Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to investigate whether the fine motor skills measured by the Functional Dexterity Test (FDT) in ADHD children differ from healthy controls. The second aim was to assess the applicability of the FDT assessment method among ADHD children.

Method: The FDT results as an objective assessment of hand skills were compared between 7 and 17 years old ADHD cases (n = 146) and age and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 213).

Results: We found lower dominant and non-dominant processing time (respectively for dominant hand and non-dominant hand p = .001, effect size Cliff's Delta = .22; p = .001, ES Cliff's Delta = .29), higher peg processing speed (p = .001, ES Cliff's Delta = .23; p = .001, ES Cliff's Delta = .29), higher total error (p = .001, ES Cliff's Delta = .40; p = .001, ES Cliff's Delta = .51), and total FDT time (p = .0017, ES Cliff's Delta = .14; p = .011, ES Cliff's Delta = .16) in ADHD patients compared to healthy controls.

Conclusion: Manual dexterity evaluation would be helpful to detect the fine motor skill deficits of ADHD children. Although ADHD children were advantageous regarding speed, they were disadvantageous regarding processing errors and total process time. Therefore, the error time data should be considered in evaluating ADHD children, unlike healthy children.

用功能灵巧测验评价ADHD儿童运动技能并与健康对照比较。

目的：探讨功能灵巧测验（FDT）对ADHD儿童精细运动技能的测量结果是否与健康对照组存在差异。第二个目的是评估FDT评估方法在ADHD儿童中的适用性。方法：比较7 ~ 17岁ADHD患者（n = 146）和年龄、性别匹配的健康对照组（n = 213）的FDT结果作为手技能的客观评价。结果：我们发现优势手和非优势手加工时间分别较低p =。001，效应大小克里夫δ = 0.22；p =。001, ES Cliff’s Delta = .29)，更高的peg处理速度（p = .29）。001, ES Cliff’s Delta = .23；p =。001, ES Cliff’s Delta = .29)，总误差更高（p = .29）。001, ES Cliff’s Delta = 0.40；p =。001, ES Cliff’s Delta = .51)，总FDT时间(p =。0017, ES Cliff’s Delta = .14；p =。2011, ES Cliff’s Delta = .16)， ADHD患者与健康对照组相比。结论：手灵巧度评价有助于发现ADHD儿童的精细运动技能缺陷。虽然ADHD儿童在速度上有优势，但在处理错误和总处理时间上有劣势。因此，与健康儿童不同，在评估ADHD儿童时应考虑误差时间数据。
