This research aims to analyze neurological development in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and classify the level of neurological dysfunction.
Conducted neurological examinations measuring eight domains of functioning.
Classified children into typical development, simple minor neurological dysfunctions (sMND), and complex minor neurological dysfunctions (cMND).
Divided DCD children into subtypes based on motor skills and examined emotional/behavioral problem prevalence.
About two-thirds of children with DCD were classified as cMND; one-third as sMND.
cMND more prevalent in children with severe generalized and gross motor skill problems.
No significant difference in emotional and behavioral problems between cMND and sMND groups.
