本研究的目的是研究可能存在发育协调障碍（p-DCD）和平衡问题（BP）的儿童与正常发育儿童（TD）在Wii Fit任务中的表现差异，并测量Wii Fit干预后对平衡技能的影响。28名BP患儿和20名td患儿参与了研究。采用儿童运动评估量表（MABC2）、bruinink Oseretsky测试（BOT2）的三个子测试：双侧协调、平衡、跑步速度和敏捷性，以及Wii Fit滑雪障碍测试来评估运动表现。在6周无干预期前后分别对TD患儿和一半BP患儿进行测试。所有患有BP的儿童都接受了6周的Wii Fit干预（除滑雪游戏外的游戏），并在前后进行了测试。BP患儿在玩Wii Fit滑雪障碍游戏时不如TD患儿熟练。Wii Fit的训练提高了他们的运动表现。干预后的改善明显大于未干预一段时间后的改善。因此，变化不能仅仅归因于自发开发或测试-再测试效应。在为期6周的干预中，几乎所有的孩子都喜欢参与。我们的研究表明Wii Fit干预是有效的，并且可能是一种支持治疗儿童（动态）平衡控制问题的方法。(C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
The aim of this study was to examine differences in the performance of children with probable Developmental Coordination Disorder (p-DCD) and balance problems (BP) and typical developing children (TD) on a Wii Fit task and to measure the effect on balance skills after a Wii Fit intervention.Twenty-eight children with BP and 20 TD-children participated in the study. Motor performance was assessed with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC2), three subtests of the Bruininks Oseretsky Test (BOT2): Bilateral Coordination, Balance and Running Speed & Agility, and a Wii Fit ski slalom test. The TD children and half of the children in the BP group were tested before and after a 6 weeks non-intervention period. All children with BP received 6 weeks of Wii Fit intervention (with games other than the ski game) and were tested before and afterwards.Children with BP were less proficient than TD children in playing the Wii Fit ski slalom game. Training with the Wii Fit improved their motor performance. The improvement was significantly larger after intervention than after a period of non-intervention. Therefore the change cannot solely be attributed to spontaneous development or test-retest effect. Nearly all children enjoyed participation during the 6 weeks of intervention. Our study shows that Wii Fit intervention is effective and is potentially a method to support treatment of (dynamic) balance control problems in children. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
