Core exercises for coordination disorder in children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether video-guided core exercises (exercises for the muscles in the belly and back) can help improve motor skills in children with developmental coordination disorder. It might help your child if they struggle with coordination and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 14 years old.
- Your child has been diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder (a condition that makes it hard to coordinate movements).
- Your child's motor skills are below the 16th percentile on a standard test (MABC-3).
- Your child has not had treatment for motor problems in the last 6 months.
- Your child does not have other conditions that explain the movement difficulties, like severe autism, ADHD, or an intellectual disability.
- Your child has no recent spine or leg surgery, severe vision/hearing problems, epilepsy, or uncontrolled neurological conditions.

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 tests whether indoor rock climbing can help children with coordination difficulties improve their motor skills and daily activities. It may be a fun way to build strength, balance, and confidence.
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 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.
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.
This study compares two types of exercises—Frenkel's exercises and core stability exercises—to see which helps children with ataxic cerebral palsy improve their balance and movement. The goal is to find the best way to help your child stand, sit, and move more safely.
