This study investigated whether visuomotor learning is impaired in children with DCD compared to typically developing children (TD). The results showed that, despite no differences in visuomotor adaptation or internal modelling, children with DCD had lower movement accuracy and speed, and higher movement variability compared to TD children.
Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is one of the most prevalent developmental disorders in school-aged children. The mechanisms and etiology underlying DCD remain somewhat unclear. Altered visuomotor adaptation and internal model deficits are discussed in the literature. Aims: The study aimed to investigate visuomotor adaptation and internal modelling to determine whether and to what extent visuomotor learning might be impaired in children with DCD compared to typically developing children (TD). Further, possible compensatory movements during visuomotor learning were explored. Methods and procedures: Participants were 12 children with DCD (age 12.4 +/- 1.8, four female) and 18 age-matched TD (12.3 +/- 1.8, five female). Visuomotor learning was measured with the Motor task manager. Compensatory movements were parameterized by spatial and temporal variables. Outcomes and results: Despite no differences in visuomotor adaptation or internal modelling, significant main effects for group were found in parameters representing movement accuracy, motor speed, and movement variability between DCD and TD. Conclusions and implications: Children with DCD showed comparable performances in visuomotor adaptation and internal modelling to TD. However, movement variability was increased, whereas movement accuracy and motor speed were reduced, suggesting decreased motor acuity in children with DCD.
