Comparison of Manual Skills, Visual-Motor Integration and Participation of Children With and Without Type 1 Diabetes

Comparison of Hand Skills, Visual-Motor Integration and Participation in Activities of Daily Living of Children With and Without Type 1 Diabetes

The aim of this study is to compare visual-motor integration, academic achievement and participation in activities of daily living with and without type 1 diabetes.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes; Participation; Hand Skills; Visual Motor Integration
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: Beery- Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration; Behavioral: Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test; Diagnostic test: Participation and Environment Measure - Children and Youth

Detailed Description

There are two different groups in this study. The first group includes children with type 1 diabetes and the second group includes healthy children. Children aged 8-12 years were included in the evaluation. Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration , academic achievement (Turkish, mathematics, social sciences exam scores) Participation and Environment Measure-Children an Youth, Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test were used for evaluation.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Children with Type 1 Diabetes Group; Children with type 1 diabetes were evaluated in terms of their hand skills, visual motor integration, participation in daily life activities and academic success. Hand skills were evaluated using the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test. Participation was evaluated with Participation and Environment Measurement-Children and Youth. Visual motor integration was evaluated with Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration. Academic success was evaluated with the course success score.	Behavioral: Beery- Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration; Investigation of visual motor integration, motor coordination and visual perception by Beery- Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration.; Behavioral: Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test; Investigation of hand skills by Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test; Diagnostic test: Participation and Environment Measure - Children and Youth; Investigation of participation by Participation and Environment Measure - Children and Youth
Children without Type 1 Diabetes Group; Children without type 1 diabetes were evaluated in terms of their hand skills, visual motor integration, participation in daily life activities and academic success. Hand skills were evaluated using the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test. Participation was evaluated with Participation and Environment Measurement-Children and Youth. Visual motor integration was evaluated with Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration. Academic success was evaluated with the course success score.	Behavioral: Beery- Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration; Investigation of visual motor integration, motor coordination and visual perception by Beery- Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration.; Behavioral: Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test; Investigation of hand skills by Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test; Diagnostic test: Participation and Environment Measure - Children and Youth; Investigation of participation by Participation and Environment Measure - Children and Youth

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Visual Motor Integration	Visual-motor integration (VMI) is "the degree to which visual perception and finger-hand movements are well coordinated" and will asses with Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration in this study. This test is a standardized, norm-referenced assessment involving copying geometric forms that is used to determine the level of integration between visual and motor systems in people of all ages. The Short Format and Full Format tests take about 10-15 minutes each to administer. Results are reported as standard scores, percentiles, and age equivalents.	30 minutes
Hand Skills	The Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) assesses both dominant and non-dominant hand skills and provides an objective assessment of hand function included in 7 subtests of daily living activities. The time (in seconds) to perform the 7 subtests is measured by the stopwatch. JTHFT is valid, reliable and normative for children.	10-15 minutes
Participation	Participation and Environment Measurement- Children and Youth (PEM-CY) is a parent reported measure developed in North America. Evaluates the environmental factors affecting the participation of disabled and non-disabled children and young people. It examines three environments, home, school and environment, and discusses each environment in two parts as "participation and environment".	25-40 minutes
academic achievement	Academic achievement was evaluated with Turkish, mathematics and social sciences course success points.	1 minutes
