Motorische Ungeschicklichkeit

Published Online:March 09, 2015https://doi.org/10.1026/1612-5010.11.4.147

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Das Kind mit koordinativen Problemen in der Motorik benötigt spezielle Aufmerksamkeit im frühen Kindesalter. Rechtzeitige Diagnose und konsequente Intervention der motorischen Ungeschicklichkeit (DCD) wirken sich positiv auf die weitere motorische Entwicklung aus. Darüber hinaus lässt sich durch eine frühe Intervention das psycho-soziale Stigma, das durch ungeschickte Bewegungen sowie dem Problem in Sport und Spiel mit anderen Kindern mitzuhalten, begegnen. Die Möglichkeit für diese Kinder, am Sport mit Gleichaltrigen teilzuhaben, hilft ihnen in ihrer Sozialisation. Das Ziel dieses Überblicksbeitrages ist es, motorische Ungeschicklichkeit zu definieren, typische Erscheinungsformen, Diagnosekriterien sowie bestehende Therapien vorzustellen.


Developmental coordination disorder. Diagnosis and therapy

Abstract. The child with coordinative motor problems requires special attention in the early infancy. Timely diagnosis and consistent intervention of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) can positively affect further motor development. With early intervention, we are able to influence the psychosocial stigma caused by awkward movements, which can result in exclusion in sport and play activities. The possibility for these children to participate in sports activities with others helps them in their socialization. The aim of this overview is it to define motor awkwardness and to present typical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, as well as existing therapies.
