The battery assessment for motor evaluation, Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2), composed of motor tests and a questionnaire (MABC-2 Checklist), has been used and tested in various nationalities to identify children with motor problems. However, due to cultural differences between the country of origin of the protocol (United Kingdom) and some cultures where the protocol was used (Australia, Spain and Japan), it was noticed the need for further studies and adaptations in some parts of the test for use in those countries. This study aimed to validate part of the MABC-2, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition - Checklist to Portuguese language. We performed the translation of the instrument into Brazilian Portuguese by a standard procedure of translation, back translation and judgment by a committee of experts, composed by four teachers and seven doctors. The experts examined the original and translated to check consistency between the versions and suggest modifications. Adaptations were made in consensus with the committee of experts, defined a Pre-Final version, which was then tested. The instrument was answered by 40 children's responsible and 16 teachers (14 regents and two Physical Education teachers). The children's responsible also answered the DCDQ-BR questionnaire. Were evaluated with the motor tests of the instrument MABC-2, 98 school children aged between 7 and 10 years, of both sexes. The final version of the instrument MABC-2 Checklist presented a high level of internal consistency with alpha equal to 0.953, a result pointed out as being excellent. Although the instrument has been presented valid, it did not show a high degree of trust in inter-rater reliability test, showing a statistically significant difference between groups (810.145, p = 0.000). When construct and concurrent validity was tested, it was demonstrated a statistically significant difference between MABC-2 motor tests, Checklist and DQDQ BR, being (F (2.177) = 810.145, p = 0.000). The post-hoc Tukey test revealed a significant difference between the motor evaluation tests of MABC-2, DCDQ-BR questionnaire and MABC-2 Checklist completed by children's responsible and teachers, these being (p = 0.000) for all cases. Using data obtained in this study, we can conclude that the translation of the instrument is valid, but the diagnosis was made through the instrument MABC-2 Checklist showed no accuracy when trying to identify children with motor problems. It is suggested that future studies consider to develop a national and / or regional reference tables, and also consider different tables for responsible, teachers and other groups that may answer the instrument.
A bateria de testes de avaliação motora Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2), composta por testes motores e um questionário (MABC-2 Checklist), tem sido usada e testada em diversas nacionalidades para identificar crianças com problemas motores. Porém, em virtude de diferenças culturais entre o país de origem do protocolo (Reino Unido) e algumas culturas onde o protocolo foi utilizado (Austrália, Espanha e Japão), percebeu-se a necessidade de mais estudos e de adequações em algumas partes do teste para o uso nestes países. O presente estudo teve como proposta validar parte do MABC-2; o Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition Checklist para a língua portuguesa. Foi realizada a tradução do instrumento para o português brasileiro através de um procedimento padrão de tradução, retrotradução e julgamento dessas por um comitê de especialistas composto por 4 mestres e 7 doutores. O grupo de especialistas examinou a versão original e traduzida para verificar a concordância entre as versões e sugerir modificações. Foram feitas adaptações em consenso com o comitê de especialistas, sendo definido uma versão Pré-Final; que em seguida foi testada. Responderam ao instrumento, 40 responsáveis e 16 professores (14 regentes e 2 de Educação Física). Os responsáveis também responderam o questionário DCDQ-BR. Foram avaliados com os testes motores do instrumento MABC-2, 98 escolares com idades entre 7 e 10 anos, de ambos os sexos. A versão final do instrumento MABC-2 Checklist apresentou elevado índice de consistência interna com Alfa igual a 0,953; resultado apontado como sendo excelente. Embora o instrumento tenha se apresentado válido, ele não apresentou um alto grau de fidedignidade no teste de fidedignidade entre avaliadores, evidenciando uma diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos (810,145, p=0,000). Quando posto à prova as validades de constructo e concorrente, ficou evidenciada uma diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os testes MABC-2 motor, Checklist e DQDQ-BR sendo (F(2,177) = 810,145, p=0,000). O teste post-hoc Tukey revelou que houve diferença significativa entre os testes de avaliação motora do MABC-2, o questionário DCDQ-BR e o MABC-2 Checklist respondido por responsáveis e professores, sendo estes (p=0,000) para todos os casos. Através dos dados obtidos neste estudo, pode-se concluir que a tradução do instrumento é válida, porém o diagnóstico realizado através do instrumento MABC-2 Checklist não apresentou exatidão ao tentar identificar crianças com problemas motores. Sugere-se que em estudos futuros seja considerado o desenvolvimento de tabelas de referência nacional e/ou regional para o instrumento; bem como tabelas de referência diferenciada para responsáveis, professores e demais grupos que venham responder o instrumento.

O movimento está presente em todos os momentos da nossa vida, pelo que se torna fulcral a identificação de falhas ao nível da coordenação motora. Para a identificação da perturbação do desenvolvimento da coordenação motora existem já vários instrumentos, sendo um dos mais utilizados atualmente, o Movement Assessment Battery for children 2. O presente estudo tem como primeiro objetivo confirmar a aplicação do modelo teórico de referência original desta bateria, contribuindo para a sua validação e confiabilidade na área da motricidade. O segundo objetivo prende-se com a comparação da coordenação motora em cada uma das provas que constituem o instrumento, entre rapazes e raparigas, entre os 3 e os 6 anos de idade, no Alentejo. Esta comparação vai permitir uma intervenção prática direcionada às necessidades de cada criança. Após a aplicação da bateria e análise dos dados foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas em três provas do Movement Assessment Battery for children 2, sendo que duas provas dizem respeito à avaliação da habilidade com bola em que os rapazes apresentaram um desempenho superior comparativamente às raparigas, e a última prova refere-se à avaliação do equilíbrio estático em que as raparigas apresentaram um desempenho superior comparativamente aos rapazes. Estes resultados podem ser justificados com as diferentes oportunidades de prática proporcionadas a ambos os sexos, consoante a cultura em que estão inseridos (Lopes et al., 2003); ### ABSTRACT: CATARINA, V. P. (2013). COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MOTOR COORDINATION, BETWEEN BOYS AND GIRLS, AGED 3 TO 6 YEARS OLD, IN THE REGION OF ALENTEJO. DISSERTAÇÃO DE MESTRADO, UNIVERSIDADE DE ÉVORA, ÉVORA. The movement is present in every moments of our lives, so it is crucial to identify gaps in current of motor coordination. To identify the developmental coordination disorder there are already many instruments, one of the most widely used is the Movement Assessment Battery for children 2. The present study aimed primarily to confirm the application of the theoretical model of the original reference of this battery, contributing to its reliability and validity in the area of motor skills. The second objective relates to the comparison of motor coordination in each of the tests that make up the instrument, between boys and girls, between 3 and 6 years old, in Alentejo. This comparison will allow a practical intervention targeted to the needs of each child. After the application of the battery and data analysis were found statistically significant differences in three tests of the Movement Assessment Battery for children 2, and two proofs concern to the evaluation of ball skills in which boys outperformed compared to females, and the last proof refers to the evaluation of static equilibrium in which girls outperformed compared to boys. These results can be explained with the different practice opportunities offered to both sexes, depending on the culture in which they live (Lopes et al ., 2003).

Verskeie navorsers het bevind dat motoriese agterstande by drie- tot vyfjarige kinders voorkom en dat daar 'n beperkte hoeveelheid siftingsmeetinstrumente beskikbaar is om die moontlikheid van motoriese agterstande by die kind jonger as vyf jaar te identifiseer. Sommige faktore wat navorsers meen ‘n invloed op die motoriese agterstande van kinders het, is ouderdom, ras, geslag en sosio-ekonomiese status. Hierdie motoriese agterstande kan tot ontwikkelingskoördinasieversteuring (DCD) aanleiding gee wat op 'n vroeë ouderdom geïdentifiseer moet word ten einde effektiewe hulp te verleen. Hierdie studie se doel was tweedoelig. Dit was eerstens daarop gemik om die aard en omvang van motoriese uitvalle gegrond op sosio-ekonomiese klas, geslag, ras en ouderdom by 'n geselekteerde groep drie- tot vyfjarige Suid-Afrikaanse kinders te bepaal. Die tweede doel was om die geskiktheid van die “Little DCDQ” vraelys vir die identifisering van DCD by 'n geselekteerde groep drie- tot vyfjarige kinders te bepaal. Vir die eerste doel is 53 kleuters (N=53) by die studie betrek. Die proefpersone is volgens hulle chronologiese ouderdom in twee oudersdomsgroepe verdeel, naamlik 3.0-3.11 jaar (n=24) en 4.0-4.11 jaar (n=29). Een en twintig seuns (n=21) en twee en dertig dogters (n=32) is ingesluit. Twee rasgroepe, blankes (n=20) en swartes (n=33), is in die ondersoekgroep verteenwoordig. Die groep is ook verdeel in twee sosio-ekonomiese klasse, gebaseer op inkomste van die gesin, naamlik laag (n=31) en hoog (n=22). Die proefpersone is met die “Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2)” getoets om die aard van hulle motoriese agterstande te bepaal. Die “Statistica for Windows 2013” Statsoftrekenaarprogrampakket is gebruik vir data-ontleding. Vir doelstelling 1 is data eerstens vir beskrywende doeleindes deur middel van rekenkundige gemiddeldes ( X ), standaardafwykings (sa) en minimum en maksimum waardes ontleed. Frekwensieverdelings is verder gebruik om die DCD status van die groep te ontleed. Verskille met betrekking tot sosio-ekonomiese klas, geslag, ras en ouderdom is vergelyk deur van onafhanklike t-toetsing gebruik te maak, waar p≤0.05 as betekenisvol aanvaar is. Uit die resultate wat bestudeer is, blyk dit wel die geval te wees dat motoriese uitvalle by drie- tot vyfjarige kinders voorkom en dat sosio-ekonomiese klas, geslag, ras en ouderdom 'n rol speel. Resultate toon dat 11.3% van die groep met ernstige DCD geïdentifiseer is. Die hoë sosio-ekonomiese klas (22.7%), meisies (15.6%), swart kinders (18.2%) en die drie jaar ouderdomsgroep (12.5%) het die meeste kinders in die ernstige DCD klassifikasie gehad. Geen betekenisvolle ouderdomsverskille het tussen die twee ouderdomsgroepe voorgekom nie, buiten vir die gooi- en vangvaardighede waar die driejarige groep betekenisvol beter (p≤0.05) as die vierjarige groep gevaar het. Wit kinders het beter as swart kinders in die fynmotoriese vaardighede presteer en seuns het betekenisvol beter (p≤0.05) as dogters in die gooi- en vangvaardigheid presteer. Geen statistiese verskille met betrekking tot die veranderlikes wat getoets is, is tussen die verskillende sosioekonomiese klasse gevind nie. Vir doelstelling 2 het 110 kleuters se ouers die “Little Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (Little DCDQ)” voltooi. Volgens die toetstotaal is die kleuters in ‘n rangorde geplaas, waarna elke tweede kleuter op die rangorde met die MABC-2 getoets is om die vlak van ooreenstemming tussen die twee meetinstrumente te bepaal (N=53). Betroubaarheid is ontleed deur Chronbach Alpha-waardes vir die twee toetsbatterye te bepaal. Geldigheid van die “Little DCDQ” is ontleed deur eerstens van Spearman korrelasiekoëffisiënte gebruik te maak waarna kruistabulering gebruik is om vas te stel hoeveel kinders in die onderskeie DCD kategorieë ooreenstemmend deur die vraelys en toetsbattery geklassifiseer is om sodoende die sensitiwiteit en die spesifisiteit van die vraelys te bepaal. Die “Little DCDQ” en die MABC-2 toon goeie betroubaarheid vir al die veranderlikes wat 'n Cronbach Alpha van hoër as r=0.8 getoon het. Die “Little DCDQ” het matige korrelasie getoon met twee van die vier veranderlikes van die MABC-2, waar die vang- en gooi afdeling van die MABC-2 korrelasie van r=0.3 met die algehele koördinasie afdeling van die “Little DCDQ” en die totaal van die MABC-2 'n korrelasie van r=0.29 met die totaal van die “Little DCDQ” getoon het. Die “Little DCDQ” se sensitiwiteit en spesifisiteit het egter nie aanvaarbare resultate getoon nie (r=57,1% en r=81,2%) in vergelyking met die MABC-2 vir die totale van die “Little DCDQ”. Samevattend kan uit die resultate gerapporteer word dat ras en geslag wel 'n rol speel in die aard en omvang van motoriese uitvalle by drie- tot vyfjarige kinders. Uit die huidige studie het dit egter geblyk dat sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede nie so 'n groot rol speel nie. Dit het ook duidelik geword dat die “Little DCDQ” as 'n moontlike siftingsmeetinstrument vir die identifikasie van DCD by kinders jonger as vyf jaar woonagtig in Suid-Afrika oorweeg kan word, maar met aanpassings. Die “Little DCDQ” moet in meer diepte ondersoek word vir gebruiksmoontlikhede om DCD by kinders jonger as vyf jaar te identifiseer ten opsigte van die uitdagings wat die Suid-Afrikaanse kultuur en grootword omstandighede vir kinders se ontwikkeling inhou.

Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism is a form of pervasive developmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication and restricted and stereotyped interests. These children are often clumsy and motor uncoordinated. They also performed worse in standardized tests of motor function. In this diploma thesis we used Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2 (MABC-2) for assessment motor skills in children with Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism aged 7-10 years in comparison with the group of children developing typically. Our study included 9 children with Asperger syndrome, 3 children with high-functioning autism and 64 children with typical development. Evident motor deficit (below 5. percentile) was found in 2 children with Asperger syndrome and 3 children with high-functioning autism. 1 child with Asperger syndrome was in a risk of motor deficit (6.-16. percentile). Children with Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism performed significantly worse than children developing typically in a total score of this test. Significant difference was found in two components of MABC-2, in Aiming and catching (AC) and Balance (BAL). Better results reached children with typical development. Results of this study indicate that children with Asperger syndrome...

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of children with Down syndrome. Down syndrome is the most common genetic disorder with trisomy 21st chromosome with typical overal psychomotoric delay. The thesis is focused on the specific difficultes of children with Down syndrome, with emphasis on motor skills. Children with Down syndrome are examined by standard motion test Movement Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd edition (MABC-2). There are a total of 19 children ranging in age 3-14 years. The control group of children is chosen in similar age group, a total of 20 children. Simultaneously at work is compared a parameter of achievement independent walking. This milestone is very often assessed and used in children with Down syndrome. The results show that children with Down syndrome in comparison with healthy peers did not achieve the similar level of motor skills. In the percentile rating, the children reached the level below the 5th percentile of standard norms. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

This diploma thesis deals with very low birth weight children in relation to the occurrence of motor problems. The theoretical part provides an overview of knowledge about the low birth children's problems, early postnatal problems and problems from childhood to adulthood in the physical, psychological and pedagogic field. The main part of the theoretical information concerns the occurrence of motor disorders, particularly the developmental dyspraxia and motor disorders about very low birth children. The aim of the practical part of the work was to determine whether low birth weight infants have higher incidence of developmental dyspraxia in comparison with term infants. The research group consisted of 25 low birth weight children, they were examined by Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2 (MABC-2). Children were examinate for posture and postural functions compiled using our protocol. The another aim of the practical part of the work was to determine whether low birht weight children have higher incidence of physical activity in steps by week in comparison with normal birth weight infants. There was significant difference in the incidence of motor disorders between the research group and the control group of 73 normal birth weight children and standard population and the group of late...

Diplomová práce Hodnocení vývojové dyspraxie u dětí s vývojovou dysfázií Abstract This thesis focuses on possible incidence of developmental dyspraxia among children with developmental dysphasia. Theoretical part of the study summarizes information about developmental dyspraxia (sometimes also known as developmental coordination disorder). It also describes developmental dysphasia which is predominantly studied in logopaedics and it is less known in physiotherapy. The link between these disorders is the topic of the last chapter of the theoretical part. The aim of the practical part is to evaluate motor skills of children with developmental dysphasia with usage of diagnostic battery Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2. Both foreign and newly published Czech population norms have been used for analysis of the results. In the research, 89 children with average age of 69 months have been examined. The first group included 41 children with developmental dysphasia. For this first group, the control group of 48 children was also set up. The research proved statistically significant difference between motor skills of children with developmental dysphasia in comparison to the control group. This difference has been proven by both Czech and foreign norms. On the other hand difference between motor skills of...

Diploma thesis "Diagnosis of developmental dyspraxia in children and adolescents with a focus on the preference of the upper or lower extremities in sport" summarizes all available information about etiology, diagnosis and therapy of developmental dyspraxia in the theoretical part. The practical part deals with the use of the diagnostic test Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2, which is designed to identify motor disorders in children. Developmental dyspraxia is very often associated with attention problems so the Test of Attention d2 was used. Difficulty with attention has been confirmed in individuals with impaired physical abilities. There was no significant difference in the overall motor skills between handball players and soccer players. The evaluation of particular components showed significantly better results for girls playing handball in the field of manual dexterity.

10 Annotation This diploma thesis deals with relations between developmental coordination disorder (or developmental dyspraxia) and laterality and handedness. In the theoretical part this work summarizes actual knowledge about the origin and the development of laterality and handedness and describes possibilities how to examine it. It also deals with knowledge about developmental coordination disorder, its characteristic, etiology, prevalence and diagnostic possibilities. The aim of the practical part was to evaluate motor difficulties in children with right and left handedness and to compare differencies. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2 was used for that evaluation. Motor skills in 64 children (30 left-handed and 34 right-handed) were evaluated. We haven't found any difference between those groups of children, their results were very balanced. We have also tested the motor skills in children with crossed eye-hand laterality, any significant difference hasn't been found in comparison with standard population. The group of children with learning disabilities has been also evaluated, we have found statisticaly significant difference between their motor skills and motor skills of standard population.

This diploma thesis focuses on two conditions that typically occure in childhood - poor posture and developmental coordination disorder. The theoretical part summarizes recent information on these diseases focusing on their etiology, prevalence, prognosis, methods of assessment, diagnosis and treatment. The main aim of the practical part was to evaluate the motor control of treated children with poor posture in comparison with children from the general population. The research group (13 children, mean age 9.85 years) and control group (16 children, mean age 9.94 years) were assessed using Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2. We found no significant difference between motor skills of treated children with poor posture and motor skills of children representing the general population. We also analysed whether treated children with poor posture reported less physical activity compared with the general population. By gathering data from questionnaires (completed by parents of tested children), no statistically significant difference was found. The difference was neither detected in test of posture and postural functions, where we investigated how poor posture of treated children can influence the results of the test.

Abstract 　　Purpose：The purpose of this study was to examine the inter- and intra-rater reliability between a therapist and a physical education teacher scoring in the Movement Assessment Battery for Children test（Movement ABC test）and the Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition（TGMD-2）. Method：Participants were 128 children who were randomly divided into two groups, aged 7-10. Two evaluators（a therapist and physical education teacher）used the Movement ABC test and TGMD-2 individually. The intra-class correlation coefficients（ICCs） was used to determine the intra- and inter-rater reliability. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the Movement ABC test and the TGMD-2. Results：The inter-rater reliability was poor to moderate（ICCs=0.22~0.70）and the intra-rater reliability in scorers was moderate to good（ICCs=0.50~0.84） in the Movement ABC test. The inter-rater reliability（ICCs=0.71）and the intra-rater reliability（ICCs=0.67~0.71） were moderate in TGMD-2. Significant correlations（P<0.01）between Movement ABC and TGMD-2 tests were found. Conclusions：Proper braining of evaluation to use the Movement ABC test and TGMD-2 is very important so that the results of those tests may be adequate interpretation as children’s motor abilities. Reasonable consistency between therapists and physical education teachers in the use of the Movement ABC test and TGMD-2
