Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Growth is a continuous and continuous process of changing motor and cognitive behavior throughout life, which leads to the creation of a person with advanced and organizational abilities, and ultimately develops the ability and skill of a person to interact and adapt to the environment.The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of Transcranial direct current stimulation on Cerebral cortex function of children with developmental coordination disorder(DCD).
Methods: This study was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population in this research included all male students aged 7 to 11 in Khonj city in the academic year of 2022-2023.Using developmental coordination disorder questionnaire (DCD-Q7) and Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2), a number of 80 children with DCD were selected and randomly placed in two experimental(n= 40) and control(n=40) groups. For 8 weeks (3 sessions per week and 20 minutes each session), the experimental group performed the intervention of Transcranial direct current stimulation with an intensity of 1 milliampere. Event-Related Potential (ERP) were used to evaluate the research variables (P300 and P200). The data have been analyzed by covariance analysis.
Results: The results showed that Transcranial direct current stimulation had a significant effect on changing the Cerebral cortex function (P300 and P200 factors) (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results obtained from this research, it can be concluded that Transcranial direct current stimulation as an intervention and providing a suitable environment have a positive effect in increasing the cognitive development capabilities of children with DCD. Finally, it can be said that many medicinal methods and their side effects can be avoided by using the methods of provision and by benefiting from the ability of the environment.
