Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Source: | GAIT & POSTURE, 83 , p. 268 -279 | Abstract: | Background: Although it is recognized that the majority of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) have balance deficits, comprehensive insights into which balance domains are affected, are still lacking in literature. Research question: To what extent is balance control deficient in individuals with DCD compared to controls? Methods: Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science were systematically searched. Risk of bias was assessed with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network checklist for case-control studies. Mean and standard deviations characterizing balance control were extracted to calculate standardized mean differences (SMD) and pooled, if possible, using Review Manager. Results: The results of 31 studies (1152 individuals with DCD, 1103 typically developing (TD) peers, mean age 10.4 years old) were extracted of which 17 were used for meta-analysis. The mean SMD for the balance subscale of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children was 1.63 (pooled 95 %CI =[1.30;1.97]), indicating children with DCD to perform significantly poorer than their TD peers. Force plate studies also revealed that children with DCD present with a larger sway path during bipedal stance with eyes closed (pooled mean SMD = 0.55; 95 %CI= [0.32;0.78]). Children with DCD tend to have direction-specific limited stability limits and task-independent delayed onset of anticipatory postural adjustments. Interpretation: Children with DCD perform poorer on different domains of balance compared to TD peers. Future research should focus on comprehensive balance assessment in these children, preferably using a longitudinal design. | Keywords: | Postural balance;Balance control;Developmental coordination disorder;Motor skills disorders | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/33034 | ISSN: | 0966-6362 | e-ISSN: | 1879-2219 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2020.10.009 | ISI #: | WOS:000604402600040 | Rights: | 2020 Elsevier B.V.
