简要总结
ADHD is generally associated with significant comorbidities including motor disorders in up to 96% of cases. Within these, disturbances of balance and motor coordination that interfere with school learning and daily activities are present in 47% of school children with ADHD. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine whether Vojta therapy is beneficial for the improvement of balance, postural control, hand-eye coordination and manipulative motor skills in children with ADHD, hyperactive and/or combined, aged 6-12 years.

结局指标
主要结局
Sensory organisation test (NEUROCOM dynamic posturology)
时间窗: 15 minutes
This test is a commonly used research tool in the assessment of the sensory organisation of postural control and has previously been used in children. The system's force platform provides data on the movement of the centre of gravity. Both the platform and the environment can move in response to the anteroposterior displacement of the child's body under certain conditions of sensory override or conflict. The child is asked to stand upright, barefoot, with arms alongside the body, feet placed in a certain position on the platform, for 20sec, trying to remain as stable as possible during the 3 trials of each of the 6 conditions of the SOT. For their safety, the child shall be restrained by a harness. In each test, the system compares the child's displacement with its theoretical limits of stability, generating a score. The higher the value, the better the stability. The software also calculates an overall score from the scores obtained in each of the 6 conditions
