abstract="This study reports the findings of an effect-evaluation study of physiotherapy for clumsy children. 18 children were identified by school doctors as having poor motor co-ordination. They were followed for three months in order to exclude spontaneous improvement of motor problems; none spontaneously improved. Subsequently, these children were enrolled on a regular physiotherapy programme. Treatment was administered individually twice a week over three months. The effects of treatment for clumsy children appeared to be promising: important improvements were found on various motor skills. These benefits were maintained for a three-month period after the end of treatment.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
