 2008).

Examining the influence of social behavior on motor skills during physical activity in children with physical disabilities

Creator:: Conger, Allison, Ross, Samantha, and MacDonald, Megan
Abstract:: Children with physical disabilities typically participate in physical activities that are aligned with their function. As a result, children with physical disabilities engage in solitary activities more often, leaving little room to practice age appropriate social behaviors during physical activity with peers (Livingston et al, 2011). Emerging literature supports the...
