Abstract

Objective s To explore the effect of different intervention Methods on motor ability of children with developmental coordination disorder(DCD),and to provide the theoretical basis for the treatment of DCD children. Methods Studies included in this review were from papers published from Jan,1995 to Mar,2015 which were described as systematic review,(randomized) clinical trial,or crossover design about the effect of motor intervention in children with DCD.A total of 41 studies met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review.Interventions were coded under three types:1) task-oriented intervention,2) process-oriented therapies,and 3) medical supplements.These articles were evaluated according to the Levels of Evidence Oxford and PEDro. Results The evidence level of all the studies included was in the moderate or above.A comparison of three interventions showed that it is obvious strong effects for task-oriented intervention,whereas the process-oriented intervention was weak and treatment with methylphenidate was moderate. Conclusion sTask-oriented intervention is the most effective method for children with DCD to improve their motor performance,and much better than processoriented therapies intervention method.
