Title: Motor performance of pupils with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Objectives: The aim of the work was to determine the level of fine and gross motor skills of upper extremities of the pupils with diagnosis ADHD at schools specialized on these pupils and compare it with the fine and gross motor skills of upper extremities of children without this diagnosis at common elementary school. Further work objective was to determine the level of gross motor skills of lower limbs and laterality of paired organs (hand - foot) within above mentioned groups of pupils. Methods: To determine the level of fine and gross motor skills of upper extremities, gross motor skills of lower limbs, laterality of the upper and lower extremities of the pupils with and without ADHD aged 9-11 years we used these types of tests: "Spiral", "Dotting test", "Beads" (the level of fine motor skills of the upper extremities); "Pack", "Small plate tapping", "Big plate tapping" (the level of gross motor skills of upper extremities); "Tapping the leg" (the level of gross motor skills of the lower limbs); "Typing out the Rhythm" (the laterality of the lower limbs); "Bell" and "Matches" (the laterality of the upper extremities). Results: The fine motor level of dominant hand was in the case of ADHD diagnosed pupils...

Alkoholinio vaisiaus sindromo sąvoka yra labai plati, ja apibūdinamas kūdikio ar vaiko negrįžtamų anomalijų rinkinys (Lombard et al., 2007). Sindromas pasireiškia motorinio, socialinio, pažintinio ir kalbos vystymosi sutrikimais (Steinhausen et al., 2003), todėl AVS sergantiems asmenims taikomas kompleksinis gydymas (Burd et al., 2003). Tyrimo objektas – alkoholiniu vaisiaus sindromu sergančių vaikų stambioji ir smulkioji motorika. Tyrimo problema – nėra aišku, kokia kineziterapijos ar fizinio aktyvumo forma tinkamiausia alkoholinį vaisiaus sindromą turintiems vaikams, kad gerėtų stambioji ir smulkioji motorika. Darbo tikslas – nustatyti kineziterapijos poveikį vaikų stambiajai ir smulkiajai motorikai esant alkoholiniam vaisiaus sindromui. Šiam tikslui pasiekti iškelti uždaviniai: 1) Įvertinti stambiosios motorikos rodiklius vaikams, turintiems alkoholinį vaisiaus sindromą, taikant bendralavinančius pratimus (kontrolinė grupė) ir judriuosius žaidimus (tiriamoji grupė) prieš ir po kineziterapijos. 2) Įvertinti smulkiosios motorikos rodiklius vaikams, turintiems alkoholinį vaisiaus sindromą, taikant bendralavinančius pratimus (kontrolinė grupė) ir judriuosius žaidimus (tiriamoji grupė) prieš ir po kineziterapijos; 3) palyginti stambiosios ir smulkiosios motorikos rezultatus tarp vaikų, kuriems taikyti bendralavinantys pratimai ir judrieji žaidimai; 4) palyginti bendrą standartinį motorikos rodiklį tarp vaikų, kuriems taikyti bendralavinantys pratimai ir vaikų, kuriems taikyti...

Svarbus vaiko gyvenimo etapas, kai jis pradeda lankyti mokyklą, pareikalauja tikslių, koordinuotų plaštakos ir pirštų judesių, kurie būtini rašant, piešiant ir atliekant daugelį kitų mokymosi procese reikalingų veiksmų. Todėl smulkiosios motorikos lavinimas yra svarbi rengimo mokyklai dalis. Tyrimo tikslas: Ištirti 6 – 7 metų vaikų smulkiosios motorikos ugdymo įtaką jos kaitai ir vaiko mokyklinei brandai. Tyrimo metodai. Tiriamųjų kontingentą sudarė 100 šešerių – septynerių metų vaikų, lankančių darželį. Jie buvo suskirstyti į dvi grupes: tiriamąją (T) ir kontrolinę (K). Abiejose grupėse buvo po 25 mergaites ir 25 berniukus. T grupės vaikams buvo taikoma smulkiosios motorikos lavinimo programa pagal G. Musteikienės (2001) rekomendacijas. K grupė dirbo pagal Lietuvos Respublikos švietimo ministerijos patvirtintą ,,Vėrinėlio‘‘programą. Tyrimo pradžioje (pirmas tyrimas), po penkis mėnesius taikytos smulkiosios motorikos ugdymo programos, abiejų grupių vaikams tyrimai pakartoti (antras tyrimas). Vaikų rankų smulkiąją motoriką vertinome N. Ozereckio smulkiosios motorikos įvertinimo testu; judesių tikslumą ir dažnį, bei rankos raumenų susitraukimo greitį ir dažnį Eurofito testais; mokyklinę brandą tyrėme J. Jiraseko modifikuotu A.

During the first months of age the child is able to better regenerate what has been impaired. Following the phenomenon of integrity of motion and psychics, a method of neurodevelopment therapy (NDT), which helps to treat disordered motion, has been created and successfully applied around the world. In this work a hypothesis was made that if kinesitherapy application is started as early as possible in the infantry, there are better possibilities for the development of disordered motion of infants to reach the level of chronological age development. The aim of the work is to evaluate the effect of kinesitherapy on development of infants’ motion in different periods of infantry. 104 infants, who were brought to Early Rehabilitation Service, were randomly selected. 53 infants constituted the first group (who have started to have kinesitherapy procedures before 4 months of age) and the second group involved 51 infant (who have started to have kinesitherapy procedures being older than 4 months). The following methods were applied in the research: analysis of infants’ anamnesis; evaluation of motion development; mathematical statistics. The research was carried out in Children Clinic of Siauliai Hospital. Each infant was having two kinesitherapy procedures per week for two months. Development of infants was assessed using the method of Munich Functional Development Diagnostics before kinesitherapy procedures and after them (after 2 months). In kinesitherapy procedures the method... [to full text]

Magistro darbe buvo atlikta teorinė mokslinės literatūros analizė apie kalbą ir jos sutrikimus, bendrosios ir smulkiosios motorikos raidos svarbą, artikuliaciją ir jos reikšmę kalbai. Taip pat nagrinėti autorių darbai apie motorikos įtaką kalbos sutrikimams. Prieš atliekant tyrimą, buvo iškelta hipotezė, jog 4-6 metų vaikų motorinės sistemos išlavėjimas gali turėti įtakos vaikų kalbos sutrikimams. Testavimo metodu buvo atliktas tyrimas, kurio tikslas – atskleisti 4-6 metų vaikų kalbos ir motorinės sistemos sutrikimų sąsajas. Atlikta kiekybinė ir kokybinė duomenų analizė, kuri leido nustatyti, ar vaikų motorinės sistemos išlavėjimo lygis daro įtakos jų kalbai. Tyrime dalyvavo 106 ketverių – šešerių metų vaikai, turintys fonologinių kalbos sutrikimų ir įvairaus laipsnio kalbos neišsivystimą. Tyrimas vyko keturiuose Mažeikių lopšeliuose – darželiuose: Delfinas, Kregždutė, Pasaka ir Žilvitis.

Title: The Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Gross and Fine Motor Skills of Individuals Objectives of the thesis: The main objective of my thesis is to assess an immediate effect of alcohol on selected tasks from the area of fine and gross motor skills. First identified were the average values for selected tests in sober individuals, and then the values with an increasing level of alcohol in blood. The second objective is to differentiate whether or not are fine and gross motor skills affected upon the same alcohol level in blood. Methods: The required data were obtained on the basis of experimental measurements on 12 probands (6 women and 6 men) who were tested for fine motor skills using three non- standardized tests modified or created for the purpose of this experiment: threading beads on a string, unlocking locks and dropping coins to a moneybox. Gross motor skills were tested using stabilometric platform in a standing position with legs together and with open eyes for 30 seconds. The observed parameter in the fine motor skills test was the time, while in the stability test it was the track of COP; each fine motor skills test was performed three times in each round. In the second and in each subsequent round every proband was administered 0.3 g of alcohol per kg of weight. The total number of...

Bibliographic identification Name and surname of the author: Mgr. Jakub Kokštejn Name of the dissertation: Physical activity of children with motor difficulties Workplace: Department of Sports Games Supervisor of the work: Doc. PaedDr. Rudolf Psotta, Ph.D. Year of presentation: 2011 Abstract Objective: Current knowledge of developmental disorders in motor skills of school children suggest potential negative impacts on the development of the personality of the child in the mental, social psychological and behavioural areas and also in the area of competence at school. Very little is known about how an insufficient level of motor skills of a child can limit his/her physical activity. This work was performed to discover whether developmentally determined motor deficit in children of older school age is a risk factor for lower physical activity (PA) and whether the attention of the child has a mediation function in the relationship between the level of motor skills and his/her physical activity. Methods: The research was based on analytical-descriptive examination of the motor skills of children, their physical activity in weekly regimes and the attention level, with subsequent comparison of children with a motor deficit (MD) and children without MD, through correlation analysis and analysis of the mediative...
