Active Video Games in Children With DCD
Sponsor: ZEYNEP KOLİT
Summary
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a condition that affects a child's ability to perform coordinated motor activities and may also impact visual perception and motor planning skills. Children with DCD often experience difficulties in daily activities, school tasks, and participation in play and sports. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether adding active video game-based training to a conventional occupational therapy program improves visual perception and visual praxis in children with DCD. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving active video game-based training in addition to conventional occupational therapy or a control group receiving conventional occupational therapy alone. The intervention will be delivered twice weekly for 8 weeks. The findings of this study may help determine whether active video game-based interventions are an effective and engaging approach for improving visual-perceptual and visual-motor planning skills in children with DCD.

Active Video Game Training
Participants will receive active video game-based training using Nintendo Wii Fit Plus in addition to conventional occupational therapy. The program will be delivered twice weekly for 8 weeks (16 sessions total), with each session lasting approximately 45-60 minutes. The intervention includes balance, aerobic, strengthening, and yoga-based interactive games designed to promote visual-perceptual, motor planning, and motor coordination skills in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder.
Conventional Occupational Therapy
Participants will receive a conventional occupational therapy program. The program will be delivered twice weekly for 8 weeks (16 sessions total), with each session lasting approximately 45-60 minutes.
