The efficacy of motor imagery additional to task-oriented training for children with developmental coordination disorder: a study protocol for a randomized open-label controlled trial. Dev Neurorehabil. 2024 Oct;27(7):258-263.1751-8423http://hdl.handle.net/2183/40067Randomized controlled trial[Abstract] Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects school-age children and interferes with the practice of their daily activities. Task-oriented work and motor imagery have shown great efficacy in addressing this problem. Objective: This study presents a protocol that seeks to understand the effectiveness of a combined program of both modalities on the motor competence of children susceptible to the presence of DCD. Desing: Randomised controlled trial. Methods: The participants are children susceptible to the presence of DCD (from 6 to 12 years old) distributed into an intervention group that received a total of 20 protocol sessions and a control group that continued with their usual school routine.engThis is an Accepted Manuscript version of the following article, accepted for publication in Developmental Neurorehabilitation.
