An interventional study of Fine Motor Skills Training in Handwriting, Telerehabilitation and Fine Motor Skills, sponsored by Hacettepe University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 8 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-20.
Sponsored by Hacettepe University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a randomized controlled study examining the effect of telerehabilitation on fine motor performance and handwriting difficulties experienced by children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
It is planned that 40 children between the ages of 6-8 diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder and their families will participate voluntarily. An informed consent form, BOT-2 and Minnesota Handwriting Test will be sent to volunteer participants via e-mail. An evaluation session on Zoom application will be held for each participant with the participation of the occupational therapist, child and family. After the evaluation, the participants will be randomized and allocated to study and control groups.
Fine motor skills training will be given to the study group 3 sessions a week. The training will be given on the Zoom application and the duration is 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, the evaluation will be done again with BOT-2 and Minnesota Handwriting Test.
The control group will be evaluated with BOT-2 and Minnesota Handwriting Test for the second time after waiting 8 weeks and will receive fine motor skills training.

The fine motor skills training program was planned for the areas of difficulty that children with ADHD experience in the fine motor area as stated in the literature (Lavasani \& Stagnitti, 2011). The fine motor goals were organized for 8 weeks, each week including a different fine motor area and practicing handwriting. For each fine motor goal, 3 different activities were identified that did not require materials or could be practiced with materials that could be easily found in each child's home. For example, for the fine motor strengthening goal, three different activities were planned for the same purpose with tools such as play dough, nails, and staples (Case-Smith \& O'Brien, 2013). The activities determined each week were repeated three days a week in the same way and applied to all children. Within the 40-minute session, each activity was performed for 10 minutes under the guidance of an expert occupational therapist.
Minnesota Handwriting Test
It evaluates six categories, including legibility, form, alignment, size, spacing, and rate
Time frame: 5 minute
Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test- 2 Short Form (BOT-2)
The test has been produced as a motor function assessment tool that can be applied to children in a short time. Fine motor accuracy, fine motor integration, dexterity, bilateral coordination and upper extremity coordination sub-parameters of the test will be applied.
Time frame: 15 minute
