Impaired postural control in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder is related to less efficient central as well as peripheral control

Highlights • Postural control in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). • Sway analysis and rambling-trembling decomposition of center of pressure. • The DCD group had a larger sway length than typically developed children (TD). • The DCD group had a larger rambling and trembling t...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Postural control in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). • Sway analysis and rambling-trembling decomposition of center of pressure. • The DCD group had a larger sway length than typically developed children (TD). • The DCD group had a larger rambling and trembling than TD. • The DCD group showed a larger trembling relative to total sway in medio-lateral direction.
