Comparison of fractionated reaction time between cerebral palsied and non-handicapped youth

Creator:: Parks, Susan T.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to study the effects of cerebral palsy on the ability to plan and execute a gross motor movement, as measured by the fractionation of Simple Reaction Time (SRT) into its premotor (central) and motor (peripheral) components. The experimental task required subjects (N = 10...

Motor and social development : differences between children with and without autism?

Creator:: Irwin, J. Megan
Abstract:: Current prevalence statistics suggest 1 in 88 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (CDC, 2012). ASDs are pervasive developmental disorders characterized by social communicative deficits and restricted interests and behaviors (APA, 2000). Children with ASD also display deficits in motor skills (Green et al., 2002: Pan, Tsai, &...

Examining physical activity and gross motor skills in children with developmental disabilities

Creator:: Cook, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Many children with developmental disabilities are not engaging in the recommended amount of daily physical activity (Pan, 2008; Shields, Dodd, & Abblitt, 2009; Whitt-Glover et al., 2006), which can lead to additional health disparities and decreased quality of life for children in this population (Field & Jette, 2007). The relationship...

Moving Towards Academic Success and Life Long Learning

Creator:: Becker, Derek R.
Abstract:: Early learning skills, such as executive function (EF), are a key component of healthy development and predict long-term academic success. Yet many children are entering kindergarten without the necessary skills (including EF) that are needed to set them on a successful learning trajectory. Early prekindergarten classrooms that encourage a high...

Predicting School Readiness Using Motor Skill Proficiency of At-Risk Preschoolers

Creator:: Tepfer, Amanda Taek Soon
Abstract:: Background: Early childhood is filled with incredible growth in all areas of development and offers a critical period for optimal learning (Lerner, 2002). During this critical period both motor skills (Bouffard, Watkinson, Thompson, Causgrove Dunn, & Romanow, 1996; Clark & Metcalfe, 2002; Lubans, Morgan, Cliff, Barnett, & Okely, 2010; Stodden...

The relationship between balance and fundamental motor skills in children five to nine years of age

Creator:: Overlock, Jennifer Ann
Abstract:: The ability to establish and maintain balance is claimed to be an important prerequisite of movement tasks. However, despite this general belief, there is limited empirical evidence to support the contribution of balance in motor skill performance. Furthermore, psychometric properties of using a computerized force platform to assess balance ability...

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). Children with disabilities impacting motor skill development thus are at greater risk for low PA participation. Evidence indicates...
