Abstract

This study examined whether table tennis as a method of sensorimotor training improves haptic and motor function and to what extent haptic function gain correlates with changes in motor ability in children with probable developmental coordination disorder (pDCD). Children with pDCD were randomly assigned to the table tennis and nontraining control groups. The children in the table tennis group received 36 sessions of table tennis training, including ball balancing, hitting the ball against the wall, strokes, and serving. Haptic sensitivity, acuity, and motor function domains were measured. The results showed a 41.5% improvement in haptic sensitivity in children exposed to table tennis training compared with 2.8% in those without training. This improved haptic sensitivity significantly correlated with motor function gain, suggesting that somatosensory gains occur simultaneously with changes in motor function in children with pDCD. This novel upper limb motor training approach may be an interesting method of sensorimotor training in neurological rehabilitation in children with pDCD.

乒乓球作为一种感觉运动训练方法，可诱导可能存在发育性协调障碍的儿童的触觉和运动增益。

本研究考察了乒乓球作为一种感觉运动训练方法是否能改善可能患有发展性协调障碍(pDCD)的儿童的触觉和运动功能，以及触觉功能的增强与运动能力的变化在多大程度上相关。患有pDCD的儿童被随机分配到乒乓球组和非训练组。乒乓球组的孩子接受了36次乒乓球训练，包括平衡球、击球、击球和发球。测量触觉灵敏度、敏锐度和运动功能域。结果显示，接受乒乓球训练的儿童的触觉灵敏度提高了41.5%，而没有接受训练的儿童的触觉灵敏度提高了2.8%。这种改善的触觉敏感性与运动功能的增加显著相关，这表明pDCD儿童的体感增加与运动功能的改变同时发生。这种新颖的上肢运动训练方法可能是一种有趣的感觉运动训练方法，用于pDCD儿童的神经康复。

期刊介绍： Motor Control (MC), a peer-reviewed journal, provides a multidisciplinary examination of human movement across the lifespan. To keep you abreast of current developments in the field of motor control, it offers timely coverage of important topics, including issues related to motor disorders. This international journal publishes many types of research papers, from clinical experimental to modeling and theoretical studies. These papers come from such varied disciplines as biomechanics, kinesiology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, psychology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. Motor Control, the official journal of the International Society of Motor Control, is designed to provide a multidisciplinary forum for the exchange of scientific information on the control of human movement across the lifespan, including issues related to motor disorders. Motor Control encourages submission of papers from a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, biomechanics, kinesiology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, psychology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. This peer-reviewed journal publishes a wide variety of types of research papers including clinical experimental, modeling, and theoretical studies. To be considered for publication, papers should clearly demonstrate a contribution to the understanding of control of movement. In addition to publishing research papers, Motor Control publishes review articles, quick communications, commentaries, target articles, and book reviews. When warranted, an entire issue may be devoted to a specific topic within the area of motor control.
