Reaction time and motor skills in children with developmental disorders
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how quickly children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) react and how their motor skills (like movement and coordination) compare to typically developing children. It may help understand how PDD affects these abilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 6 years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) from a child psychiatrist or pediatric neurologist.
- Your child must not have other neurological or orthopedic conditions that could affect movement (for the PDD group).
- Your child must not have severe vision or hearing problems that would interfere with the tests.
- Your child must not have had any orthopedic surgery or injury in the last 6 months that affects movement.
- Your child must be able to understand and follow simple instructions during the assessment.

This study looks at how children with ADHD develop motor skills compared to children without ADHD. Your child will take part in assessments and receive support to improve their movement and coordination.
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 looks at how babies born early or on time develop their motor skills. Researchers will watch videos of your baby's early movements and then ask you to fill out a questionnaire about their development when they are 18 to 36 months old.
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 checks balance and motor skills in children with learning disabilities. It may help understand how these skills are affected and lead to better support.
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.
