Motor Functioning in Young People With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Combined Type: A Three - Dimensional Motion Analysis Study

Grant number: 1004387 | Funding period: 2011 - 2014

Completed

Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder –combined type (ADHD-CT) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with a progressively devastating impact on psychosocial development. The first objective of this study is to use 3D-motion analysis to ‘probe’ the underlying brain dysfunction which characterises ADHD-CT. The second objective of this study is to improve our understanding of the link between movement problems, and (a) injury proneness, and (b) social-communicative problems, in children with ADHD-CT.
