Trampoline Exercises Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder

RCT in which 28 children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) were enrolled and equally distributed into two groups; Participants in control group were treated with conventional physical therapy while experimental were given conventional physical therapy in addition to trampoline exercises. Assessment was at 0, 4 and 8 week using developmental coordination disorder questionnaire (DCDQ), pediatric balance scale (PBS) and peads quality of life (PQL)

Developmental Coordination Questionnaire (DCDQ) is a scale to diagnose 5 to 15 year children with DCD and measure their developmental features but through parents reporting, Parents are asked to compare functional task and motor activity of their children with other children

Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) is a scale used to assess child's balance. It is fourteen item scale same as Berg Balance scale.

The Peads quality of life (PQL) Measurement Model is scale for measuring health related quality of life (HRQOL) in children. It has excellent reliability of 0.88 and found measure quality of life in children ranging from healthy to chronic health conditions

Inclusion Criteria: Children with DCD indicated using DCDQ. Exclusion Criteria: No developmental coordination disorder declined to participate Progressive unstable health condition.
