背景资料：先前的研究表明，运动的预测控制在患有发展性协调障碍（DCD）的儿童中受损，最有可能是由于运动的内部建模缺陷。运动想象范式已被用来测试这种内部建模缺陷。本研究的目的是探讨运动技能的心理表象训练是否有助于提高DCD儿童的运动能力。方法/设计：采用前后设计，对9周训练前后的运动表现、运动表象和运动计划能力进行检测。本研究将包括两组：（1）一组接受运动想象（MI）培训，重点是有目的行为的正向建模，（2）一组接受认知定向日常职业表现（CO-OP）培训，重点是识别有效的认知策略，这将提高运动能力。MI培训将通过使用将要接受培训的运动技能的指导视频进行。两组都将参加9个45分钟的单独会议（每周一次），由儿科物理或职业治疗师进行，并增加家庭作业。入选标准为：（1）年龄7-12岁，（2）符合DSM-V DCD标准（运动表现相当低（m-ABC评分
Background: Previous studies have shown that the predictive control of movements is impaired in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), most likely due to a deficit in the internal modeling of movements. Motor imagery paradigms have been used to test this internal modeling deficit. The aim of the present study is to examine whether a training focused on the mental imagery of motor skills, can help to improve the motor abilities of children with DCD.Methods/Design: A pre-post design will be used to examine the motor performance, motor imagery and motor planning abilities before and after a training of 9 weeks. Two groups will be included in this study (1) one receiving motor imagery (MI) training focused on the forward modeling of purposive actions, (2) one receiving Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) training focused on identifying effective cognitive strategies that will increase motor competence. MI training will be given with the use of instruction videos of the motor skill that will be trained. Both groups will participate in 9 individual sessions of 45 min (once a week) with a paediatric physical or occupational therapist, added with homework sessions. Inclusion criteria are: (1) aged 7-12 years, (2) meeting the DSM-V criteria for DCD (motor performance substantially low (score on the m-ABC
