Study arms

  • Experimental
    Basic Body Awareness Group

    This group will receive basic body awareness training

    Other: body awareness therapy

  • Experimental
    Play-based Exercise Group

    An obstacle course will be set up for this group and play-based exercise methods will be implemented.

    Other: play-based exercise

Interventions

  • Otherbody awareness therapy

    Basic body awareness training will be applied to preschool children in terms of motor development and body perception

  • Otherplay-based exercise

    Play-based exercise training will be implemented for preschool children by designing games that they enjoy playing, in order to support motor development and body perception.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. motor development

    Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. A person can receive a maximum raw score of 72 on the test. A higher score indicates better motor proficiency.

    Time frame: 1. week- 12. week

  2. body perception

    A web-based application will be designed for body perception to help children recognize the parts of their own body using body part images, distinguish between right and left, and measure their reaction speed based on their correct responses to these images

    Time frame: 1. week- 12. week

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jul 2025; primary completion for Dec 2025, 5 months later.

Of 96 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Learning Disabilities, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 53. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 99 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 51.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 8, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
