Self-image is a representation that each person has on its own body. The personality of an individual develops through progressive knowledge of its own body. Children with motor deficiencies have a modified self-image. For the evaluation of self-image a 1 to 10 self-assessment scale for three items (smart, resourceful, beautiful), and two time periods (now and in the future) was used. As to the dynamic components, the area "locus of control" showed significant positive differences between present and future situations (an increase from 22.1% to 56.5% for smart item, from 35.9% to 65.5% for resourceful item and only a small variation from 30.5% to 37.4% for handsome item, regarding the high marks self-assentiment).

Background: In recent years, an increasing number of scholars have begun to focus on the relationship between children's motor development and school activities, with the relationship between children's fine motor skills and academic achievement being a particularly researched area. However, due to different research perspectives among scholars, the results in this field have been somewhat controversial. Therefore, this study aims to delve deeper into the relationship between children's fine motor skills and their various academic abilities through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The DCDDaily-questionnaire (DCDDaliy-Q) evaluates children's performance and participation in motor-based activities of daily living (ADLs), meeting diagnostic criterion B for developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Currently, there are no Chinese translations or growth references available. Thus, this study aimed to culturally adapt, validate, and establish reference norms for the DCDDaily-Q in Chinese children.

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have emerged as a promising non-pharmacological adjunct to neurorehabilitation. Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) exhibit altered cortical excitability, and while CP remains incurable, physiotherapy combined with other interventions is essential for managing motor dysfunction. Although some studies have examined NIBS using various stimulation parameters, there is limited evidence regarding its effects on the lower extremities and optimal administration protocols.

Background: AADCd is a rare neurometabolic disorder presenting in infancy. Children with AADCd have motor dysfunction and development delays that result in the need for lifelong care; quality of life is greatly impacted. Current characterizations of health-related quality of life and associated health state utilities (HSUs) may be underestimated in AADCd.
