Abstract:
Objective:To investigate whether the likelihood of balance impairment in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) increases with the presence of disruptive behavior disorder(DBD),and whether the likelihood of co-occurring diagnosis of DBD increases in ADHD children with severer balance deficit.Methods:Three groups of 20 children each,representing pure ADHD,ADHD+DBD,and typically developing control children,were included and group matched by age and gender.Balance functions were assessed with the Balance Master in different conditions.We compared the percentages of children in each group who swayed faster than 85% of the typical control children in all conditions.Results:In the conditions of firm surface with eyes open(FI/EO) and eyes closed(FI/EC),and foam surface with eyes open(FO/EO) and eyes closed(FO/EC),the sway velocities of ADHD only group(0.65?0.26 ?/s,0.65?0.30 ?/s,0.95?0.29 ?/s,and 1.70?0.49?/s,respectively) were significantly higher than those of the typical control group(0.47?0.18 ?/s,0.43?0.19 ?/s,0.76?0.21 ?/s,and 1.27?0.38 ?/s,respectively)(P
