Abstract

In this study the validity of the DCDDaily is investigated, a standardized measuring instrument for the systematic assessment of daily routine motor activities for five to nine years old children. Fourteen children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and 72 control children were assessed with the DCDDaily. The DCDDaily discriminated between children with DCD and control children. Performance on the DCDDaily was compared to performance on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (M-ABC-2), the checklist of the M-ABC-2 and the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCD-Q). Significant correlations were obtained between the DCDDaily and the M-ABC-2, the checklist of the M-ABC-2 and the DCD-Q (respectively r=-0.68; r= 0.34; r=-0.36). Sensitivity of the DCDDaily was 81%, specificity 63% with the M-ABC-2 as standard. Concluding, the DCDDaily is a valid instrument to measure motor performance in activities of daily living.
