Abstract

Background and Aim: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder usually characterized by poor coordination and clumsiness. In the present study, we tried to evaluate the effect of perceptual-motor training on the balance function of children with ADHD.
Materials and Methods: The present study followed a semi experimental design with pretest-posttest also including a control group. Participants included 20 boys with ADHD aged between 9-12 years who were selected, based on available sampling, from one of the clinics in the city of Tabriz and randomly divided into two equal groups of experimental and control. Perceptual-motor training was conducted for 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week, on experimental group. The data were collected using the Stork Balance Stand Test, Functional Reach Test, and Modified Bass Test of Dynamic Balance. Data analysis was performed using covariance analysis method.
Results: The results showed that the intervention did not have a significant effect on static balance, but significantly improved semi-dynamic balance and dynamic balance of children with ADHD.
Conclusion: The perceptual-motor training can be used to improve balance in children with ADHD.
