- Abstract
The developmental disorder of motor coordination (DCD) is characterized by motor difficulties in performing daily tasks and academic difficulties, with no neurological disorder (APA, 2000). This research aims to analyze the equilibrium unipedal in children with, in risk and without DCD from 3 to 6 years. The sample consisted of 18 children, 7 at risk and 11 typical. It was been applied the test of static equilibrium unipedal M- ABC2 (Movement Assessment Battery for Children - 2) (Henderson & Sugden, 1992), and it was performed the three-dimensional kinematic analysis (Ariel Performance Analysis System) for the locations sacrum, D12, C7 and vertex. In the present study, children with DCD presented difficulties in developing skills and underperformed compared with typical children (Van Waelvelde, De Weerdt, De Cock, & Smits - Engelsman, 2004). For the unipedal equilibrium, and despite we found no significant difference, the group at risk showed greater variability in all the anatomical sites in comparison with the typical group. The center of variation is higher in children with risk of DCD, mainly in C7 and vertex. For the understanding this type of variability present, we suggest recurrence analysis.
