Diagnostic Criteria

DSM-V Diagnostic Criteria for Develomental coordination disorder[1]

“
  • A. The acquisition and execution of coordinated motor skills is substantially below that expected given the individual’s chronological age and opportunity for skill learning and

use. Difficulties are manifested as clumsiness (e.g., dropping or bumping into objects) as well as slowness and inaccuracy of performance of motor skills (e.g., catching an object, using scissors or cutlery, handwriting, riding a bike, or participating in sports). AND

  • B. The motor skills deficit in Criterion A significantly and persistently interferes with activitiesof daily living appropriate to chronological age (e.g., self-care and self-maintenance) and impacts academic/school productivity, prevocational and vocational activities, leisure, and play.

AND

  • C. Onset of symptoms is in the early developmental period.

AND

  • D. The motor skills deficits are not better explained by intellectual disability (Intellectual developmentaldisorder) or visual impairment and are not attributable to a neurological condition affecting movement (e.g., cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, degenerative disorder).

Overview

Epidemilogy and Demographics

Prevalence

The prevalence of developmental coordination disorder in childhren ages 5-11 is 5000-6000 per 100,000 (5-6%) of the overall population.[1]

Risk Factors Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [5]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Kiran Singh, M.D. [6]

Overview

Risk factors for developmental coordination disorder includes ADHD, autism spectrum disorder,cerebellar dysfunction and prenatal exposure to alcohol among others.[1]


Risk Factors

  • Autism spectrum disorder
  • ADHD
  • Cerebellar dysfunction
  • Prenatal exposure to alcohol
  • Preterm and low-birth-weight children
  • Specific learning disabilities[1]

Differential Disorder

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [7]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Kiran Singh, M.D. [8]

Overview

Developmental coordination disorder must be differentiated from other diseases such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, joint hypermobility syndrome and intellectual disability.[1]


Differential Diagnosis

  • Autism spectrum disorder.
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
  • Joint hypermobility syndrome.
  • Intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder).
  • Motor impairments due to another medical condition.[1]
