The Efficacy of Motor Imagery Additional to Task-Oriented Training for Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Study Protocol for a Randomized Open-Label Controlled Trial

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects school-age children and interferes with the practice of their daily activities. Task-oriented work and motor imagery have shown great efficacy in addressing this problem. This study presents a protocol that seeks to understand the effectiveness of a combined program of both modalities on the motor competence of children susceptible to the presence of DCD. Randomised controlled trial. The participants are children susceptible to the presence of DCD (from 6 to 12 years old) distributed into an intervention group that received a total of 20 protocol sessions and a control group that continued with their usual school routine.
