研究概览
简要总结
The main objective of the study is to gain insights in how children learn a balance task and whether there is a difference between children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder. Furthermore, the investigators are interested in the brain activity of these children while learning this new balance task.

入选标准
- •For children with DCD
- •Children with the clinical diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) based on criteria of the DSM-5 (APA, 2013), diagnosed by a pediatrician.
- •Children who have no formal diagnosis are evaluated by the research team using the diagnostic criteria as outlined in the inclusion criteria, these children will be included as "suspected of having DCD"

- •For children without DCD
- •Total score at or below the 25th percentile on the Movement Assessment Battery for children, second edition
- •Normal postural control, objectified by the Kids-BESTest-2 (score at or above 80%)
- •Match with children with DCD based on their sex, age and potential comorbidities.
排除标准

研究组 & 干预措施
Learning of a new balance task in virtual reality
All children will perform a single training session (30 minutes) in a virtual reality environment, where one game will be played to challenge their balance. After one week, the children will play two games in the virtual reality environment to look at the retention (same game as first session) and transfer (similar game as first session).
干预措施: Single-session balance intervention in virtual reality (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Changes in the center of mass velocity and acceleration after a single-training session in VR and after a one-week retention
时间窗: Baseline, after 30 minutes intervention, one week
Measurement of the movement strategies used by children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) during a balance task. The movement strategies are measured by looking at the center of mass velocity and acceleration during this balance task. The goal is to: (1) investigate whether there is a difference in the used strategies between baseline and after a single training session of 30 minutes; (2) see whether the changes stay present after a one-week retention; (3) see whether there are differences between children with and without DCD.
次要结局
- Hemodynamic response in cortical brain regions during balance tasks(Baseline, one week)
- Score on a comprehensive postural control measurement, Kids-BESTest-2(Baseline)
