The Efficacy of Motor Imagery Additional to Task-Oriented Training for Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Study Protocol for a Randomized Open-Label Controlled Trial.

Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects school-age children and interferes with the practice of their daily activities. Task-oriented work and motor imagery have shown great efficacy in addressing this problem.

Objective: This study presents a protocol that seeks to understand the effectiveness of a combined program of both modalities on the motor competence of children susceptible to the presence of DCD.
