Comparison of Manual Skills, Visual-Motor Integration and Participation of Children With and Without Type 1 Diabetes

Istanbul Medipol University Hospital89 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study is to compare visual-motor integration, academic achievement and participation in activities of daily living with and without type 1 diabetes.

There are two different groups in this study. The first group includes children with type 1 diabetes and the second group includes healthy children. Children aged 8-12 years were included in the evaluation. Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration , academic achievement (Turkish, mathematics, social sciences exam scores) Participation and Environment Measure-Children an Youth, Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test were used for evaluation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual Motor Integration

Visual-motor integration (VMI) is "the degree to which visual perception and finger-hand movements are well coordinated" and will asses with Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration in this study. This test is a standardized, norm-referenced assessment involving copying geometric forms that is used to determine the level of integration between visual and motor systems in people of all ages. The Short Format and Full Format tests take about 10-15 minutes each to administer. Results are reported as standard scores, percentiles, and age equivalents.

Time frame: 30 minutes

Hand Skills

The Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) assesses both dominant and non-dominant hand skills and provides an objective assessment of hand function included in 7 subtests of daily living activities. The time (in seconds) to perform the 7 subtests is measured by the stopwatch. JTHFT is valid, reliable and normative for children.

Time frame: 10-15 minutes

Participation

Participation and Environment Measurement- Children and Youth (PEM-CY) is a parent reported measure developed in North America. Evaluates the environmental factors affecting the participation of disabled and non-disabled children and young people. It examines three environments, home, school and environment, and discusses each environment in two parts as "participation and environment".

Time frame: 25-40 minutes

academic achievement

Academic achievement was evaluated with Turkish, mathematics and social sciences course success points.

Time frame: 1 minutes
