Sensory stimulation for motor skills in children with coordination disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle sensory stimulation (like touching or feeling different textures) can improve movement and coordination in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). If your child struggles with motor skills, this therapy might help them become more coordinated and confident.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 12 and 16 years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of severe developmental coordination disorder (DCD), meaning significant difficulty with movement and coordination.
- Your child must attend a regular mainstream school (typical intellectual development).
- Your child must not have any serious bone, joint, or brain conditions (like cerebral palsy) or have had any surgeries.
- Your child must not have any current pain or muscle/joint problems, and no significant pain lasting more than two weeks in the past month.
- Your child's body mass index (BMI) must be under 22.

This study tests whether task-oriented exercises can improve coordination and daily skills in children aged 4 to 12 with developmental coordination disorder (a condition that makes motor tasks like writing or catching harder). The goal is to help them move more easily and feel more confident in everyday activities.
This study compares two types of movement training—obstacle courses versus targeted coordination exercises—for children ages 7–10 who have difficulty with coordination and motor skills. The goal is to see which approach helps children move and balance better.
This study is looking at people with developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) using specific movement and coordination assessments. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to measure it for future treatments or support.
This study evaluates sensory processing and motor coordination in children with developmental issues, and provides counseling based on the results. It may help identify specific support strategies for your child.
This study looks at how motor skills (like catching, jumping) and sensory processing (how the brain handles sights, sounds, touch) are related in children with and without certain developmental differences. The goal is to better understand these connections to help support children's development.
This study compares how children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (a condition affecting motor skills) move their bodies during balance tasks. Researchers will use special tests and motion sensors to see different movement patterns, which could help design better therapy for kids with balance or coordination challenges.
