Understanding heterogeneity of balance control in children with developmental coordination disorder and its impact on motor performance: a synergistic approach using brain imaging, neuromechanics and functional assessments. University of Antwerp
Worldwide, developmental coordination disorder (DCD) accounts for 5-6% of the school-aged children showing a motor delay with an onset early in childhood that often persists in adolescence. Poor balance control is the most significant motor problem occurring in 73-87% of the cases of children with DCD. These balance deficits severely affect everyday functioning but underlying control mechanisms are still poorly understood. Therefore, the main ...
