Anticipatory postural adjustment deficits in children with developmental coordination disorder during a self-induced prehension task while standing on one leg

Original language description

Effective postural control is essential for motor skill development, yet the specific nature of anticipatory control in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) remains poorly understood for complex or dynamic stability tasks. This study investigated anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) during a self-initiated dynamic stability task. The Can Placement Task (CPT)—a self-initiated dynamic stability task—was performed by 23 children with DCD and 30 typically developing (TD) children aged 9–12 years. The task involved standing on one leg while also repositioning a can on the floor. Center of pressure (COP) movement was recorded by two force platforms during the five phases of the movement. The ground reaction force measured external support during both descent to pick up the can and ascent after replacing the can. The study used a mixed-design approach with group (DCD, TD) as a between-subject factor and condition (can position close or far) and phase of movement as within-subject. Distinct movement control characteristics were shown for children with DCD including a greater range of COP movement and higher COP velocity in the anterior-posterior direction prior to movement initiation compared with TD. The DCD group also relied more on external support during both the downward and upward phases of the CPT and needed more trials to complete the task. Only two significant interaction effects involving Group and the within-subject factors emerged. Children with DCD swayed significantly more at specific phases of the task, especially when coming up and restoring balance, and did not adapt COP velocity as a function of reaching distance. Dynamic control of posture in children with DCD is impaired as they struggle to generate the effective APAs necessary to maintain dynamic stability which leads to greater reliance on external support and more corrective movements. The CPT provides a valuable assessment of posture and dynamic balance control during a complex prehension movement performed on one leg; the task highlights distinct movement patterns between children with and without DCD.
